Origin and history

The Hotel Cabu, located in Orléans in the Loiret department (Centre-Val de Loire region), is an emblematic building from the mid-16th century. Ranked a Historical Monument in 1875, it illustrates the civil architecture of the French Renaissance. Its official address, 22 rue Charles-Sanglier, makes it a heritage landmark in the heart of the city, although GPS coordinates suggest a location close to Rue Isabelle Romée.

This building, owned by the commune of Orléans, was preserved for its historical and architectural interest. Today it houses the Hotel Cabu, museum of history and archaeology, testifying to its contemporary cultural role. The accuracy of its location is considered "satisfactory" (note 7/10), and photographs licensed under Creative Commons, such as Croquant's, document its current appearance. Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its protected status and its integration into the local heritage.

The 1875 ranking underscores the early importance attached to this monument, reflecting the 19th century preservation efforts. Although the details of its first occupants or its original function are not explicitly mentioned in the sources, its association with a municipal museum strengthens its anchor in the Orlean collective memory. The duality between its administrative address and GPS location reveals the challenges of mapping old buildings in modern urban fabrics.
