Origin and history

The buildings at 22-24 rue des Bons-Enfants in Rouen are an architectural heritage of the city. Their location in the historic centre of Rouen, a city marked by its medieval past and its urban development, makes it silent witnesses to the evolution of the city. No specific information is available on their date of construction or initial use.

Rouen, in Normandy, has always been an economic and cultural crossroads. The buildings of that time, often constructed of wood or stone, served both as dwellings, shops and workshops. Their presence in the urban fabric reflects the social organization and the artisanal or commercial activities that animated the city throughout the centuries.
