Origin and history

The building, located at 54 rue de Seine, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th century building. Its facades and roofs, characteristic of the Parisian architecture of this period, were protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments on 28 September 1948. This classification reflects the heritage value of this building, representative of the style and constructive techniques of its time.

The location of this building, in the historic district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, is part of an urban environment marked by a high concentration of old buildings. At the time of its construction, the 6th arrondissement was a privileged place of residence for the aristocracy and the Parisian bourgeoisie, reflecting the cultural and architectural dynamism of the capital. The buildings of this period often played a central role in the social and economic life of the city, housing housing, workshops or shops.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address of this building is sometimes subject to approximations, as evidenced by the difference between the official address (54 rue de Seine) and the GPS coordinates (71 rue de Seine). This disparity highlights the challenges associated with the precise location of historic monuments in dense and ever-changing urban areas.
