Origin and history

The Maison du coche d'eau is a historic monument located in Auxerre, in the department of Yonne in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built in the 16th century, it illustrates Renaissance civil architecture in this region. Its name probably evokes its past use related to river transport, although the sources do not specify its exact role at the time.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 22 October 1923, only its facade enjoys official protection. The building is now owned by a public establishment, but the information on its current access (visits, rentals, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. Its exact address, 3 Place du Coche d'Eau, confirms its anchoring in the historic center of Auxerre.

The location data, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 7/10), place the monument near Courtet Square, an area probably lively in the modern era because of its proximity to the waterways. No information is provided on any owners, architects or significant events related to this building, other than its heritage protection.
