Origin and history

The house in Riom, dating from the 16th century, is especially remarkable for its staircase integrated into a more recent hotel, probably from the 18th century. This staircase, classified as Monument Historique, is distinguished by its cage decorated with curved balconies and bay windows, as well as by mouldings and a carved shield surrounded by foliage above the entrance. These architectural elements reflect the style of the time, combining functionality and refined decoration.

The official protection of the staircase and the gallery on court, inscribed by decree of 14 March 1927, underscores their heritage value. The stairwell, accessible from the courtyard, gives access to galleries forming corridors leading to the apartments. The balconies, in full wall with ground patterns, illustrate the neat Renaissance craftsmanship, while the closed windows add a touch of light and modernity for the era.

The precise address of this monument, 10 rue du Commerce in Riom (Puy-de-Dôme), is listed in the Merimée base under the code Insee 63300. Although the GPS location is approximate (12 rue du Commerce), sources such as Monumentum confirm its protected element status. No information is available on its current accessibility to the public, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
