Origin and history

The building at 30 rue de Buci, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. It is part of the civil architectural heritage of this period, marked by facades and roofs typical of Parisian urbanism of the period. Its protected elements, such as the facades on street and courtyard, as well as stairway A, testify to its historical and aesthetic importance.

The protection of this building was formalized by two decrees: the first in 1946 concerns the facades and roofs of 30 rue de Buci, while the second in 1987 extends this protection to stairway A of the same building, as well as to the facades and roofs of the neighbouring building at 28 rue de Buci and 1 rue Bourbon-le-Château. These measures reflect the desire to preserve a representative heritage of the Paris des Lumières.

The exact address, 28-30 rue de Buci and 1 rue Bourbon-le-Château, is referenced in the Mérimée base under the Insee code 75106, confirming its anchoring in the historic district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), makes it possible to identify this monument as an example of 18th-century bourgeois residential architecture in Paris.

No information is available about its current use (visits, rentals, etc.), but its status as a Historic Monument makes it a key part of the Parisian heritage. Sources, including Monumentum, highlight its interest in the study of the urban and architectural evolution of the capital under the Old Regime.

The historical context of this building is part of a period when Paris is experiencing a major urban boom, with the construction of many private hotels and related buildings for a growing bourgeoisie. These buildings, often organized around inner courtyards, reflect the social and aesthetic codes of the time, mixing functionality and decoration.

Finally, the Creative Commons license associated with Mbzt's photo recalls the importance of visual documentation for valuing this heritage, while highlighting the limitations of the available data on its detailed history or its former occupants.
