Origin and history

The Maison du Planet, located in Place Flavier in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, is an emblematic 16th century building. Classified as a Historical Monument in 1862, it also bears the name of Hotel Mistral-Mondragon, reflecting its architectural and historical importance in the region. This building is now associated with the Musée des Alpilles Pierre de Brun, strengthening its local cultural anchor.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône, is a town marked by a rich heritage, especially with the ancient Glanum site nearby. The region, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, was shaped by centuries of history, from antiquity to the French Revolution, where the Bouches-du-Rhône department was created in 1790. The Planet House is part of this historical context, illustrating the civil architecture of the Provencal Renaissance.

The Bouches-du-Rhône department, of which Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is part, is renowned for its diverse heritage, ranging from Roman monuments of Arles to the protected areas of Aix-en-Provence. The Planet House, as a listed Historic Monument, contributes to this cultural richness. Its early ranking in 1862 underscores its importance in the French architectural heritage, while at the same time testifying to 19th century preservation practices.

Today, the House of Planet is owned by the municipality of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Its association with the Musée des Alpilles Pierre de Brun makes it a place of memory and transmission of local heritage. This monument thus embodies both the medieval and reborn history of Provence, as well as the contemporary efforts to enhance this cultural legacy.
