The Quai Sainte-Catherine, where this house is located, is an emblematic place of Honfleur, a historic port town in Normandy. In the 16th century, this region was marked by intense maritime and commercial activity, with flourishing exchanges between France, England and other parts of Europe. The houses of that time, like this one, often served as houses for merchants, sailors or artisans, reflecting the economic prosperity of the city.

The inscription of the facades and roofs of this house in 1933 underscores its architectural and historical interest. This type of protection aims to preserve the most representative elements of the built heritage, in order to convey to future generations a tangible testimony of local history. Honfleur, with its Old Basin and its many listed monuments, remains a remarkable example of the medieval heritage and reborn in Normandy.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that this house is a key part of Honfleur's heritage. Its exact address, formerly numbered 57, has been specified in the archives, and its current location is well documented. Despite the geographical accuracy considered average (level 5 out of 10), its location on the Sainte-Catherine wharf makes it a point of interest for visitors and historians.
