Origin and history

The grocery store at 10 rue Gustave-Flaubert, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose protection specifically concerns its front. This Modern'Style-style front was registered by ministerial decree on 23 May 1984. This type of commercial architecture reflects the aesthetic and functional evolution of urban shops in the early twentieth century, although the exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources.

Local shops such as this grocer shop played a central role in the daily life of Parisian neighbourhoods. In Paris, at the beginning of the twentieth century, these establishments were places of sociability and supply essential for the inhabitants. Their front, often neat, served both as a showcase for the products and as a local identity marker.

The protection of this frontage underscores his heritage interest, both in his style and in his testimony to the commercial practices of the time.
