Origin and history

The house in Sezanne, in the Great East, is a civil building built during the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building, typical of the residential architecture of the period, is distinguished by its partial inscription to the Historical Monuments, specifically covering its facades and roofs. These elements, protected by order of October 9, 1979, bear witness to the heritage value of this construction, although its detailed history remains partially documented.

One of the highlights associated with this house was its connection with Napoleon I, who was there three times in 1814. These visits, while brief, give the building a national historic dimension, linking it directly to a key episode in French history: the French campaign. The precise location of the house, in 3 Place du Champ-Benoist, as well as its state of conservation, assessed as poor in terms of cartographic accuracy, make it a monument both accessible and unknown.

On the administrative level, the house is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 51535, attached to the commune of Sezanne in the department of Marne. Although practical information such as its openness to the public or its current uses (rental, visit) is not specified, its protection under the Historic Monuments makes it an important part of the local heritage. The Creative Commons license associated with his photograph suggests a desire to broadcast his image, despite a GPS location that is considered to be unclear (level 5/10).
