Origin and history

The house at 65-69 Carnot Street in Mâcon is a civil building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with particular attention to its front door, whose imposs and vantals have been protected since 1929. This type of house reflects Mâcon's urban development under the Old Regime, marked by the emergence of an easy bourgeoisie.

Classified as a historical monument by decree of 15 January 1929, this house illustrates the preserved architectural heritage of Saône-et-Loire. The protection specifically concerns the decorative elements of the door, witnesses to the craftsmanship of the time. Its location in the city centre, on a major artery such as Carnot Street, highlights its importance in the historical urban fabric of Mâcon.

Available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) mention an address discrepancy between n°21 and n°65-69, perhaps reflecting changes in numbering or transcription errors. The current GPS location corresponds to #65, confirming the presence of the monument at this location. The house does not seem open to the public, but its façade remains a notable point of heritage interest.
