Ranquines, Historic birthplace in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, France.
The Ranquines house features a main room and three bedrooms, reflecting the architectural style of traditional Landes farmhouses from the 16th century.
Built as a family residence, this dwelling became the birthplace of Vincent de Paul in 1581, who lived there for the first thirteen years of his life.
The name Ranquines originates from Gascon language, referring to 'the farm of the limping man' due to the physical condition of Vincent's father.
Visitors can examine historical artifacts inside the house, including Vincent's letter to his mother from 1610, his crucifix, and a commemorative bust.
The property contains an ancient oak tree that predates Vincent's birth by 400 years and measures 13 meters in circumference.
