Origin and history

The Petitjean de Rotalier hotel is a historical monument located in Lons-le-Saunier, in the Jura department (region Burgundy-Franche-Comté). Built around 1709, this mansion is located near the old north gate of the city walls, testifying to the urbanism of the first 18th century. Its initial architecture, characteristic of the bourgeois mansions of the period, was partially transformed in the mid-19th century by the addition of a neo-classical gallery and interior redevelopments, reflecting the aesthetic tastes of this period.

The monument is distinguished by its housing body as well as its protected outbuildings: facades and roofs of the sheds, the stake, the greenhouse and orangery. A wall of enclosure and portals, including a water supply between the courtyard and the garden, complete this set. These elements, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 4 July 1996, illustrate both the residential function and the social prestige associated with this type of property. The official address, 1 Place Perraud, would be located in the historic heart of Lons-le-Saunier, although GPS coordinates suggest a nearby location at 8 rue Georges Trouillot.

The location of the hotel, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), reveals the limits of available geographical data. There is no information on its current accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation), but its status as a monument makes it a protected heritage, representative of the architectural and urban evolution of the Franche-Comté between the 18th and 19th centuries.
