Origin and history

The building at No. 11 of Place d'Armes in Fontainebleau is a civil building whose facade and roof have been listed as historical monuments since 1931. This three-level building, with a top floor integrated into a Mansart roof, is distinguished by its central entrance accessible by five steps, surmounted by a pediment. The facades, with white mouldings and a slate roof, reflect a neat architecture typical of the early twentieth century.

The watercolourist Germaine Tailleur, a local artistic figure, lived in this building in the early 1900s. This detail highlights the link between this place and the cultural milieu of Fontainebleau, a city historically marked by its artistic and architectural heritage. The partial protection of the building in 1931 aims to preserve its most remarkable exterior elements, such as the façade and roof.

Located in the centre of Fontainebleau, south-west of the Seine-et-Marne, this building is part of an urban environment rich in historical monuments. Its exact address, 11 Place d'Armes, makes it a point of interest in an area where several other buildings and private hotels are also protected, such as the Hotel d'Albret or the 7-9 building of the same square.

The approximate GPS location near Rue d'Avon and its Insee code (77186) confirm its anchoring in the commune of Fontainebleau, Île-de-France. Although the sources do not specify its current use, its status as a historic monument and its residential past make it a witness to the local and architectural history of the region.
