The house of the merchant Guillaume Ladire, which was built in 1540. The building was built in the Renaissance style. King Henry IV stayed here. In the museum you can see an exhibition dedicated to local history. In particular, part of the exposition is dedicated to the first owner of the house. Another part shows the tragic events in the city of Saint-Valery-en-Caux during the 2nd World War, when 70% of its area was wiped off the face of the earth.

This is the oldest house in the city, it says "1540" above its door. This half-timbered Renaissance house was built by the wealthy shipowner Guillaume Ladiret in 1540, as evidenced by the inscription above the porch. It presents an exhibition of local history and traditions of the country. The name Maison Henri IV comes from the legend that in 1593, during the military campaigns against the League in the Dieppe region, King Henry IV stopped here to spend the night. One of the exhibits is the bed on which he slept.
