Origin and history
The house at 6 Molé Street in Troyes (Aube, Grand Est) has been a building listed as a Historic Monument since September 8, 1928. This protection specifically concerns its facades and roofs overlooking Mole Street and Rue des Champeaux. Mole Street, a pedestrian path to the "Bouchon de Champagne" – the historic centre of Troyes – connects Champeaux Street to the rue des 15th-Vingts, an emblematic district of the medieval city.
The name Molé Street pays tribute to an illustrious Troyan family, although the sources do not specify its exact role in local history. The house on 6 rue Molé is located in a remarkable architectural environment, close to the Saint-Jean-du-Marché church and other buildings classified as the Maison de l'Orfèvre. These elements underline the heritage importance of this area, marked by a preserved urban fabric.
The available data do not mention the exact period of construction of the house or its potential historic owners or occupants. Only its inscription in 1928 attests to its architectural or historical value. The approximate location provided by GPS coordinates (5 Champeaux Street) suggests possible administrative confusion, but the official address remains 6 Mole Street in the Aube department (Insee 10387 code).
