history
In 1807, Napoléon Bonaparte commissioned the architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart to build the Paris Stock Exchange. However, he died before the building was completed on June 6, 1813. Of the many candidates who applied for successors, such as B. François-Joseph Bélanger and Louis-Pierre Baltard , Eloi Labarre (1764–1833) finally prevailed and completed the construction in November 1825.
