Origin and history
La Maison de la Reine Jeanne, located at 24bis rue Saint-Étienne in Avignon, is a building whose facade was classified as Historic Monument by order of 20 May 1927. This building, although little documented in the available sources, bears the name of an emblematic figure of medieval Provence, thus evoking a link with local and regional history. Its inscription in the title of Historic Monuments underscores its heritage interest, particularly for its architecture or its supposed past.
Avignon, a city marked by its central role during the papacy in the 14th century, preserves many testimonies of its rich medieval and reborn past. Historical houses such as Queen Jeanne's often illustrate the way of life of the urban elites of the time, although the precise details of its occupants or its original function are lacking in the accessible archives. The protection of its façade in 1927 reflects a desire to preserve this heritage, typical of the conservation policies of the early twentieth century in France.
