Peruges, a medieval village known for its paved streets and stone houses, has long been a place of passage and commerce between Lyon and Geneva. Buildings such as the Falconnet House reflect the urban and social organization of the time, where the houses served as housing, workshops and trading venues.

This status protects its architectural features, including its original structure and elements, while integrating it into the network of French historical monuments. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its precise address: 1 Rue des Princes, in Peruges.

Although details about its specific history or past occupants are scarce, Falconnet remains a testament to the urban and architectural evolution of the region.
