Origin and history

The house at 30 Beaudrairie Street in Vitré, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a civil building dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. This monument illustrates the Breton urban architecture of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a period marked by economic growth and a transformation of the city centres. His inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 5 November 1926 specifically concerns the facade and roof, characteristic elements of his style.

Vitré, a fortified and dynamic city at the time, was an important commercial hub in Brittany. Houses like this often served as housing for merchants or artisans, reflecting local prosperity. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and economic organization of Breton cities between the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern era. The precise location of this monument, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), remains a tangible testimony of this heritage.
