Origin and history

The house at 29 rue Beaudrairie in Vitré is a civil building dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. It illustrates the domestic architecture of this period in Brittany, with characteristic elements such as its facade and roof, protected by a decree of inscription in 1926. This type of building reflects the urban development of Vitré, a prosperous city in the Middle Ages thanks to its commercial and strategic role in Ille-et-Vilaine.

Medieval houses like this often served as housing for merchants or artisans, participating in local economic life. Their preservation now allows us to understand the social and architectural organization of the Breton cities between the 15th and 16th centuries, an era marked by the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The location of this house, in the historic centre of Vitré, underlines its importance in the urban fabric then. Although the available sources do not specify its exact use or ownership, its listing as Historic Monuments reflects its heritage value. Current data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate a location accuracy considered fair (note of 5/10), without further details on its accessibility or current state.

The 1926 protection specifically concerns the facade and roof, architectural elements often highlighted for their stylistic representativeness. No information is available on any interior developments or historical characters related to this site. The house remains a silent but eloquent testimony of Breton urban history.

The sources mention a confirmed address (29 rue Beaudrairie) and an Insee code associated with Vitré in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine (35), in the Brittany region. No detailed photo or archive is directly attached to the data consulted, although a Creative Commons license is mentioned for an associated image.

Finally, the absence of details on contemporary visits or uses (rentals, guest rooms) suggests that this monument is above all preserved for its historical and architectural value, without explicitly documented tourist vocation.
