Heritage classified

Origin and history

The Houses located in Avignon, on Place du Palais, constitute a historical monument whose facades and roofs were inscribed by ministerial decree in 1927. Their precise location, although subject to an accuracy deemed mediocre (note of 5/10), places them at the heart of the city of popes, in a neighborhood full of history. These buildings, although little documented in the available sources, reflect the typical civil architecture of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

The inscription under the title of Historic Monuments in 1927 underscores their heritage value, especially for their external elements (facades and roofs). Their official address, 17-19 Place du Palais, is located in the immediate vicinity of the Palais des Papes, a central place in the historical and tourist life of Avignon. No information is available about their current use (visit, rental, accommodation) or their detailed history, but their protection is evidence of their importance in the urban landscape.
