Origin and history

The building located at 35 rue de la Harpe and 24 rue de la Parchmenterie, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. It is a building representative of Parisian civil architecture of this time, marked by decorative and structural elements typical of the Louis XV style. The building was partially protected under the Historical Monuments, with an inscription by decree of 28 December 1979, covering specifically the facade and roof on the rue de la Harpe, as well as the staircase and its wrought iron ramp.

The location of this building in the Latin Quarter reflects the historical importance of this area of Paris, known for its intellectual and academic role since the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, this area was home to a mixed population, composed of artisans, bourgeois and students, in a changing urban context. The buildings of this period were often designed to combine functionality and aesthetics, with careful architectural details, as evidenced by the wrought iron ramp of this building.

The architect or contractor identified for this building is Charles Bernard, whose name is associated with the construction of the building. Although little additional information is available on the specific circumstances of its construction or its initial use, partial protection of the building underscores its heritage interest. The available data indicate an approximate location, with an accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10), and slightly divergent addresses between administrative sources and GPS coordinates.
