Origin and history
Douzans House is an iconic building located in Banyuls-sur-Mer, in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Built in the 19th century, it stands out for its location at 1, rue Thomas-Pascal, close to the sea. This strategic location, between Avenue de la République and Rue Marius-Douzans, makes it a landmark in the city's urban fabric.
The originality of the Douzans house resides in the paintings of Aristide Maillol, preserved in a room on the ground floor. These works, integrated into architecture, contributed to its inscription as historic monuments on 27 January 2015. The protective order covers both facades, roofs and this iconic piece, highlighting its heritage importance.
The Douzans House illustrates the link between art and architecture in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Aristide Maillol, a renowned painter, left a lasting mark, transforming a residential building into a place full of cultural history. Its official ranking reinforces the visibility of Banyuls-sur-Mer as a territory marked by the artistic heritage of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Administratively, the house is referenced in the Merimée database under the code PA66000046, and its exact address is confirmed by the archives of the Ministry of Culture. The accuracy of its location, noted as "passible" (level 5/10), reflects the challenges of mapping historic buildings in dense urban areas.
