Facade and staircase ramp in wrought iron: inscription by decree of 23 November 1949
Origin and history
Hôtel des Laurens is a building located in the heart of Avignon, in the department of Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This building, whose exact address is 14 rue Saint-Étienne, is distinguished by remarkable architectural elements, including its facade and its wrought iron staircase ramp. These parties were officially recognized and protected by an inscription under the Historic Monuments in 1949, attesting to their heritage and artistic value.
In the city of Avignon, private hotels such as the Laurens often reflect the urban and social history of the region. Over the centuries, these homes have housed influential families or activities related to trade, justice or local government. Although the specific details of the occupants or the initial construction of this hotel are not mentioned in the available sources, its inscription to the heritage underlines its importance in the historical fabric of Avignon.
The protection of its decorative elements, such as the wrought iron ramp, also illustrates the attention paid to the preservation of local craftsmanship, characteristic of the ancient periods in south-eastern France.
