Origin and history

The Store, located in Annecy, is a monument dated the 1st quarter of the 19th century. This building, whose frontage has been protected since 1984, illustrates the commercial architecture of this period in Haute-Savoie. Its location, at 19 rue du Pâquier (or 21 according to the sources), reflects the town's urban planning at that time, marked by economic development and the structuring of spaces dedicated to trade.

The protection of the front door by order of 28 December 1984 underlines its heritage interest. This type of monument, typical of the city centres of the early 19th century, often served as a place of exchange and storage for local merchants. In Annecy, as in other cities in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, these stores played a key role in economic and social life, reflecting the transformations associated with the Industrial Revolution and increasing urbanization.
