Maison de Jeanne (French pronunciation: [mɛzɔ̃ də ʒan], lit.

The timber frame and cob structure was dated to the spring of 1478 by Christophe Perrault.

[1] Le Figaro attributes the unusual design of the building to the local tax laws at the time of construction, suggesting that they were based on the floorplan of the building and that the original owner built the upper floors wider and larger than the ground floor.

[4]: 212 [failed verification] The house was purchased by the municipality of Sévérac in 1995 and restoration and repair work was planned.

Jeanne's House became famous following the publication of the photograph of a tourist from the United States on May 6, 2017, on the image hosting site Imgur.

[7] The building has two storeys and a vaulted cellar containing feed troughs, which indicate that the original owners lived with their animals on the lower floor.
