A surprising place that will attract bonapartists and the curious alike

The house was built in 1840 by an Empire soldier, Sergeant Louis-Joseph Petit, who settled in Saint-Riquier after being wounded at the Battle of Ligny in 1815. The house's eye-catching gable in the shape of an imperial hat is topped by a stone statuette of Napoleon I, which has replaced the timeworn original. It has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1928. A surprising place (and a charming house) that will attract bonapartists and the curious alike. Please note: the house cannot be visited!

juste pour sa façade
Bon c'est donné comme une curiosité de la ville, mais cela vaut uniquement pour sa façade étrange en forme de chapeau impérial, ne pas manquer de voir au sommet de sa faîtière une petite statue de l'empereur, aujourd'hui ce bâtiment abrite aussi un cabinet d'avocat.
