Origin and history

The Fanton Hotel in Andon is an emblematic building of the town of Grasse, built between the second half of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century. This building, classified as a Historical Monument, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Its facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree in 1966, testify to artisanal know-how and local stylistic influences.

Located at 14 rue Gazan, in the Alpes-Maritimes department (code Insee 06069), the hotel is part of the urban heritage of Grasse, a city renowned for its perfumery history and its economic role in the region. Although the available sources do not specify its initial use, its status as a Historic Monument and its location in the city centre suggest a residential or representative function for an affluent family.

Data from the Merimée database and Monumentum confirm its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments on 18 May 1966, specifically covering facades and roofs (cadastre E 63p). No information is available regarding its opening to the public, possible room rental or services such as guest rooms. The accuracy of its location is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10).
