Origin and history

The building in 6 Place de l'Odéon, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose protected elements include roofs and facades overlooking the square and the street. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments dates from a decree of 3 October 1946, highlighting its heritage interest in an emblematic district of the capital.

The location of this building, at the corner of Rue Regnard and close to Rue de Condé, makes it a witness to Parisian urban planning in the early 20th century. Although the available sources do not specify its initial use or potential significant occupants, its architecture and location reflect the development of the neighbourhood, marked by a mix of residential, cultural and commercial functions.

The 1946 classification is part of a period of increased protection of French heritage after the Second World War, aimed at preserving buildings representative of the history and identity of cities. In Paris, the 6th arrondissement, known for its intellectual institutions and sociability (such as literary cafes), is home to many protected buildings, including this building.
