Origin and history

Logis des Rousson, located at 24 rue des Farges in Puy-en-Velay, is a 16th-century civil building. This monument is distinguished by its entrance door, characteristic of Renaissance architecture, with a salient entanglement and two pilasters with partially canned ionic capitals. The original carpentry, composed of small panels, is always visible.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 26 March 1934, only the protected element is the street gate, including its vantals. This protection demonstrates the heritage value of this architectural detail, representative of the classical influences introduced in France during the Renaissance. No information is available on the original owners or the precise use of the house.

The location of the monument, in the historical centre of Puy-en-Velay, suggests its integration into a medieval and reborn urban fabric. The rue des Farges, mentioned in the archives, could indicate a craft or commercial area in the modern era, although the source text does not specify the socio-economic context of the neighbourhood.
