Origin and history

This house, located at 47 rue du Mining in La Rochelle, is a 17th and 18th century building, representative of the urban architecture of this period. It was partially classified as a Historic Monument, especially for its arcade, protected by ministerial decree in 1928. This type of building illustrates the evolution of bourgeois or commercial dwellings in an active port such as La Rochelle, marked by maritime trade and cultural exchanges.

The location of this house, in the historic centre of La Rochelle, reflects the importance of this city as an economic and strategic crossroads between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. At that time, the houses on this street, often narrow and deep, served both as a dwelling, warehouse and sometimes as a place of commerce. Their architecture combined local influences and external inputs, demonstrating the prosperity associated with port activities.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), and its exact address, confirmed by the Merimée database, corresponds to the Insee 17300 code of the municipality of La Rochelle. No additional information is provided on any owners, architects or specific historical events related to this building.
