Origin and history

The house at 24 rue Saint-François in Quimper is an example of civil architecture in the first half of the seventeenth century. It is distinguished by its wooden façade and its crepassing on lattis, characteristic of the Breton urban buildings of this period. This type of house, integrated with the old fabric of the city, reflects local craftsmanship and traditional construction techniques.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was partially protected by decree of 22 May 1956, specifically covering its street façade and the corresponding roof slope. Its location in the historic district of Quimper, a city marked by its medieval and reborn heritage, underlines its importance in preserving the architectural identity of Brittany. The approximate location, indicated by both the official address and GPS coordinates, suggests integration into a dense urban environment.

The information available, mainly from the Merimée base and Monumentum, highlights its status as a protected monument without specifying its current use (visit, rental, or private residence). The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair, which may reflect the challenges of geolocation in old city centres with narrow and winding alleys.
