Origin and history

The house of Bocquilot Street in Avallon is a 15th century civil building, typical of Burgundian medieval architecture. Located at 6 Bocquilot Street, it was listed as a Historic Monument by ministerial decree on January 19, 1927, recognizing its heritage value. This building illustrates the residential style of the period, marked by local construction techniques and a spatial organization adapted to urban needs.

The location of this house, in the historic centre of Avallon, reflects the importance of this city in the Middle Ages, then integrated into the Duchy of Burgundy. The houses of this period often served as housing for local artisans, merchants or notables, participating in the economic and social life of the city. Their preservation now allows us to study the lifestyles and architectural know-how of the time.

The house is currently owned by the municipality of Avallon, but the available information does not specify whether it is open to the public or reassigned to a specific use (rent, visit, etc.). Its GPS location and address are documented in the Merimée database, with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10).
