Origin and history

The building at 10 rue des Lombards, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a monument whose construction periods run from the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries. This building illustrates the architectural evolution of the capital through these three epochs, with characteristic elements of each period. Its inscription in the Inventory of Historic Monuments in 1974 specifically concerns its facade and roof on street, highlighting their heritage value and their representativeness for Parisian urban history.

The location of this building, in the Halles district and close to Rue de Rivoli, makes it a witness to the transformations in central Paris. In the 16th century, the area was an economic and artisanal centre, while in the 18th and 19th centuries, it underwent major renovations linked to the expansion of the city and Haussmann projects. The buildings of that time often served as housing, workshops or shops, reflecting the social and functional diversity of the Marais.

The partial protection of the building by decree of 12 April 1974 is part of a broader approach to preserving the heritage of Paris, particularly in central areas where old buildings are threatened by modernization. The reference to an approximate location (accuracy noted 5/10) and the absence of details on its current use (visit, rental) suggest that its value lies primarily in its architecture and historical anchor, rather than in a marked public or tourist service.
