The 18th century in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and especially in Drôme, was marked by a rural society and dominant agricultural activities. The houses of that time, such as Urtin, often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables. Their architecture reflected construction techniques and decorative styles in vogue, while adapting to the practical needs of everyday life.
