HENRI IV HOUSE
Go there and contact
This house epitomizes the transition from medieval spiral staircases to the straight banisters typical of the century
It is not the house itself that is remarkable, but its staircase. The form and quality of its workmanship make this listed historic site an exceptional work. The staircase alone summarizes the transition period between the spiral staircases of the Middle Ages and the straight banisters typical of the 16th century. Its ashlar base and wooden arches are visible from the inner courtyard. For the record, Henri de Navarre, the future king Henri IV, stayed in this house in 1578 with Catherine de Medici, the future queen Margot.

Il faut passer le porche de cette magnifique maison à colombages pour accéder à la cour intérieure. Quand on y est on peut admirer un magnifique escalier en bois et en pierre.
Si cette maison porte le nom du roi de France Henri IV c'est parce que ce dernier y avait séjourné avant d'accéder au trône.
C'est un endroit à voir et que je recommande à ceux qui aiment les belles pierres .
