MAISON HENRI IV

If you're into authentic ancient staircases, this one should give you a kick. The place is inhabited, so best keep quiet and just take it in.

friendly!

Beautiful house to visit with a guide who takes the time in 2 hours explanations very rewarding as well from the origins of the city of Saint-Valery-en-Caux as the history of this house to the outside as to the interior as well as means put in place to maintain it and protect it from time and elements

A courtyard overlooking a staircase worked particularly that Henry used! A large stone carved front door to the right is a stone that served up walking to ride more easily on his horse. The entrance to the barn is still visible from the street, to the left of the entrance of the house. When we place ourselves at the foot of the central axis of the stairs, it is located above a well from which water fed all levels of the house with a bucket hanging by a rope to a pulley. Running water on all floors!

Nothing exceptional to be in front of as much to go there
