Origin and history

The house at 7 rue d'Orléans in Saint-Malo is a historic monument dating from the 18th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the corsair city, with protected elements such as its facades, roofs, skylights and chimney stumps. The building was registered by ministerial decree on January 31, 1942, emphasizing its heritage importance.

An ancient property linked to corsair activity, this house illustrates the economic and strategic role of Saint-Malo during the 18th century. The city, then prosperous thanks to maritime commerce and racing, had many similar houses housing shipowners or captains. Engineer Garengeau, mentioned as the prime contractor, may have contributed to his design, although his exact involvement is not detailed in the available sources.

Location data indicate average accuracy (level 5/10), with an address confirmed by the Merimée database and approximate GPS coordinates. The house, although protected, does not have public information about its current accessibility (visits, rentals, accommodation).
