Origin and history

The house at 23 rue Napoléon on Aix Island is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its inscription, dated May 5, 1931, specifically concerns the facade and roof, architectural elements considered remarkable. This building illustrates the built heritage of this island of Charente-Maritime, marked by its military and maritime history.

The Île-d'Aix, administratively attached to the commune of Charente-Maritime (Department 17) in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, is an island territory with a strategic past. Houses like this, often linked to 19th-century urban planning or Napoleonic periods, reflect the adaptation of civil architecture to an island and military context. Their preservation contributes to the collective memory of the island, where port activities, coastal defence and local life have intertwined.

The precise location of this monument, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the databases, corresponds to the official address recorded in the Merimée database. No additional information is available on its current use, whether it is a public opening, rental or residential function.
