Origin and history

The Blin de Bourdon Hotel is a historical monument located in Amiens, in the Hauts-de-France region. It is the result of the merger of two private hotels in the 18th century, which gives it its present appearance. This building is distinguished by its architecture and its interior decorations, typical of 18th century art.

The hotel owes its name and present appearance to its eighteenth century owner, whose identity is not specified in the sources. The most remarkable features include a living and dining room decorated with woodwork and fireplaces, as well as stucco bas-reliefs on the first floor door tops. The staircase, with its wrought iron ramp and gypsum shops, is also a testament to the elegance of the era.

The facades, roofs, interior decorations (woodhouses, stucco, fireplaces, gypseries), as well as the garden and monumental gate on the rue des Augustins, have been protected since 1993 by an inscription to the Historical Monuments. The exact address, 1-3 rue des Augustins, places the hotel in a central district of Amiens, reflecting its heritage importance.

The hotel's location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10) based on available data, suggesting an approximation in GPS coordinates or map references. Despite this, its precise address and protection make it a site of interest for the study of 18th century civil architecture in Picardia (now Hauts-de-France).
