Origin and history
The former hotel of Abbeville is an iconic monument of the eighteenth century, located at 84 rue du Maréchal-Foch. This building, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 14 April 1954, is distinguished by its facades on street, its portal, as well as by the carpentry of its door. Inside, the large staircase adorned with a wrought iron ramp and the decoration of the large living room testify to the architectural refinement of the era.
The location of the hotel, in the centre of Abbeville, reflects the urban importance of this city of the Hauts-de-France in the Enlightenment century. Although the sources do not specify its original use, this particular type of hotel was generally associated with the aristocracy or the affluent bourgeoisie, playing a role in local social and cultural life. The accuracy of its current location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), with an address confirmed in the Merimée database.
The protected elements, such as the staircase and decorated living room, highlight the heritage value of the building. No information is available on its current access (visits, rental, or accommodation), or on any historic owners or sponsors. The data comes mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée archives, without further details of its history or occupants.
