Origin and history

The house on Rue de l'Église, known as the house of Sandrine, is an emblematic building of the town of Bazouges-la-Perouse, in Ille-et-Vilaine. Built in the 17th century, it combines a carved granite ground floor and a corbelled wooden floor, characteristic of the merchant houses of the era. Its gable on the street, pierced by a door in the middle of a hanger, a window with a stone stand and an oculus, bears witness to a neat architecture, probably linked to a commercial activity (lethal suggesting use by a merchant).

The structure has an elongated rectangular plan with a square floor, covered with a long-paned slate roof. Inside, three granite chimneys – two in the south wall and a third in the west – highlight its domestic use. The house was remodeled in the 19th century, especially on the northern facade, but retains original elements such as granite and shale bellows. Enlisted as historical monuments on October 11, 1930, it illustrates Breton's rural architectural heritage.

Its location in the city centre of Bazouges-la-Perouse, in the main street, makes it a rare vestige of the old houses of the town. The combination of local materials (granite, shale, slate) and constructive techniques (corbelling, granite cornice) reflects regional know-how. Although its geographical accuracy is considered mediocre (note 5/10), its official address (24 rue de l'Eglise) and its code Insee 35019 confirm its anchoring in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine.

The sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) mention its status as a historical monument and its heritage interest, without mentioning current usage (visit, rental, etc.). The house remains a material testimony of bourgeois or commercial life in Brittany in the seventeenth century, a period marked by the development of the towns and the rise of local commerce.
