Origin and history

The building located at the 60 aisle of Tourny in Bordeaux is an emblematic 18th century building, whose ground floor and first floor date back to the original ordinance of the Place and the Aisles of Tourny. This monument illustrates Bordeaux's classic architecture, marked by a base treatment with large bossed arcades and carved keys, framing the bays between the ground. These elements reflect the influence of urban developments of the time, designed to structure and enhance public space.

The upper floors, modified at the beginning of the 19th century, have a corinthian pilaster order surmounted by a cornice. The Mansart attic, adorned with carved keystone dots and rounded pediments, bears witness to a posterior stylistic evolution. These architectural changes are part of a period of renovation and adaptation of existing buildings, typical of Bordeaux urban dynamics between the 18th and 19th centuries.

The facades and roofs of the building were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 9 September 1965, thus recognizing their heritage value. The building, located at a prestigious address between the Tourny driveway and the Rue Condillac, embodies the architectural prestige of Bordeaux, between heritage of the Lights and subsequent adaptations. Its state of conservation and its location make it a key witness to the city's urban history.
