Origin and history

The house at 3 Albert I Street in La Rochelle is a building representative of 18th century civil architecture. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is characterized by its facades bordered by arcade porches, an architectural element typical of the urban buildings of this period. These arcades, inscribed in the additional inventory by decree of 14 June 1928, illustrate the importance attached to aesthetics and functionality in the planning of the streets in La Rochelle.

The location of this house, in downtown La Rochelle, reflects the town planning of this major port city on the Atlantic coast. In modern times, arcade houses often provided shelter for passersby and merchants, while structuring the public space. Their preservation today reflects the desire to preserve the built heritage linked to the commercial and maritime history of the region.

Available data, from sources such as Monumentum and the Merimée database, indicate that the exact address is 3 Albert I Street in the Charente-Maritime department (17). The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties on GPS coordinates. No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
