Origin and history

The building located at 84 rue de Bretagne au Havre is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Ranked for its facades and roofs by order of 4 October 1946, it bears witness to the city's urban architecture after the Second World War. The precise location, noted as "a priori satisfactory", places this building in an emblematic district of Le Havre, marked by reconstruction.

Le Havre, the major port city of Normandy, suffered extensive damage during the war, leading to massive reconstruction in the 1940s-1950s. The buildings of this period, like that of the rue de Bretagne, often illustrate a mixture of traditional and modern styles, adapted to the needs of the time. Their preservation allows us to understand the urban and social evolution of the region, in a context of post-conflict economic and cultural renewal.
