Origin and history

The house at 9 rue de Paris in Vitré is a 15th-century civil building, typical of the Breton urban architecture of that time. Its inscription as Monument Historique in 1966 specifically concerns the facade on street and the corresponding roof, highlighting its heritage interest in the conservation of the medieval building.

In Vitré, a fortified town in Brittany, the 15th century houses reflect a period of prosperity linked to trade and crafts. These houses, often made of wood or stone, served as both a dwelling and a professional space for local merchants or artisans. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and economic organization of Breton cities in the Middle Ages.

The location of this house, specified as "passable" (note 5/10) in the databases, corresponds to the official address recorded in the Merimée database. Its current status and use (visit, rental, or otherwise) are not detailed in the available sources, but its listing under the Historical Monuments guarantees its legal protection.
