Origin and history

The house located at 15 rue de Paris in Vitré, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its classification specifically concerns facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree since 1942. This building, although little documented in available sources, bears witness to the civil architecture of the city at the beginning of the twentieth century, a period marked by a transition between local traditions and modern influences.

Vitré, a Breton city with a rich medieval and reborn past, has seen a gradual urban evolution over the centuries. Bourgeois houses like this often reflect the economic and social development of the region, especially through trade and crafts. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of the time, while integrating the historical urban fabric still visible in the city centre.
