Origin and history

The Hôtel particulier de Saint-Restitut is a monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Drôme (26), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This building is listed as a Historical Monument, with specific protection on its façade and entrance turret, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1926. Its exact address, according to the Merimée base, is 2 Rue de la Tour, although its GPS location is judged to be of average accuracy (level 6 of 10).

The information available on this monument remains limited. It is a private hotel, type of building often associated with the aristocratic or bourgeois habitat of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. These urban or semi-urban residences generally reflected the social status of their owners, while playing a role in the spatial and economic organization of villages or small towns.

In Drôme, as in other rural areas, these private hotels could be used as a place of residence for local notables, officers, or wealthy families related to agriculture, commerce or administration.
