Origin and history

The house at 3 rue Bourbonnoux in Bourges is a 16th century building. It is classified as Monument Historique, with a specific protection for its facade and roof on street, registered by decree of 10 January 1928. This building illustrates Renaissance civil architecture in a then prosperous city, marked by its political and economic role in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

The location of this monument, although documented, remains approximated according to available sources, with an accuracy considered fair (note of 5/10). The exact address mentioned in the Merimée base is 3 rue Bourbonnoux, although another GPS source indicates the 7 bis of the same street. This type of house reflects the urban planning and bourgeois lifestyles of the time, in a booming city.

No additional information is available about the sponsors, historic occupants or the precise uses of this building over the centuries. The data are limited to its protection status and location, without details of its specific social or architectural history.

The house does not appear to be open to visit according to current practical information, and its contemporary use (residential, commercial or other) is not specified in the sources consulted. The Creative Commons license associated with the photos suggests accessible visual documentation, but without detailed technical or artistic description.

The department of Cher, where Bourges is located, is identified by the code Insee 18033, confirming the administrative anchoring of this monument in the region Centre-Val de Loire. The sources cited (Monumentum, Mérimée base) do not provide any significant anecdotes or events related to this house, limiting the knowledge of its history to its legal and geographical framework.

The protection of 1928 underscores the heritage importance of this facade and roof, typical of the urban buildings of the French Renaissance. However, the lack of details on subsequent materials, decorations or transformations does not allow for further architectural or historical analysis.
