Origin and history

The buildings at 3ter and 6 Villa de Beauséjour, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, date from the 3rd quarter of the 19th century. These buildings, representative of the Parisian architecture of that time, were listed as Historic Monuments in 1992 for their facades and roofs. Their style reflects the urban trends of the end of the Second Empire and the beginning of the Third Republic, a period marked by a real estate expansion and a transformation of the Parisian landscape under the influence of Baron Haussmann.

The architect Paul Benard is identified as the owner of these buildings. Their listing in the inventory of Historical Monuments, by order of 18 June 1992, specifically concerns external elements (cadastre CM 2, 4, 7). Although their current use is not specified in the sources, their location in a crowded residential area of Paris suggests an initial bourgeois vocation, typical of the constructions of this period.

The Villa de Beauséjour, private road of the 16th arrondissement, illustrates the Parisian town planning of the 19th century, where villas and private hotels coexisted with the big boulevards. These buildings, although less known than the major monuments of the capital, bear witness to the architectural and social evolution of Paris at a pivotal time. Their heritage protection underscores their historical and aesthetic value in an area marked by elegance and prestige.
