Origin and history

The building at the 9th wharf of Montebello, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the last quarter of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of transition between the Ancien Régime and the industrial period, marked by urban density and progressive stylistic transformations.

The protection of this building specifically concerns its facade on street as well as the shop gate (the one of the restaurant La Bottle d'Or), inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 23 May 1984. This heritage recognition underscores the historical and aesthetic interest of these elements, as a witness to the commercial and residential developments of the neighbourhood at that time.

The Quai de Montebello, bordering the Seine, was a strategic place for artisanal and merchant activities as early as the 18th century. The buildings in this area often reflect a functional mix, combining housing, workshops and shops, characteristic of pre-haussmannian Parisian urbanization. The location of this building, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, makes it a representative example of this urban heritage.

Available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée internal data) specify that the location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), indicating an approximation in the exact delineation of the site. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, etc.), or on any historic owners or occupants other than the restaurant.
