Origin and history
Hotel Choderlos de Laclos is a building located in Salins-les-Bains, in the Jura department, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. This monument, whose exact origin and period of construction are not specified in the available sources, bears the name of the writer Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, famous for his novel Les Liaisons dangereux. However, the source text does not confirm a direct link between the author and this private hotel.
The hotel has been partially protected since 2024: its house on garden, its facades, its garden, as well as its courtyard (including galleries, a staircase and medallions) were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 8 August 2024. The exact location is 39 and 39b rue de la Liberté, on plots 32 and 33 of the municipality. The accuracy of its geographical location is considered "passable" (note of 5/10), and the building now belongs to the municipality of Salins-les-Bains.
No information is available about its current use (visits, rentals, guest rooms) or its detailed history before 2024. The sources are limited to the administrative data of the Merimée database and the Monumentum sheet, without mentioning historical events, sponsors or major transformations. The Salins-les-Bains region, known for its thermal baths and salt heritage, has several classified buildings, but the specific role of this hotel in local history remains unknown.
