Historical Marker

11-13 rue Francois Miron

Transliteration:

Medieval residences are very rare in Paris.
Those of François Miron street, with the sign of the Reaper at no. 11 and the sign of the Sheep at no. 13,
are proven to be from the beginning of 16th century and could date, in their primitive state, from the 14th century.
In 1508, repeated royal decrees prohibited projecting constructions,
which were likely to break down and cause accidents in the street.
This is why the pinion of no. 13 was chopped off during the 17th century.
It was rebuilt in 1967, during the time of the restoration of these two houses.

In 1607, an edict ordered the covering of the wood sides with plaster
which constituted the reinforcement of the edifices in order to limit fire hazards.
Architecture uncovered and restored them while following the original drawings.
