Origin and history

The house at 2 quai Maréchal-Foch in La Charité-sur-Loire is an 18th-century building. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with facades and roofs on street which were protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments on 13 October 1971. This classification refers specifically to elements visible from the highway, reflecting the heritage importance of this building in the city's urban landscape.

The location of this house, on the banks of the Loire River, is part of a historical context where La Charité-sur-Loire played a strategic and commercial role. In the 18th century, bourgeois or merchant houses of this type were often built near rivers, thus facilitating trade and commerce. Their preservation today reflects the architectural and social evolution of the region, marked by a period of relative prosperity before the upheavals of the Industrial Revolution.

The information available indicates that the accuracy of the location of this monument is considered "a priori satisfactory", with an address confirmed in the Merimée base. Visual data, such as Creative Commons licensed photographs, help document its current state. However, little detail is provided on its past or present use, if it could be potentially open to visit or offer services such as guest rooms, although this is not explicitly confirmed in the sources consulted.
