Our article on the history of Valves (Morbihan) goes to rue Hoche. The historian and elected François Ars tells us about this garage whose presence we can still guess.
A coach garage
François Ars sets the scene:
Rue Hoche was a main thoroughfare in Vannes before the construction of Boulevard de la Paix. The national road which crossed the city borrowed this street.
There were many garages there, including the garage for the Cautru brothers’ excursion buses. There were also the mechanics Lambert and Roger as well as a place for repairing cycles.
A garage that takes time to come out of the ground
As François Ars says, “the idea of such a garage goes back to the 1920s but it will take a decade for the project to materialize. »
This residential building with offices on the ground floor and garages at the rear offers a beautiful overall harmony.
If you take this street near the Hôtel de Ville, you will still see traces there: Autocars Vannetais, L. Cautru.
