Origin and history

The building at 6 rue d'Alsace in Béziers is designated as Jean Moulin's "home". This ordinary building in the city centre houses the apartment on the third left floor where Jean Moulin was born and grew up during his childhood and adolescence. The inscription of this place in the Historical Monuments, intervened by decree of 2 October 2017, specifically concerns this apartment as well as the facades and roofs of the building.

The heritage protection of this building underlines its symbolic importance linked to the memory of Jean Moulin, a major figure of the French Resistance. Although the source text does not specify the construction period of the building, its architecture and location reflect the urban setting of Béziers at the turn of the 20th century. The house, owned by the commune, remains a concrete testimony of the first years of life of this historical character.

The available administrative and geographical coordinates indicate that the building is located in the Herault department in the Occitan region. The official address registered in the Mérimée base confirms its anchoring in the city centre of Béziers, near the Place des Casernes. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "passible", suggesting a clear but perfectable site identification.
