Maison, 1 rue des Cuisiniers, Bayeux, Medieval house in Bayeux, France

This house at 1 rue des Cuisiniers is a 16th-century residential building with visible timber beams and typical Norman construction features. The facade displays the building methods that craftspeople used throughout this region for generations.

The house stands at the corner of rue Saint-Martin and rue des Cuisiniers, north of Bayeux Cathedral. It was classified as a monument historique on 22 February 1924. Over time it housed a stall, an inn, the restaurant Le Loge à pieds until the early 20th century, and the tourist office at the end of the 20th century.

The building exemplifies traditional Norman construction methods through its visible timber framework, which characterizes the regional architectural style.

The house stands at the corner of rue Saint-Martin and rue des Cuisiniers, north of Bayeux cathedral, in the city centre. It is a classified monument, so it is seen from the street; the ground floor has a shopfront window and a doorway, and the upper storeys overhang the pavement.

The house is only 7.4 m long and 3.5 m wide, yet rises 13 m to the gable, which is why it looks so slender on its corner. Over time it housed a stall, an inn, the restaurant Le Loge à pieds until the early 20th century, and the tourist office at the end of the 20th century.
