Origin and history

The mansion located at the 29 quai de Bourbon, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic monument of the 2nd quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. This building, which has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1988, is distinguished by its facade and roof overlooking the wharf, as well as its stairwell, elements protected by ministerial decree. These architectural features reflect the stylistic evolutions of the Baroque and classical eras, typical of Parisian private hotels of this period.

The location of the hotel, on the island of Saint-Louis, makes it a witness to the urbanization and beautification of Paris under the Ancien Régime. The quay of Bourbon, built in the 17th century, was then a popular place for the aristocracy and the affluent bourgeoisie, attracted by the proximity of royal power and cultural centres. The architect or architect identified, Jean Thérioti, helped shape this building, although the precise details of his intervention remain partially documented in the available sources.

The legal protections applied in 1988 specifically concern parts of the building which are considered representative of its history and architectural style. The listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments highlights the heritage value of the hotel, while allowing its preservation in the face of urban transformations. The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, confirm its exact address and its Insee code (75104), but do not specify its current use, whether it is a private residence, a place open to the public or a space dedicated to specific activities.
