Origin and history

The Hotel de Fontanes, also known as the Beaulieu Hotel, is a private hotel located at number 8 of the Grande-Rue, in the commune of Viviers, in Ardèche. This monument, built in the 18th century, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the region. Its location in the heart of Viviers, a city marked by its medieval and episcopal history, bears witness to the urban development and lifestyles of the local elites at that time.

The building was listed as historic monuments by order of 1 August 1986. This protection recognizes its heritage and architectural value, although the available sources do not specify the specific reasons for this listing. The hotel is referenced in the Merimée database, allowing access to detailed administrative and geographic information, such as its exact address and Insee code.

Practical information on access to the public, such as the possibility of visits, room rental or accommodation, is not mentioned in the sources consulted. The Hotel de Fontanes therefore remains a monument whose current vocation is not clearly documented, but which retains importance in the historical and architectural landscape of Viviers and the Ardèche.
