Origin and history
The Marquis de la Tourette hotel is a private hotel located in the heart of Tournon-sur-Rhône, in Ardèche. Although its interior construction began in the 16th century, its present façade dates from the 18th century. This monument illustrates the architectural evolution of aristocratic residences in the region, mixing elements from different periods.
The building, which was listed as a historical monument on 26 March 1936, was purchased by the municipality in 1951. Today, it hosts public and cultural services, such as the tourism office, the municipal library and a cultural centre, reflecting its adaptation to contemporary needs.
Located in 2 Place Saint-Julien, the hotel is an example of heritage preserved and reinvested by the community. Its inscription among the historical monuments of 1936 underlines its architectural importance and its anchoring in local history. Available sources such as the Merimée and Wikipedia confirm its status as communal property and its present role in the life of Tournon-sur-Rhône.
