Origin and history
Le logis de la Cuche is a house in Brion, in the department of Maine-et-Loire, in the region of Pays de la Loire. This monument, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, is representative of the residential architecture of this period in Anjou. It is distinguished by its facades, roofs, entrance gate and vaulted cellars, which have been protected since its inscription to historical monuments in 1987.
The building is part of a historical context marked by the transition between Renaissance and modern times. At that time, the seigneurial or bourgeois houses played a central role in the social and economic organization of the Angevin countryside. They often served as residences for wealthy families, while symbolizing their status in the local community. Although the sources do not mention specific characters or events related to this house, its architecture reflects the stylistic influences and construction techniques of its time.
Today, the home of the Cuche is listed in the Merimée base and is one of the historical monuments of Maine-et-Loire. Its exact address, according to the available data, is located in Brion, in the municipality of Bois d'Anjou. Practical information about his visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not specified in the sources consulted.
