Origin and history

La Maison Lhote, located in Gordes in the department of Vaucluse, is a historical monument whose facade was inscribed by ministerial decree on 28 October 1949. This building, emblematic of local architecture, bears the name of André Lhote, an artist whose adjacent street also derives its name. Although the details of its original construction or use are not specified, its inscription bears witness to its heritage importance in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

Gordes, a village typical of Provence, has long been a place of life marked by agriculture, crafts and, later, by the attraction of artists and tourists. Historical houses like this often reflect the social and cultural evolution of the region, serving as housing, workshops or meeting places. Their preservation allows us to understand the way of life and local architectural traditions throughout the centuries.
