La Rochelle, then in Poitou-Charentes (now Nouvelle-Aquitaine), was a major commercial hub. The houses of this period often served as places of residence for merchants or artisans, while sometimes sheltering economic activities on the ground floor. Their preservation bears witness to the importance of civil heritage in this region.
