Origin and history

The house at 25 rue Dupacy in La Rochelle is an 18th-century building, although its origin dates back to 1647, as indicated by its dating. It is distinguished by a typical architecture of the time, with two floors, a posterior courtyard and a lateral wing. The facade on street, made of cut stone, contrasts with the other elevations in coated stone, reflecting a careful and hierarchical construction.

The interior houses an anterior median staircase in screws, characterized by a stone core and wooden steps, a notable architectural element. Two lion-shaped gargoyles adorn the façade, adding a decorative and symbolic touch. The partial protection of the monument, with the inscription of its façade and arcade by decree of 20 June 1928, bears witness to its recognized heritage value.

Located in downtown La Rochelle, this house illustrates the evolution of urban habitat between the 17th and 18th centuries. Its exact address, 25 rue Dupacy, and its Insee code (17300) clearly links it to Charente-Maritime, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair, with approximate GPS coordinates pointing to the same street.
