Avocaterie des pauvres, Historical house in Nîmes, France
The building combines two distinct medieval houses with separate roofs, featuring a basket-handle entrance framed by two shop arches on Rue Fresque.
Founded in 1484, this residence housed the Poor People's Advocacy Foundation, an institution providing legal services to underprivileged citizens until the early 20th century.
The interior preserves numerous 15th-century architectural elements, including window seats and a spiral staircase arranged around a light well.
Located at 16 Rue Fresque, the building extends to Rue de l'Étoile and Rue Louis Raoul in the center of Nîmes.
The structure maintains its medieval layout with a first floor organized around a small courtyard, containing an uncommon interior spiral staircase configuration.
