Origin and history

The house located at 88 rue Bonaparte in the 6th arrondissement of Paris is a 17th-century building. It is listed as a Historical Monument, with specific protection granted to some of its architectural elements. The cochère door, the courtyard façade and the wrought iron staircase ramp were inscribed by ministerial decree on February 18, 1926, highlighting their heritage value.

The building is part of the Parisian architectural landscape of the Grand Century, a period marked by the rise of private hotels and bourgeois residences. At that time, the neighbourhood, now known for its historical and cultural character, was home to an affluent population, often linked to the nobility of dress or to the rising bourgeoisie. The houses of this period reflected the aesthetic and social codes of the era, where the exterior appearance and decorative details, such as wrought iron ramps, reflected the status of their owners.
