Maisons des Chanoines

The Maisons des Chanoines features medieval sections with remains of watchtowers and spiral staircases integrated into its stone gables and structural elements.

Following the devastating fire of 1552, the canonical houses underwent reconstruction during the 17th and 18th centuries, maintaining elements of their original medieval architecture.

The residence demonstrates the evolution of French ecclesiastical architecture, as canons built their homes near the episcopal palace following a concentric layout pattern.

Located at 8 Place du Parvis, the building contains protected elements including the monumental door and surrounding wall, classified by decree in April 1943.

The structure preserves a discharge arch and a 17th-century staircase, while its right gable displays extraction marks indicating former defensive elements.
