Key figures

Louis Le Tellier - Architect Manufacturer of the building in the 18th century

Origin and history

The building at 13 rue Royale, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second half of the 18th century. This building illustrates the refined civil architecture of this period, marked by elegant facades and neat interior decorations. It was designed by architect Louis Le Tellier, whose name remains associated with this project.

The building has been protected under the Historic Monuments since 1949 for its facade and roof, then in 1964 for its remarkable interior elements. The latter include carved door tops, chimneys, cornices and a wrought iron staircase ramp, a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The decorations include a variety of motifs ( urns, torches, women's and men's heads), distributed in the living rooms and rooms on the second and third floors.

The location of the building, 13 rue Royale, places this monument in an emblematic district of Paris, close to Place de la Concorde. Although the accuracy of its location is considered fair (note 5/10), its address is clearly identified in heritage bases, such as Mérimée. Today, the building belongs to a private company, which limits its accessibility to the public.

The successive protections (classification in 1949 and inscription in 1964) underline the heritage value of this building, both for its exterior architecture and for the richness of its interior decorations. These elements, characteristic of the eighteenth century, make a significant example of the Parisian heritage of the Ancien Régime.
