Origin and history

The house at 10 Félicien-David Street in Aix-en-Provence is a private hotel whose most remarkable element is its monumental door. This building, although little documented in available sources, has a heritage interest recognized by the French authorities. The door, the only protected part, bears witness to an architectural style peculiar to bourgeois houses in the region.

The protection of the monumental door by decree of 10 April 1929 underlines its historical and aesthetic importance. This type of house, typical of Provençal cities like Aix-en-Provence, reflects the urban planning and way of life of the affluent classes at the times when these buildings were erected. Private hotels often served as residences for influential families, while playing a role in local social and cultural life.

Today, although practical information about his visit or current use is scarce, this monument remains a testimony to the architectural heritage of Aix. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments guarantees its preservation, while offering an overview of the urban history of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The available data, from sources such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, concentrate mainly on its location and legal protection, without details of its exact origin or its former occupants.
