Origin and history

The house located in Narbonne, in the department of Aude in Occitanie region, is a historical monument whose particularity lies in its carved stones. These architectural elements, integrated into the facade overlooking the inner courtyard, led to its classification as Historical Monuments by order of 29 September 1952. The building is located at 11 Rue Louis Blanc, in an area whose geographical accuracy is estimated to be fair (level 5/10).

This type of house, although little documented in the available sources, reflects the importance of civil built heritage in the medieval or modern cities of Languedoc. The carved stones, often re-used, bear witness to common architectural practices where decorative elements of old buildings (churches, castles, or noble houses) were reused in later buildings. In Narbonne, a city marked by a rich history since ancient times, such details illustrate urban and artistic continuity throughout the centuries.
