Origin and history

The 18th century hotel is a building located in Avignon, in the department of Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Built in the 18th century, it embodies the civil architecture of this period, marked by elegance and symmetry of facades. Its protected elements, including facades and blankets, were inscribed in the Historic Monuments by order of 28 October 1949, highlighting their heritage value.

In the 18th century, Avignon, then under pontifical influence before its definitive connection to France in 1791, was a dynamic city where the aristocracy and the local bourgeoisie built private hotels. These residences reflected the social prestige of their owners and served as reception places. The 18th century hotel fits in with this, although the available archives do not specify its sponsor or its exact use.

His address, at 4 rue Violette, made him a witness of the Avignon urbanism of the time.
