Maison, 1 rue du Palais, Protected historical house in La Rochelle, France
The stone building at 1 Rue du Palais features distinctive ground floor bossage work and contains two bays on Grosse-Horloge Street and three on Chef-de-Ville Street.
The house underwent reconstruction in 1824, with an additional elevation above the second floor documented by Lévêque during the late nineteenth century.
This structure represents one of the few remaining fifteenth and sixteenth-century buildings in this section of La Rochelle, alongside building number 4 on Port Street.
The interior space currently operates as a cafe, incorporating a wooden spiral staircase positioned in one corner of the establishment.
The building stands at the intersection of two streets without a courtyard and received monument status protection through a registration decree on June 20, 1928.

La Rochelle documents over seven centuries of French maritime history through its medieval fortifications and Renaissance architecture. The old port is guarded by three stone towers from the 14th and 15th centuries - the Saint Nicolas Tower, the Tour de la Chaîne, and the Lantern Tower - which once controlled access to the sea. The Great Clock Gate from 1476 connects the harbor front to the old city streets. The city center preserves buildings from the 16th through 18th centuries, with arcaded passages along Rue du Palais and Rue des Merciers. The Fontaine des Pilori dates from the 16th century, while the City Hall features Renaissance facades from 1595. The Musée du Nouveau Monde examines La Rochelle's transatlantic trade connections. The Les Minimes marina now serves more than 5,000 boats, making it one of the largest yacht harbors on the French Atlantic coast. The modern Passerelle Nelson Mandela, opened in 1993, carries pedestrians across the main harbor. Beyond the city center, the bridge to Île de Ré extends roughly 2 miles (3 kilometers) across the Bay of Biscay.
