A Renaissance manor house built around 1500 in Valognes, a town in the Manche département of Normandy, the Maison du Grand quartier exemplifies the architectural refinement of early sixteenth-century France. Designated as a monument historique inscrit, the structure preserves the classical proportions and decorative sensibilities characteristic of Renaissance design during a period when such houses served as symbols of wealth and learning among the provincial gentry.
