Born in this house in 1632
Origin and history
The home of Esprit Fléchier is a house of the 1st quarter of the 17th century located in Pernes-les-Fontaines, in the department of Vaucluse. This building, typical of the Provencal architecture of the time, is today a museum dedicated to Comtadine traditions. It was listed as a historical monument on 2 December 1988, especially for its baluster staircase and French ceilings.
Valentin Esprit Fléchier (1632-1710), born in this house, was a famous churchman and 17th century preacher. Bishop of Lavaur and then of Nîmes, he became a member of the French Academy in 1672 thanks to his talents as a speaker. His career was marked by his ties with the Duke of Montausier and his noted funeral oraisons.
The building, owned by the municipality, retains protected architectural elements such as stairs and ceilings. Its exact address is 3 Rue Fléchier in Pernes-les-Fontaines, in a historic district of this Vauclusian city.
