Timeline

Origin and history

The buildings at 34-36 Arsène-Orillard Street in Poitiers are an 18th-century architectural example in the city centre. Their protection under the Historical Monuments, effective since 1969, specifically concerns the facades on street and garden, as well as the corresponding roofs. These elements, inscribed by ministerial decree, demonstrate the heritage importance of this urban area, although their exact location is considered "fair" according to the criteria of geolocalized accuracy.

The Arsène-Orillard street, integrated into the historical fabric of Poitiers (the Vienna department, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region), reflects the urban transformations of past centuries. The partial classification of these buildings, identified under the cadastral reference BP 152, underlines their aesthetic and historical value, without the available sources specifying their original use or sponsor. Their preservation is part of a broader approach to safeguarding the poitevin built heritage, marked by regional architectural influences.

Current data, notably from the Mérimée database and the Monumentum platform, indicate an official administrative address (34 Arsène-Orillard Street) slightly distinct from the approximate GPS location (28 Arsène-Orillard Street). This minor disparity illustrates the challenges of heritage mapping, while the lack of information on accessibility or contemporary uses (visits, accommodation) limits the knowledge of their current role in local life.
