Origin and history

The house located at 9 rue Aubriot in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is a 17th-century civil building. It is representative of Parisian domestic architecture of this period, marked by sober facades and discreet decorative elements. Although little documented, its entrance door, with its vantals, was considered remarkable enough to be protected under the Historic Monuments.

The inscription in the inventory of the Historical Monuments, which took place by decree on 15 June 1925, concerns only the vantals of the gate on street, identified under the reference cadastral 04 : 02 AH 49. This partial protection underlines the heritage importance of this specific element, without extending recognition to the whole building. The location indicated in the Mérimée base (9 rue Aubriot) differs slightly from the GPS coordinates (17 rue des Blancs Manteaux), perhaps reflecting historical inaccuracies or urban changes.

The 17th century Paris is a period of architectural transformation, where private hotels and bourgeois houses multiply under the influence of the great works led by Louis XIV and his architects. Doors and windows, often richly worked out, become social and aesthetic markers. In this context, the house of Rue Aubriot, although modest in appearance, illustrates this trend by preserving its vantals, today the only remains protected from its history.

Practical information on the accessibility of the monument (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified in the available sources. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), which may complicate its exact identification for researchers or visitors. The data come mainly from the Monumentum database and the Mérimée archives, without any mention of other complementary sources.
