Origin and history

Hotel Jean Doyac is a building located in the town of Clermont-Ferrand, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This monument, whose construction dates back to the 15th century, is mainly recognized for its door, classified as a Historical Monument by ministerial decree in 1926. The exact address, according to the Merimée base, is 29 rue de la Rodade, although GPS coordinates also suggest 27 of the same street.

These differences reflect an approximate location, noted as "passible" (5/10) in available sources. In the 15th century, Clermont-Ferrand, then under the influence of the Duchy of Auvergne, was a developing city, marked by a medieval and reborn architecture. Private hotels, like Jean Doyac's, testify to the rise of an urban bourgeoisie and its role in economic and social life.

These buildings often served as residences for local notables, while embodying a social status through careful architectural elements, such as open doors. Their preservation today offers an overview of urban planning and lifestyles of this time.
