Origin and history

This building, located at 15bis rue des Grands-Degrés (formerly Grands-Degrés) in Saint-Malo, dates from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. It is integrated into the city's early enclosure, thus demonstrating its role in the urban and defensive history of the private city. Its facade and roof, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 17 February 1950, illustrate the civil architecture of this period.

The location of the building, close to the ramparts, suggests a strategic or residential importance in the Saint Malo d'Ancien Régime. The Rue des Grands-Degrés, typical of the intramural network, reflects the dense and fortified organization of the city, marked by its port and commercial activity. The inscription in the title of Historical Monuments underscores the heritage value of this building, representative of the malouin building of the early eighteenth century.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, indicate that the exact address (15bis rue des Grands-Degrés) corresponds to the AB 325 cadastre. Although the practical information about his visit or current use is not detailed, his protected status guarantees the preservation of his most remarkable architectural elements: facade and roof.
