Origin and history

The building located at 834 rue Nationale in Villefranche-sur-Saône is a historical monument whose protection concerns specifically two bas-reliefs. These carved elements bear the arms of the Bourbon and Bourbon-Montpensier families, testifying to a link with these aristocratic lines. The listing of Historical Monuments dates from 7 June 1926, by ministerial order.

The location of the building, in the city centre of Villefranche-sur-Saône, corresponds to a historic urban area of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The building, although little documented in the available sources, illustrates local civil architecture and its integration into the urban fabric. National Street, a major artery, reflects the commercial and social importance of the city throughout the eras.

The available data do not specify the period of construction of the building or its original use. However, the presence of seigneurial weapons suggests a construction or renovation linked to a period when these families exercised local influence, probably between the 15th and 17th centuries. The lack of additional details limits the understanding of its exact role in urban history.
