Timeline

Origin and history

The houses located from number 5 to 30 of Rue Baudrarie in Vitré are an architectural complex classified as Historic Monument. Their protection specifically concerns facades and roofs, officially recognized by a registration order dated 3 May 1927. These buildings, although their exact period of construction is not specified, are part of the ancient urban fabric of Vitré, emblematic of Ille-et-Vilaine in Brittany.

Rue Baudrarie, whose exact address is confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, reflects a central location in the municipality of Vitré (Insee code 35360). This type of monument, typical of Breton city centres, often reflects the evolution of construction techniques and urban lifestyles between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Old houses, such as these, generally served as housing for artisans, traders or bourgeois families, playing a key role in local economic and social life.

Their preservation makes it possible today to study the architectural and urban history of the region.
