Origin and history

The building at 30 rue de Condé, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th century building. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, marked by decorative elements and a harmony of proportions. Although the details of its initial construction remain partial, its inscription as a Historic Monument in 1962 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its street façade and stair ramp, protected by ministerial decree.

The location of this building in a central district of Paris reflects the increasing urbanization of the capital in the Enlightenment century. At that time, the 6th arrondissement, then in full transformation, welcomed an affluent bourgeoisie and intellectuals, helping to shape the cultural and architectural face of the city. The buildings of this period often served as residences for elites or places of sociability, illustrating the social and economic dynamism of Paris.

The partial inclusion of the building as a Historic Monument in 1962 helped to preserve key elements of its heritage, such as the façade and the corresponding roof, as well as the stair ramp. These protections underline the importance attached to the conservation of the old building in the capital, despite the urban pressures of the 20th century. Today, the building remains a private property, without any indication of its accessibility to the public or its current use.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, provide administrative and technical information such as its precise address or Insee code (75106). However, details of its specific history, past occupants or architect remain missing from the accessible archives. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), suggesting margins of uncertainty on its exact coordinates.

The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the building (credit: Jmgobet) allows the free distribution of its image, contributing to its visibility in online documentary resources. This modern aspect contrasts with the older building, illustrating the dialogue between heritage and digital. Despite its protected status, the building does not appear to be the subject of organised visits or special tourist development.

Finally, the absence of references to any historical figures related to this building or to significant events that would be carried out there limits the narrative scope of its history. His interest lies mainly in his architectural and urban representativeness, rather than in an associative or anecdotal memory.
