Origin and history

The house at 1 rue Aufrédi in La Rochelle is a representative 18th century building, a period of construction confirmed by historical sources. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its arcade porches, typical of the urban architecture of rock of this time. The arcades on Chaudrier Street were specifically protected by a registration order dated June 14, 1928, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this house, in downtown La Rochelle, reflects the importance of bourgeois and commercial dwellings in this dynamic harbour city. In the 18th century, La Rochelle, then integrated into the province of Poitou-Charentes (now New Aquitaine), was a major economic hub, thanks to its maritime activity. Arcade houses, like this one, often served as places of residence, trade or crafts, playing a central role in everyday life.

The available data indicate that the accuracy of the current location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), with an approximate address located at 3 Aufredy Street, although the official address recorded in the Merimée base is 1 Aufredi Street. This disparity could be explained by urban changes or historical transcription errors. No information is provided on opening to the public, possible room rental or services such as guest rooms.
