Origin and history

The building, located at 60 rue Quincampoix, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th century building. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period, with a facade and a roof on the street, as well as an interior staircase, protected by ministerial decree. These elements reflect the aesthetic and technical codes of the era, marked by a search for balance and elegance in urban buildings.

The protection of the building, effective since 12 April 1974, underlines its heritage importance. The decree of inscription specifically concerns the facade, roof and stairway, architectural components often highlighted in private hotels and bourgeois buildings of the Enlightenment century. The location in the historic Marais district, known for its rich heritage, reinforces its cultural and tourist interest.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address corresponds to the Insee code 75104, confirming its anchoring in the Parisian fabric. Although the practical information on current visits or uses is not detailed, the location on Quincampoix Street, famous for its history of financial and craft activities, adds a contextual dimension to this monument. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), indicating a minor geographical uncertainty margin.
