Origin and history

The building at 9 rue de Condé, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is an 18th-century emblematic building. Its construction is part of the architectural context of this period, marked by the emergence of refined urban buildings, reflecting the evolution of styles and construction techniques of the era. Although the details of its sponsor or architect are not specified, its listing as Historic Monuments demonstrates its heritage importance.

The protection of this building, effective since 3 December 1962, specifically concerns its street façade and the corresponding roof. This measure of preservation illustrates the desire to retain representative architectural elements of the 18th century in Paris. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, makes it a point of interest in the historical landscape of the neighborhood, although its location is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10).

The 6th arrondissement of Paris, where this building is located, is an area rich in heritage, with many buildings classified or registered. At the time of its construction, this sector was already a place of residence popular with the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, attracted by its elegant setting and proximity to the power centres. The buildings of this period often played a role both residential and representative, embodying the social status of their occupants.

Today, the building on 9 rue de Condé remains a testimony of 18th-century Parisian urban planning. Although it is not open to visit, its protected façade offers passersby an overview of the civil architecture of the Old Regime. The available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, allow us to situate this monument in a wider historical context, while stressing its local importance.
