Origin and history

The Hotel located in Sens, in the department of Yonne in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a monument dated from the 18th century. This building, whose location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), is precisely at 9 Abélard Street. It has been partially protected since 1972, with an inscription covering its facade, its roof on courtyard, as well as its wall and entrance gate on street. These architectural elements reflect the style and construction techniques of this period.

The Hotel is now owned by a private company, which can influence its accessibility to the public. No information is available about its opening to the visit, any room rental or guest rooms. The Merimée database, together with Monumentum data, confirms its status as a Historic Monument, highlighting its heritage importance in the region.

The 18th century in Burgundy was marked by a society still very hierarchical, where private hotels like this often served as a residence for wealthy families or local notables. These buildings played a social and economic role, sometimes with activities related to trade, crafts or administration. Their architecture also reflected the stylistic influences of the era, blending classicism and Baroque ornaments as appropriate.
