Origin and history

The house located in Tournus, in the department of Saône-et-Loire in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a historical monument whose protection is specific to the facade and roof. These architectural elements were classified by ministerial decree on 9 July 1927, highlighting their heritage value. The building is located at 4 rue du Midi, although approximate GPS coordinates also place it near rue Désiré Mathivet, reflecting an impreciseness in the available geographical data.

Houses of this type, typical of Burgundy urban centres, often played a central role in the daily life of medieval and modern cities. In Tournus, a city marked by its abbey and commercial past, these houses reflected the prosperity of local merchants or artisans. Their preservation, like that of this house, allows to understand the evolution of construction techniques and lifestyles in Burgundy throughout the centuries.
