Origin and history
Olivier Le Daim's house, also known as the May House in the Mérimée base, is located in Belley, at the intersection of Rue des Cordeliers and Rue Saint-Jean. This building owes its name to the local tradition of welcoming Olivier Le Daim, a close adviser to King Louis XI. Although this assignment remains uncertain, it reflects the historical importance that the people attach to this site.
The house has been classified as historic monuments since 1971, which underscores its heritage value. It is located in the department of Ain, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and illustrates the civil architecture of the city of Belley. Its official inscription preserves this heritage, while providing an overview of local urban history.
The monument is referenced in architectural databases such as Mérimée, which facilitates its study and development. Although the sources do not specify its exact period of construction, its association with Olivier Le Daim, a controversial figure in the courtyard of Louis XI, adds an intriguing historical dimension to this emblematic building of Belley.
