Origin and history
The Hôtel des Cèdres is a private hotel located in the town of Baugé, on the current town of Baugé-en-Anjou, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. Built in 1825 as indicated by a date on the building, it represents an example of 19th-century civil architecture. Its commons were enlarged during the same century, reflecting the changes in the domestic and aesthetic needs of the time.
The building was classified as historic monuments on December 5, 1984 for its remarkable architectural elements, including the entrance gate, facades and roofs of the pavilions, as well as the garden with its terrace walk. Some interior elements, such as the woodwork in the living room, a haze fireplace, and a faience stove, were also protected by an inscription on the same day. These protections highlight the hotel's heritage value, both for its exterior architecture and for its interior decorations.
The location of the Hôtel des Cèdres, at 1 rue Guérin-de-Fontaine (or 4 Rue Guérin des Fontaines according to the sources), makes it a central element of Baugé-en-Anjou's built heritage. Its ordered garden and pavilions contribute to its distinctive character, typical of the bourgeois residences of this period in Anjou. The building thus illustrates the way of life and architectural aspirations of the local bourgeoisie in the 19th century.
