Origin and history

The house located at 7 rue de Paris in Vitré is a 15th century civil building, typical of Breton urban architecture of this time. Its inscription as Historic Monument in 1966 specifically concerns the street façade and the corresponding roof, highlighting its heritage interest. The protected elements, referenced under the K1 140 cadastre, illustrate the construction techniques and decorative styles in effect in the late Middle Ages in this fortified city.

Vitré, located in Ille-et-Vilaine, was at this time a commercial and strategic crossroads in Brittany. Medieval houses like this often served as housing for merchants or artisans, reflecting the economic prosperity of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and urban organization of the period, as well as the role of the towns in the regional economic network.

The location of the house, specified by its address and Insee code (35360), is considered "passable" in terms of geographical reliability according to the available data. No information is provided on its current accessibility or contemporary use, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
