Origin and history

This house located in La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, is a 17th and 18th century building, representative of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by an arcade inscribed as Historic Monument by order of 29 September 1928, highlighting its heritage interest.

The location of this monument, at 25 rue du Palais, is attested in the Merimée base, although geographical accuracy is considered mediocre (note of 5/10). This type of house, typical of port cities like La Rochelle, reflects the economic and urban development of the region under the Ancien Régime, marked by maritime commerce and a prosperous bourgeoisie.

Available data from Monumentum and internal archives do not specify the specific sponsors or historical uses of this building. Only the arcade is officially protected, without any mention of opening to the public or of current functions (visit, rental, accommodation).
