Origin and history

The house at 82 rue Georges-Clemenceau in Marennes is a civil building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. It is distinguished by its body of houses raised on a ground floor and a floor, accessible by a staircase whose octagonal cage, protruding, marks an architectural singularity. The entrance courtyard, protected by a gate, precedes the construction, while the old windows have been preserved, testifying to its historical authenticity.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 4 February 1927, this house illustrates the Renaissance residential heritage in New Aquitaine. Its inscription reflects its heritage value, particularly for its intact structural elements, such as the stairwell and bay layout. The location, in the present Charente-Maritime (formerly Poitou-Charentes), emphasizes its anchoring in a territory marked by a rich urban and commercial history, especially linked to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean.

Available sources, including the Merimée database and Monumentum data, confirm its exact address and its Insee code (17219), attached to the municipality of Marennes. Although the accuracy of its geographical location is considered fair (note 5/10), its identification remains clear thanks to administrative references and photographs licensed under Creative Commons, such as that of Serge Lacotte. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, accommodation).
