Origin and history

This house, located in Orléans in the Loiret department, dates from the 1st quarter of the seventeenth century. It represents an example of civil architecture of this period, marked by a transition between Renaissance and classical styles. The building is recognized in particular for its staircase on courtyard, a remarkable architectural element which led to its partial inscription under the title of Historical Monuments by order of 3 October 1929.

The official address recorded at the Mérimée base is 26 rue Louis-Roguet, although approximate GPS coordinates also suggest a nearby location at 38 rue Étienne Dolet. The accuracy of this location is estimated as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), indicating a correct but perfectable geographical identification. No information is available on its accessibility to the public, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation.

The historical context of Orleans at the beginning of the seventeenth century is that of a dynamic city, marked by its commercial and administrative role in the region of the Loire Valley. The bourgeois houses of this time often reflect the prosperity of local merchants and notables, although the archives specific to this monument do not specify its original use or its owners. The inscription of the staircase, however, bears witness to the heritage value accorded to certain architectural elements, even if isolated.
