Origin and history

The building at 77 Durance Street in Pertuis is a building whose origins date back to the first half of the 16th century, with major changes in the 18th century. It is distinguished by preserved architectural elements, such as its street façade, roof, as well as a spiral staircase and a set of cellars. These characteristics led him to register under the Historical Monuments by order of 2 December 1988, specifically protecting those parts (cadastre K 306). The building is now owned by the municipality of Pertuis.

The location of the building, in the centre of Pertuis (Vaucluse department), reflects the medieval and modern town planning of this Provencal city. Durance Street, a historic artery, is home to several ancient buildings, reflecting the local architectural evolution between Renaissance and classical times. The cellars and staircases suggest a residential or artisanal function, typical of the urban buildings of this period. The inscription in the heritage protects these remains, while emphasizing their historical and aesthetic value.
