The medieval town retains a hundred-fold houses, which are discovered along the winding streets of the Saint-Jacques quarter. They recognize their corbel from one level to another. On the ground floor, usually granite, was the shop whose wide openings are still recognized. On the floor and under the attic, the weavers lived. Indeed, it was in the Saint-Jacques area that the sheets of parthenay were produced who exported to the Middle Ages in the north of the kingdom.

Ces maisons de bois sont au Moyen Âge occupées par des artisans-commerçants, surtout des tisserands dont le rez-de-chaussée constitue le lieu de travail et l’étage, le lieu de vie. Le rez-de-chaussée est construit en granite local et les étages supérieurs sont garnis de bois de chêne entre lesquels se trouve le hourdis, matériau de remplissage constitué de briquettes. Certaines sont en encorbellement.
Parthenay a été pour nous une étape dans une ville d’atmosphère. Ses rues et venelles médiévales, les maisons à pans de bois, les petites places calmes nous ont charmés. Un peu partout, on rencontre des armoiries, l’explication de l’origine du concept et la description des différentes armoiries exposées, un peu comme si la cité médiévale s’était transformée en musée des armoiries en plein air! L’armorial de Parthenay rassemble les armoiries des seigneurs de Parthenay, des comtes de Poitou et des personnages importants de leur époque. On en compte plus d’une centaine.
