Origin and history

Hotel de Crose is an iconic building located in the commune of Les Mées, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. Built in the 17th century, it embodies the civil architecture of this period in Provence. Its inscription in the title of historic monuments, effective since 21 February 1989, underscores its heritage importance, notably for its Saint-Félix portal and its preserved structure.

The monument is located precisely at 7-9 Font-Neuve Street and 6 crosses Bonne-Fontaine, in the centre of Les Mées. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its protected status, including both the hotel and its adjacent portal. Although the specific architectural or historical details are not explicitly described in the sources, its official inscription attests to its historical and artistic value for the Provence-Alpes-Côte d的Azur region.

The location of the Mees, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, places this hotel in a rural and mountain context of the seventeenth century. At that time, such buildings often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, reflecting their social status. Civil monuments such as the Hotel de Crose also played a role in the spatial and social organization of villages, marking the landscape with their sustainable architectural presence.
