Origin and history

The building, located at 118 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose protection is specific to the facade overlooking the garden and the vestibule fountain. These architectural elements, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1927, bear witness to a preserved urban heritage, characteristic of private hotels or bourgeois residences in this emblematic district. The exact location, although validated by GPS coordinates, is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10) in heritage databases.

The historic and prestigious Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré has concentrated since the 18th century on aristocratic houses and political or diplomatic institutions. The inscription of this building is part of a desire to preserve the interior and exterior decorations representative of the Parisian art of living of past centuries. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, or private residence), or on any owners or architects associated with its construction or renovation.

Available sources (Mérimée database, Monumentum) are limited to administrative and descriptive data, without details on the specific history of the building. The Insee code of the municipality (75108) confirms its anchoring in Paris, Île-de-France region, but no construction period is explicitly mentioned in the documents consulted.
