Origin and history

The log house on Rue des Cuisiniers is a medieval building located in the heart of Bayeux, Normandy. This building, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, is distinguished by its wood-paned structure, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It occupies a strategic location, at the corner of Rue Saint-Martin and Rue des Cuisiniers, north of Bayeux Cathedral. Its main body is 7.4 metres long, 3.5 metres wide and 13 metres high on the gable side.

Over the centuries, this house has housed various activities: a shop, an inn, and the Le Loge restaurant on foot until the beginning of the 20th century. At the end of the 20th century, it hosted the Bayeux Tourist Office. The monument was classified as historical monuments by two decrees, the first dated February 22, 1924 and the second dated March 27, 1941. Today it belongs to the municipality of Bayeux.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its heritage importance. The house is located on 3 rue des Cuisiniers, although some geographical data indicate an approximate address at 1 rue des Cuisiniers. Its location is considered satisfactory a priori, with a map accuracy noted 6/10. The building illustrates the evolution of urban uses in a medieval Norman city, while maintaining remarkable architectural features.
