Origin and history

The house in Grasse, in the Alpes-Maritimes, is a 12th century building. Classified as a Historical Monument, it is distinguished by its facades, which were registered by ministerial decree on December 12, 1936. This building illustrates the medieval civil architecture of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, although the precise details of its construction and its first occupants remain poorly documented in the available sources.

Located at 3 rue de Mougins-Roquefort (or 5 rue Mougins Roquefort according to GPS coordinates), this house is part of the historical urban fabric of Grasse, a city known for its medieval heritage and its role in trade and crafts in Provence. At the time of its construction in the 12th century, the area was marked by a feudal social organization, where stone houses such as this were used as both a dwelling, a workshop or a place of commerce for local families. The facades, a protected element, reflect the construction techniques and materials typical of the period, such as local stone and narrow openings.

The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting that its exact location may require further verification. No information is available on its current accessibility to the public, including visits, room rental or accommodation. The data comes mainly from the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, supplemented by photographic observations under Creative Commons license.
