Origin and history
Logis Tiphaine, also called Logis Tiphaine de Raguenel or Maison Du Guesclin, is an iconic monument located at Mont-Saint-Michel, in the Manche department in Normandy. Built in 1365, this building would have welcomed Bertrand Du Guesclin, then captain of Pontorson and Mont-Saint-Michel, as well as his wife, astrologer Tiphaine Raguenel. Its architecture and history make it a site marked by the Middle Ages and the military figures of the time.
The house underwent restorations and alterations in the 19th century, which allowed its preservation until today. Since 1928, its facades and roofs have been protected as historical monuments. Currently, the house belongs to the group La Mère Poulard, known for its hotel and gastronomic activity on the site.
The Tiphaine Logis illustrates the strategic and cultural importance of Mont-Saint-Michel in the 14th century, a period marked by conflicts between France and England. His relationship with Du Guesclin, a major figure in the Hundred Years' War, and with Tiphaine Raguenel, an learned and influential woman, reinforces his historical and heritage interest.
