Origin and history

The Jourdan houses are civilian buildings located in the medieval village of Peruges, in the department of Ain. Built in the 15th century, they illustrate the typical domestic architecture of this period in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Their preservation offers a tangible testimony to the lifestyles and construction techniques of the time.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 19 April 1937, these houses enjoy heritage protection for their facade and roof. Their precise location, at 5219 Rue des Rondes, and their management by an association underline their cultural and tourist importance. They are part of a wider architectural complex, characteristic of the fortified villages of the region.

Their status as a Historical Monument, combined with their integration into the Merimée base, reinforces their documentary and historical value. Although their current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not explicitly detailed in the sources, their presence in specialized databases such as Mérimée and Monumentum confirms their institutional recognition.
