Chaumont, capital of the Haute-Marne in the Grand-Est region, has a varied built heritage, marked by Champagne and Burgundy influences. Old houses, like this one, often illustrate the urban and social evolution of the city, especially between the Middle Ages and the 19th century. Their preservation enables us to understand the lifestyles, construction techniques and spatial organization of historic city centres.

These buildings, sometimes seemingly modest, play a key role in collective memory and local identity.
