Origin and history

The house located at 62 rue de la Bretonnerie in Orléans is an emblematic 16th-century building whose heritage value lies in part in the reuse of Renaissance fragments. These elements come from the demolition of old houses, incorporated here as building materials for the ground floor. This process, common at the time, illustrates the practices of building recovery and transformation in cities undergoing urban change.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house owes its protection to its facade on street, inscribed by ministerial decree on December 11, 1925. The protection specifically concerns the lower part, up to the support of the windows on the first floor, stressing the architectural importance of these elements. The precise address, confirmed by the Mérimée and INSEE bases, is located in the Loiret department (45), in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

The location of the house, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), allows to situate it with relative precision in the urban fabric of Orleans. Although the practical information about his visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not detailed, his status as a Historic Monument makes him a privileged witness of local architectural history. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its heritage interest without providing anecdotes or details about potential owners or artisans involved in its construction.
