Origin and history

The building located in 8 Place du Palais-Bourbon and 4 rue de Bourgogne, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by a classic style and harmonious facades. It is included in the inventory of Historic Monuments, with a first protection in 1935 for its facade and roof on the square, followed by a second in 1967 for those overlooking the street.

The location of this building, near the Palais Bourbon (seat of the National Assembly since 1798), suggests a historical context linked to the development of the district as a place of power and aristocratic residence. At that time, the 7th arrondissement, then in full transformation, hosted private hotels and luxury buildings, reflecting the influence of the nobility and rising bourgeoisie under the reign of Louis XV and Louis XVI.

The successive protections (1935 and 1967) underline the heritage value of its architectural elements, typical of the 18th century Parisian. The absence of sources detailing its specific history or its occupants suggests a mainly residential vocation, in a neighbourhood where urban planning was strongly influenced by political institutions and social elites.
