Origin and history

The Maison Louis XVI, located in Avignon in the department of Vaucluse, is a monument whose name evokes the architectural style of the eighteenth century, although its exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources. This building is distinguished by its facade, classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 28 October 1949, which shows its heritage importance and its aesthetic or historical value recognized by the authorities. In the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, the bourgeois or urban houses of that time often reflected the economic and cultural dynamism of the cities.

Avignon, in particular, was an influential centre, marked by its pontifical history and commercial role. Monuments such as the Louis XVI House generally served as residences for local elites or notables, thus participating in the social and urban structure of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and architectural aspirations of past centuries.
