Origin and history

The buildings located on Rue Parmentier in Gien constitute an architectural complex located in this town of the Centre-Val de Loire. Their presence attests to the town's typical urban planning and habitat, although their precise construction period is not documented in available sources.

Such buildings, often intended for housing or commerce, reflect the needs of a local population whose activities revolved around handicrafts, river trade and faience production, for which Gien is renowned.
