Origin and history

The hotel, located at 35-37 rue de Fontenelle in Rouen, is a monument built between the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th century. This building, representative of the civil architecture of this period, is distinguished by its street façade and roof, protected by a decree of inscription under the Historical Monuments of 6 November 1953. These architectural elements reflect popular styles and techniques during the transition from the Old Regime to the early industrial era.

The location of the Hotel, in the centre of Rouen, a major city of Normandy, suggests its integration into a dynamic urban fabric, marked by trade and cultural exchanges. At that time Rouen was an important economic hub, thanks in particular to its river port and its role in textile trade. Private hotels, like this one, often served as residences for bourgeois families or traders, symbolizing their social status and prosperity.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of the current location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location or subsequent urban developments. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation), or on any historic owners or occupants. The sources are limited to Monumentum and Merimée bases, without further details on its past or present use.
