Origin and history

The Maison des Chartreux, located at 17 rue du Linas (or 17 rue Limas) in Avignon, is a building listed as a Historic Monument since 1982. This building is distinguished by its facades and roofs, both on street and on courtyard, which were officially protected by ministerial decree. The accuracy of its location remains poor (level 5/10), but its administrative address is clearly established in the Mérimée database, in the department of Vaucluse (code Insee 84007), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

Today, this monument belongs to the commune of Avignon. Although its current use (visits, rentals, accommodation) is not specified in available sources, its status as a Historic Monument suggests a recognized heritage value. The data come mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée archives, without further details of its history, past occupants or original function.

In Avignon, as in many Provencal cities, the historic buildings of this period often reflect local civil architecture, marked by medieval or Renaissance influences. These buildings generally served as residences for wealthy families, corporations or religious orders, playing a central role in urban life. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the evolution of the urban fabric and regional constructive practices.
