Origin and history
The house Issaurat is a 17th-century bourgeois residence in Salernes, Var department. It stands out for its architecture adapted to a steeply steep terrain, with vaulted cellars, two square floors and a floor of attic. The house, divided into two distinct parts, combines a coherent structure at the front and heterogeneous additions at the back, organized around a central corridor and a stairwell.
Acquired in 1684 by the Issaurat family, an affluent family of Salernes, the house was enlarged in 1719 by the purchase of a nearby building. In 1685 Balthazard Issaurat entrusted the brothers Louis and Joseph Aurenges, masons of Cotignac, with gypsum work, including a staircase suspended with balusters and chimneys. Sold in 1796, it was divided into several apartments, and its cellars were converted into vats for the wine trade in the 19th century.
In 2021, the Issaurat House was listed as a historic monument and was protected for its building on the street and its tanks in the cellars. It bears witness to the social and economic history of Salernes, particularly through its link with local wine production and its architectural evolution over the centuries.
