Origin and history

Hotel Tissier de la Motte is a private hotel located in Angers, built around 1830 as part of a concerted development of three hotels. This project is attributed by oral tradition to architect Joseph Desnoyers, although stylistic similarities with works by Sébastien Dellestre, architect of the hotel located boulevard du Roi-René, are also noted. The sponsors identified are members of the family Mame, famous family of printers, as well as François-Augustin Daburon de Mantelon, each having funded a separate part of the whole.

The facades and roofs of the central hotel (n°12 boulevard Bessonneau) have been protected since 29 October 1975 by an inscription as historical monuments. The communes of this hotel are of origin, while those of neighbouring hotels (n°10 and 14) seem to date from the third quarter of the 19th century, suggesting further developments. The official address registered at the Mérimée base is 10-14 boulevard Bessonneau, in the department of Maine-et-Loire.

This monument reflects the urbanization and bourgeois residential architecture of Angers in the 19th century, marked by the influence of local industrial families. Its style and layout recall other contemporary achievements in the city, such as Hotel Flore or Rogemont, located on Rue Chevreul, or the subdivision of the boulevard du Roi-René. These sets reflect the urban expansion and development of the affluent neighbourhoods at this time.
