Origin and history

This house, located at 23 rue du Mining in La Rochelle, is an emblematic building of the 17th and 18th centuries. It bears witness to the civil architecture of this period, marked by both classical and local influences. His arcade, a notable architectural element, was listed as a Historical Monument by ministerial decree in 1928, highlighting its heritage value.

The location of this monument, in the historic centre of La Rochelle, reflects the urban and commercial importance of the city in the modern era. La Rochelle, a major port on the Atlantic, was then experiencing an economic boom linked to maritime trade, particularly with the colonies. The houses of that time often served as residences for merchants or shipowners, while sometimes integrating spaces dedicated to professional activities.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of its current location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainties about its exact location. The official address, registered in the Merimée base, confirms however its anchoring in the mining district, the historical area of the city. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visit, rental, accommodation).
