Timeline

Origin and history

The building located at 51-53 Carnot Street in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a 16th and 17th century building, representative of the civil architecture of this period. Ranked a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its facade on street and roof, protected by decree of 17 May 1974. These elements, listed as Historic Monuments, testify to the heritage importance of this building in the city's urban fabric.

The location of this building, in the centre of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, a municipality of Vaucluse in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, is part of a historical context marked by the development of Provencal cities. At that time, such buildings often served as residences for bourgeois families or artisans, reflecting the economic and social activity of the region. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the architectural and urban evolution of Provence.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the official address is 51-53 Carnot Street, although GPS coordinates suggest a close location at 40 Carnot Street. This disparity illustrates the challenges associated with the accuracy of geographic information for historical monuments. No additional information is provided on its current use, such as a possible opening to the public or conversion into guest rooms.
