Origin and history

The Houses located at 99 and 101 Malpalu Street in Rouen constitute an architectural complex registered under the title of Historical Monuments. Their protection, effective since a decree of 30 April 1956, specifically concerns facades on street and roof slopes. These elements demonstrate a representative style of Rouen urban planning, although their exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources.

Rouen, the emblematic city of Normandy, experienced urbanization marked by medieval and industrial influences. The houses on Malpalu Street are part of this context, illustrating the evolution of bourgeois or artisanal dwellings between the 19th and 20th centuries. Their location in the city centre, near the former trading districts, suggests a link with local economic activities, although the archives do not detail their original use.

The accuracy of their geographical location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), and their official address, recorded in the Merimée base, confirms their anchoring in the historical district of Rouen. No information is available on their current accessibility, whether they are visits, rentals or accommodation. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives, without reference to events or characters associated with these houses.
