Origin and history
The house of King René, located at 11 rue du Roi-René and 6 rue Grivolas in Avignon, is an emblematic building of the 15th century. Ranked a Historic Monument by order of 16 April 1975, this building is distinguished by its interior decoration, which is fully protected. The building today belongs to the commune of Avignon, in the department of Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
The location of this monument, although documented (Insee code 84007), remains approximate according to the available sources, with an accuracy assessed as fair (note of 5/10). GPS coordinates suggest an address close to Grivolas Street, but no additional information specifies its current use (visits, rentals, accommodation). The data are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum.
The building, often associated with King Rene d'Anjou – although its name is not explicitly mentioned in the sources as linked to its construction or occupation – embodies the Avignon architectural heritage of the late Middle Ages. Its classification covers the entire building and its decor, highlighting its historical and artistic importance. No other period of construction or major modification is reported in the documents consulted.
