Origin and history

The house at 30 Marchande Street in Saint-Flour is a typical example of 17th-century civil architecture. This building, whose construction dates back to this period, is distinguished by its door windows, characteristic of bourgeois or artisanal houses of the period. Its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments, by order of 14 October 1946, specifically concerns the facade and roof, highlighting their heritage value and their remarkable state of conservation for this period.

Saint-Flour, a town in the Cantal department in Auvergne, was in modern times an important commercial and religious crossroads. Houses like Marchande Street reflect the urban boom in the region, marked by the development of artisanal and commercial activities. These buildings often served as a place of life and work for bourgeois families or artisans, playing a central role in the economic and social life of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the architectural and urban evolution of Saint-Flour throughout the centuries.

The accuracy of the location of this monument is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), indicating relative uncertainty as to its exact location in the geographic databases. Despite this, the official address recorded in the Merimée base (33 Marchande Street) and the GPS coordinates available make it possible to clearly identify the building. The protected elements, namely the façade and the roof, bear witness to the importance attached to the conservation of the built heritage of that time in Auvergne.
