Origin and history

The house located at 24 Marengo Street on Aix Island is a monument listed in the Historical Monuments Inventory. Its inscription, dated 5 May 1931, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered remarkable. The building is in an island context marked by a military and maritime history, with the island playing a strategic role in defending the Atlantic coast.

The Île-d'Aix, attached to the commune of Charente-Maritime in New Aquitaine, is a small but densely heritaged territory. Local constructions, often seemingly modest, reflect traditional lifestyles related to fishing, maritime trade and military presence. This house, although little documented in the available sources, is part of this historic landscape where civil architecture stands alongside forts and coastal batteries.

No additional information is provided on its exact origin, owners or initial use.
