Origin and history

The building in Sorgues, Vaucluse, is a 14th century building, typical of medieval Provencal civil architecture. Its street façade and corresponding roof were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 14 October 1991, highlighting its heritage interest. The precise address, 300 rue Ducrès, is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 84129, attached to the municipality of Sorgues in the district of Avignon.

The location of the building, assessed as "passible" (note 5/10) in available sources, reflects the limitations of current geographic data. No information is provided on its contemporary use (visit, rental, accommodation), but its status as a Historic Monument suggests a recognized heritage value. Sources mention a Creative Commons license for associated photographs, indicating accessible visual documentation.

The fourteenth century in Provence was marked by a growing urban organization, where such buildings often served as housing for local merchants, artisans or notables. These buildings, with their characteristic facades, played a central role in structuring medieval cities, reflecting both residential and sometimes commercial functions. Their preservation today offers a tangible testimony of this time.
