Origin and history

The house at 24 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier is a building dating from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It bears the date of 1723 engraved on its facade, making it an architectural testimony of this period. This building is particularly famous for being the home of Rouget de Lisle, author of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 2 December 1926, only the facade of this house enjoys official protection. Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, indicate that the exact address is 24 rue du Commerce, although GPS coordinates sometimes suggest a close location on 22nd street. The accuracy of this location is estimated as fair (note 5/10).

The building is part of the local heritage of Lons-le-Saunier, city in the Jura department (39) in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Although the practical information about its visit or current use (rental, guest rooms) is not specified, its status as a Historical Monument and its link with Rouget de Lisle make it an emblematic place of the French collective memory.
