Facade and roof: inscription by decree of 5 May 1931

Origin and history

The house located at 7bis rue Napoléon on Aix Island is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its architecture, although little documented in the available sources, has had a facade and roof protected by ministerial decree since 5 May 1931. This ranking reflects his heritage interest, probably linked to his local style or history, in an island context marked by a military and strategic past.

It is part of the commune of Charente-Maritime in New Aquitaine and is a small area with a rich heritage. Old houses, like this one, are part of an urban landscape shaped by centuries of maritime, military and artisanal activities. Although the details of its origin or occupants are lacking, this type of building often reflects the way of life of the islanders, between fishing, trade and military presence, especially in the nineteenth century.

The protection of its facade suggests a particular aesthetic or historical value, without the accessible archives specifying its exact role in local history.
