Origin and history

The house located at 21 rue Royale in Orléans is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its classification specifically concerns the facade and roof, protected by ministerial decree since 12 July 1928. Although the architectural details or its precise history are not explicitly described in the available sources, this protection reflects its historic interest in downtown Orleans, a town marked by a rich historical and urban past.

In the Centre-Val de Loire region, and especially in Orléans, old houses like this often reflect the architectural and social evolution of cities over the centuries. In modern times, these buildings were generally used as dwellings for the bourgeois or merchant classes, thus participating in local economic and cultural life. Their preservation makes it possible today to maintain a material testimony of lifestyles and construction techniques of the past, while integrating these elements into the contemporary urban landscape.
