Origin and history

The houses at numbers 13 and 15 of Rue du Châtelet in Chalon-sur-Saône date from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. They represent a civil architectural heritage typical of this period, marked by facades and roofs that were protected by a decree of inscription under the Historical Monuments on 27 September 1948. Their precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), remains a point of interest for the study of the Chalonese urban planning of the time.

These houses are part of the broader context of the Burgundy of the eighteenth century, a region where economic and cultural growth favoured the construction of bourgeois or artisanal residences. In Chalon-sur-Saône, a strategic city on the Saône, these houses reflect local social and economic dynamics, including river trade and viticulture activities. Their preservation reflects the importance attached to this heritage by the authorities since the mid-20th century.

The information available, mainly from the Merimée base and Monumentum, highlights their heritage value without providing details about their historical occupants or their precise use. Their exact address, confirmed by GPS coordinates, corresponds to Rue du Châtelet, a probably central axis in the urban life of the time. No mention is made of an opening to the public or of a current tourist vocation.
