Origin and history

The building located at 38 rue Quincampoix in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is a 17th-century building. It is distinguished by its architecture characteristic of this period, with a facade on street and a roof that were protected by a ministerial decree. This building bears witness to the Parisian urban heritage of the modern era, marked by a densification of constructions and an aesthetic research specific to the Grand Century.

The banquet room, located on the first floor, houses a ceiling decorated with a recognized heritage value. This element, as well as the façade, was registered under the Historical Monuments on 29 October 1968. This protection highlights the artistic and historical importance of the building, while emphasizing its role in the architectural history of Paris. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, attests to its central location in a neighborhood full of history.

The classification of the building reflects a desire to preserve the material traces of the 17th century in Paris, a time when the city was declared a major political, cultural and economic centre in Europe. Although the available sources do not specify the original uses of the building, its conservation status and protected elements suggest a representative function, possibly linked to social or commercial activities specific to the Old Regime.
