Façade and roof on street (cad. AI 103): inscription by decree of 8 November 1972

Origin and history

The house located in Tonnerre, in the department of Yonne in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is an 18th-century building. This monument is included in the inventory of Historic Monuments, especially for its remarkable architectural elements: the facade and the roof on street. These protections were formalized by an order dated November 8, 1972, thus highlighting its heritage interest.

In the 18th century, Tonnerre, like many cities of Burgundy, was marked by a civil architecture reflecting the stylistic influences of the time. Bourgeois houses, often built of stone, played a central role in urban life, housing wealthy families or artisans. Their preservation today makes it possible to understand the evolution of the construction techniques and lifestyles of this period.

The precise address of this monument, according to Merimée data, is 12 and 12 bis rue du Pont. A second approximate location from GPS coordinates indicates 15 rue du Pont. These differences can be explained by urban developments or geolocation errors. The accuracy of this location is considered fair, with a score of 5 out of 10, which can complicate its exact identification for visitors.

Available sources, such as Monumentum, mention that this house is one of the buildings protected for its historical and architectural value. However, no information is provided on its accessibility to the public, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation in guest rooms. These practical elements therefore remain unknown to date.
