Origin and history

The house located at 34 Marengo Street on Aix Island is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 5 May 1931, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered representative of the local heritage. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée and GPS bases, places this building in the heart of the island, in a historical environment marked by its geographical isolation and its past strategic role.

The Île-d'Aix, part of the department of Charente-Maritime (New Aquitaine region), has a rich heritage linked to its maritime and military history. Old houses, such as Marengo Street, often reflect 18th and 19th century civil architecture, when the island was a place of life for military, fishermen and artisans. Although the sources do not specify the exact time of construction of this house, its classification suggests a recognized heritage value, typical of buildings preserved for their authenticity and contribution to local identity.
