Origin and history

The butcher shop located at 4 rue d'Alleray in the 15th arrondissement of Paris is an architectural testimony of the early twentieth century, more precisely of the first quarter of this century. It was set up around 1913 by Jules Mareschal, a company specializing in butchers. This monument is distinguished by its cast iron front, decorated with diris motifs, and its marble base. The painted and gilded panels under glass, decorated with scratches at their base, reflect the artisanal know-how of the time.

The front, protected by a decree of 23 May 1984, illustrates the importance attached to the aesthetics of food shops in the early twentieth century. At that time, Paris was undergoing a modernization of its urban spaces, where art and industry blended to embellish the brands and attract customers. Butcheries, essential places of daily life, become showcases of technical and artistic progress, as evidenced by this achievement signed by Jules Mareschal.

The exact address of this monument, 4 rue d'Alleray, is listed in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 75115, confirming its anchoring in the Parisian heritage. Although GPS location is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10), this butcher shop remains a remarkable example of the commercial and artisanal legacy of the French capital. Its inscription in the title of Historic Monuments underscores its heritage value, both for its architecture and for its role in the history of Parisian mouthwork.
