Origin and history

The house in Auray, Morbihan, is a building dating from the 1st quarter of the 17th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in Brittany, marked by characteristic facades and roofs. This monument was included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 17 April 1931, specifically protecting its facade and roof.

Auray, a port town in Brittany, was at that time a dynamic economic centre, thanks in particular to maritime trade. The houses of this period often reflect the prosperity of local merchants and artisans. Their architecture, combining Breton tradition and external influences, testify to the urban and social evolution of the region.

The location of this house at 22-28 rue Vannier (formerly rue Pavée) is attested in the Mérimée base. Although information on its original use is scarce, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. Available data from Monumentum indicate a location accuracy considered "a priori satisfactory".

No information is provided on opening to the public, possible room rental or services such as guest rooms. The sources are limited to architectural and administrative descriptions, without mentioning anecdotes or historical characters related to this monument.
