Origin and history

The houses at numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Rue Saint-Philippe in Saint-Malo constitute a monument located in this historic port city. Their exact period of construction or historic significance is not specified in the available sources, but their consolidation suggests a notable architectural or urban unit in this malouin district. Saint-Malo, a fortified town of Brittany, has had a rich maritime history, marked by fishing, commerce and privateership.

Traditional houses, often granite, reflect this past with narrow facades and slate roofs. These residential complexes played a central role in everyday life, sheltering artisans, merchants or mariners, and contributing to the social and economic structure of the city.
