Origin and history

The house at 25 rue Napoléon on Aix Island is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its inscription, dated 5 May 1931, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered remarkable. This building illustrates the built heritage of this island, marked by its maritime and strategic history.

The Île-d'Aix, part of the department of Charente-Maritime (New Aquitaine region), is an island territory whose urban planning reflects both its isolation and its historical role. Traditional homes, such as this one, reflect local lifestyles, often linked to fishing, maritime trade or coastal defence. This type of monument contributes to the collective memory of the island, where civil architecture stands alongside larger military remains.
