Origin and history

The Hotel du Roure, located at 2-4-6-8 rue de la Roquette in Arles, is an emblematic monument of the city, built in the seventeenth century. Its facades and roofs, including those overlooking the street and the courtyard of honour, as well as the Renaissance elements of the back yard, reflect the refined architecture of the era. The building was partially protected by an inscription under the Historic Monuments in 1974, specifically covering facades, roofs and the entrance gate.

The location of the hotel, in the historic centre of Arles, is marked by a geographical accuracy considered satisfactory (note of 6/10), although GPS coordinates indicate a slightly different address (3 Bis Rue de la Roquette). This could be explained by urban changes or survey errors. The building now belongs to a private company, and its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources.

The protected elements of the Hôtel du Roure, such as the Renaissance facades and the portal, illustrate the influence of the architectural styles of the modern period in Provence. The 1974 inscription underlines the heritage value of these components, although the archives do not mention the name of the architect or that of the first owners. The Creative Commons license associated with the photos of the monument (credit: Finoskov) facilitates its dissemination, contributing to its reputation in the Arlesian heritage.
