Origin and history

The house located in Tonnerre, in the department of Yonne in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is an 18th-century building. It is classified as a Historic Monument, with a specific protection covering its façade and roof on street, according to an inscription order dated 8 November 1972. This type of building reflects the civil architecture of this period, marked by local influences and local construction techniques.

In the 18th century, Tonnerre was a dynamic city, integrated into an active economic and social network in Burgundy. Bourgeois houses, like this one, testify to the prosperity of some local families, often linked to trade, crafts or administration. These homes played a central role in urban life, serving both as a residence and sometimes as a place of work.

Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the evolution of the architectural heritage and lifestyle of the era.
