Origin and history

The house located at 17 rue de Paris in Vitré is a 17th century building, representative of the Breton architectural heritage of this period. It is distinguished by its facade on street and roof, protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments in 1966. These elements, characteristic of the urban buildings of the time, reflect the evolution of construction techniques and decorative styles in Ille-et-Vilaine.

The classification of this house is part of a process of preserving the built heritage of Vitré, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn past. Although available sources do not specify its original use, this type of house could house bourgeois families, artisans or traders, reflecting the social and economic diversity of the city in the 17th century. The location of the building in a central street suggests its integration into the active urban fabric of the time.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of the location is considered passable (note 5/10), and that the corresponding address is confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates. No information is provided on public access, any visit, or contemporary use as a guest room or rental room. The protection relates specifically to the façade and roof, as specified in the 1966 decree.
