Origin and history

Hotel de Flore is a private hotel located in the town of Angers, Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built in the 19th century, it is distinguished by its architecture and its organization in five housing units. This monument illustrates the bourgeois residential style of this period, marked by particular attention to facades and structured interior spaces.

Listed as a Historical Monument, the Hotel de Flore was partially protected by order of 21 December 1977. The protected elements include the main façade on the entrance courtyard, the back façade on Rue du Mail, as well as the facades of the doorway pavilion with their corresponding roofs. These protections underline the heritage importance of this building, both for its architecture and for its integration into the urban fabric of Angers.

The building is located at 14 Chevreul Street and 80bis rue du Mail, in a central area of the city. Its exact address is referenced in the Merimée database, which facilitates its identification and preservation. Although the information on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a key element of the Angelian heritage.

The 19th century in Angers was a period of urban and social transformation, marked by industrialization and the emergence of an influential bourgeoisie. Private hotels, such as the Hotel de Flore, reflected the prestige and economic power of their owners. These urban residences often played a role in the social and cultural life of the city, while embodying the architectural changes of the time.
