Timeline

Origin and history

The house located at 41 Gambetta square in Bordeaux is a monument with limited historical data. Its location in this emblematic city of New Aquitaine makes it an element of the local urban heritage, although its period of construction is not specified in the current sources. Houses of this type, often built in medieval, modern or contemporary times according to their style, played a central role in the daily life of the Bordelais.

They served both as housing for families, commercial space or crafts, and reflected the economic and social dynamics of the city over the centuries. Bordeaux, a major port since Antiquity, has seen its urban fabric evolve according to trade, especially with England and the colonies, as well as successive political and architectural transformations.
