Origin and history

Hotel de Jonc is a civil building located in the commune of Orange, in the department of Vaucluse (region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur). This monument is distinguished by its characteristic facades and roofs, as well as its vaulted entrance passage, elements protected since 1984. Its official address, 12bis-14 rue Petite-Fusterie, places the building in the historic heart of the city, close to other remarkable sites.

The protection of the Hotel de Jonc was formalized by a decree of 13 September 1984, specifically classifying its facades, roofs and entrance vaulted passage. This classification is part of a process of preserving the local architectural heritage, typical of Provencal cities. No additional information is available on its history, sponsors or initial uses.

In the urban context of Orange, marked by its rich Roman and medieval past, private hotels such as that of Jonc testify to the evolution of the aristocratic or bourgeois habitation between the Middle Ages and the modern era. These buildings often served as residences for wealthy families, while playing a role in the social and economic life of the city. Their preservation now allows us to study the construction techniques and lifestyles of past times.
