Origin and history

The buildings at numbers 3 and 5 of Bossuet Street in Nantes date from the 15th century. Their construction is part of the medieval architectural context of the city, marked by facades typical of this period. These buildings, still standing today, testify to the period's Nantes urban planning, where stone or half-timbered houses bordered the narrow streets of the historic centre.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 15 May 1954, these buildings saw their facades on street protected for their heritage value. The 1954 decision reflects the growing interest in preserving the old post-war building in a France committed to preserving its architectural heritage. Their precise location, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, makes them tangible landmarks of the urban history of Nantes.

Bossuet Street, where these buildings are located, is characteristic of the city centre, with a route inherited from the Middle Ages. Their inscription concerns only facades, stressing the importance attached to the exterior aesthetics in the criteria of monumental protection. No information is available on any owners or artisans who have participated in their construction or on their original use (housing, commerce, etc.).
