Origin and history

The building located at 20 rue Jeanne-d This regulation has imposed uniformity of heights (aligned cornices) and levels (standardized floor strips), while allowing for a diversity of facades. The objective was to create a visual harmony highlighting the neighbouring cathedral, a central element of the Orléan urban landscape.

The protection of this building, by order of 23 January 1945, specifically concerns its facade and roof. This measure is part of a desire to preserve the architectural heritage of Reconstruction or earlier periods, in a city marked by its medieval history and destruction during world conflicts. The Jeanne-d-Arc street, a symbolic artery, thus concentrates buildings reflecting rigorous urban planning.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, highlight the precise address (Insee code 45234) and an approximate GPS location, classified as "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on its current use (visit, accommodation) or its historic owner, but its registration as Historic Monuments makes it a significant heritage element of the city of Orleans.
