Origin and history

Hotel Thomassin de Tourtour is an iconic 18th-century mansion located at 10 rue de Montigny (formerly rue des Trois-Ormeaux) in Aix-en-Provence. This monument is characterized by a monumental gate, the only part classified as historical monuments since March 25, 1929. The building reflects the civil architectural style of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region during this period.

The precise location of the hotel is documented in the Mérimée and Monumentum bases, with an address confirmed in the historic center of Aix-en-Provence. Although sources mention approximate GPS coordinates, the accuracy of the location is assessed as poor (level 5/10). No information is available about its current accessibility or contemporary uses.

Aix-en-Provence, a city with a rich 18th-century heritage, had many private hotels belonging to the aristocracy or the local bourgeoisie. These urban residences served as both housing and social status symbols. Their architecture, often sober on the facade but richly decorated inside, reflected the classical and regional influences of the time.
