Origin and history

The building located at 100 rue Saint-Martin and 49 rue Saint-Merri, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 17th century. This building, typical of the Parisian civil architecture of that time, was partially protected under the title of Historical Monuments. Its facades and roofs overlooking the streets were inscribed by ministerial decree in 1974, highlighting their heritage value and representativeness for the historic Marais district.

The 17th century marked a period of major urban transformation in Paris, with the emergence of a more structured residential architecture, often destined for a growing bourgeoisie or nobility. The buildings of this time, like that of Rue Saint-Martin, reflect the aesthetic and social codes of their time, mixing practical functions and characteristic ornaments. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the evolution of the Parisian urban fabric, especially in neighbourhoods such as the Marais, where history and modernity coexist.

The information available on this building comes mainly from the Merimée base and sources like Monumentum. Although its location is documented with an accuracy deemed "passible" (note 5/10), its exact address is attested by the archives, and virtual views (like Street View) allow to appreciate its exterior appearance. However, no information is provided on its current use, whether it be visits, rentals or other services.
