Immeuble, 7 Grande-rue, Historical house in Grande-rue, Nancy, France

The Maison Médard Chuppin at 7 Grande-rue is a townhouse whose façade combines timber framing with stone. Its carved wooden brackets and window frames date from the 16th century, when the street was lined with merchants' houses. The building was inscribed as a monument historique for these surviving carved elements.

The house is named after Médard Chuppin, a canon of Nancy's collegiate church, who had it built in the early 16th century; its Renaissance doorway and carved window frames date from this campaign. It was inscribed as a monument historique in 1944, a listing that protects the facade and roof on the Grande-rue side.

The building contributes to Grande-rue's character as a mixed street where locals and visitors walk among shops and residential structures. The street reflects how daily life has unfolded in the old town for generations.

The building sits within easy walking distance from Place Stanislas and can be spotted while strolling through the old town. The exterior is viewable directly from the street as you explore the surrounding area.

The house is named for Médard Chuppin, its owner when it was listed as a monument historique inscrit. The designation covers the building itself at 7 Grande-rue, not the street, and protects its façades and roof structure.
