In the early seventeenth century, following the construction of the Place des Vosges, this district, hitherto peripheral became the residence of the Parisian nobility. Many mansions are being built, many remain today. The mid-eighteenth century the area was deserted by the Paris elite in favor of the Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Faubourg Saint-Germain that offer more room.

In 1969, André Malraux launched a program to safeguard and preserve that continues today.
