Origin and history
Hotel de Vergès is an iconic monument located in the city of Agen. Dating from the 16th century, it illustrates the civil architecture of the Renaissance, a period marked by artistic and cultural renewal in France. This type of building often reflects the high social status of its owners or sponsors, although their names are not mentioned in available sources.
At that time, Agen, like other cities in the region, was a place for trade and urban development. Private hotels, such as the Hotel de Vergès, served as residences for wealthy families or local notables. They also played a role in the social and economic life of the city, sometimes hosting meetings or activities related to trade and administration.
