Origin and history

The house at 10 rue d'Orléans in Saint-Malo is a building built during the 1st quarter of the 18th century. It is representative of the domestic architecture of the corsair city, marked by its intense maritime activity. Classified as a Historic Monument, it illustrates the heritage associated with the golden age of the Malouin race, when the city was a landmark for navigators and shipowners engaged in trade or racing war.

The building is particularly remarkable for its facades, protected by an inscription order dated February 14, 1946. This protection highlights its heritage importance in the urban landscape of Saint-Malo, a fortified city whose history is closely linked to the sea. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the sources, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a privileged witness to local history.

The location of the house, at the corner of the old streets of Orleans and Dinan, highlights its integration into the historical fabric of Saint-Malo. The available coordinates, although of an accuracy considered "passable" (level 5/10), allow to situate it in the city centre, close to the ramparts and the port. This position reinforces its link with the corsair activity, dominant in the region in the eighteenth century.
