Origin and history

Hotel Adhémar de Cransac is an iconic building located in Avignon, in the department of Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries, it embodies the civil architecture of this period, marked by classical and local influences. The building is distinguished by elements such as a calated courtyard, typical of the area, and a staircase of honor decorated with balusters, reflecting the prestige of its former owners.

Ranked as historical monuments since 27 June 1983, the hotel specifically protects parts such as the three lounges on the first floor, with their original décor, as well as the courtyard and staircase. These protections underline the heritage value of the building, both for its architecture and for its role in the urban history of Avignon. The precise address, 13 rue Banasterie, places the monument in the historic heart of the city, close to other classified sites.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, also mention references to architectural databases such as Mérimée, confirming its importance in the local heritage. Although information on its current uses (visits, rentals) is missing from the source texts, its classification guarantees its preservation for future generations. The location, noted as 'passable' on Monumentum, suggests relative accessibility in the dense urban fabric of Avignon.
