Origin and history

The house located at 18 Marchande Street in Saint-Flour is a 16th century civil building, representative of Renaissance domestic architecture. It consists of two floors and twin galetas, with sling windows, characteristic of this period. A wrought iron balcony adorns one of its ends, adding a decorative and functional touch to the facade.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house was partially protected by order of 23 October 1946, specifically covering its façade and roof. This type of building illustrates the urban development of Saint-Flour in the modern era, where the bourgeois or merchant houses reflected the economic prosperity of the city, particularly related to trade and crafts.

The information available indicates an approximate location at the current address of 14 or 18 rue Marchande, in the department of Cantal (region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). The accuracy of this location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory", depending on the sources consulted. No information is provided on its access to the public or its contemporary use (visit, rental, etc.).
