Origin and history

The house at 40 Carnot Street in Mâcon is a 16th century home. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, although precise stylistic details are not documented in available sources. Its most remarkable element is its door to the street, which motivated its inscription in historical monuments.

The official inscription of the house for historical monuments took place on 27 January 1928. This protection specifically concerns the street door, highlighting its heritage interest. Sources mention a discrepancy between addresses (10 or 40 Carnot Street), possibly reflecting urban developments or transcription errors in databases.

In the modern era, Mâcon was a dynamic city of Burgundy, marked by a flourishing trade, especially wine-growing, and an expanding urban bourgeoisie. The houses of this period, like Carnot Street, often illustrated the social status of their owners. Their preservation today offers a tangible testimony to the architectural and social history of the region.
