Origin and history

The building located at 87 rue du Palais-Gallien in Bordeaux is a historic monument dating from the 18th century, representative of the civil architecture of the Louis XVI period. It is distinguished by its facade on street decorated with sculptures and its facade on garden decorated with attributes related to gardening (watering, rateau, shovel), surrounded by floral and vegetal motifs. The building, built on vaulted cellars, has two floors and four facade openings, although its interior layouts have been partially modified over time.

Inside, the building retains original elements, including two 18th-century chimneys and woodwork typical of this period. The official protection covers the street façade and the corresponding roof, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 24 June 1963. This building illustrates the refinement of Bordeaux bourgeois housing under the Old Regime, combining functionality and neat decoration.

The location of the building in the historic Bordeaux district reinforces its heritage interest. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visit, rental, private residence), its state of conservation and architectural details make it a remarkable testimony to the 18th century urban heritage in New Aquitaine. The accuracy of its geographic location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), based on available data.
