Origin and history

The house at 16 rue Chaudrier in La Rochelle is a 17th and 18th century civil building. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its facades lined with arcade porches, characteristic of the urban architecture of this period. The inscription in the inventory of Historical Monuments, which took place by decree on 14 June 1928, specifically concerns the facade and arcades, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this monument, in the city centre of La Rochelle (Department of Charente-Maritime, Nouvelle-Aquitaine region), reflects the historical importance of this port city. The arcade houses, typical of the town planning of Rochelais, were often used to house commercial activities on the ground floor, while offering accommodation on the floors. Their preservation bears witness to the architectural and social evolution of the city between the Great Century and the Enlightenment.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate a specific address (16 Chaudrier Street), although GPS localization suggests an approximation on the 14th of the same street. This minor disparity does not alter the recognition of the building as a key element of the local heritage. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visit, rental, accommodation), or on any historic owners or occupants.
