Origin and history

This house, located in 1 Place Saint-Didier in Avignon, is a monument classified among the Historical Monuments. Although its period of construction is not specified in the available sources, it is distinguished by protected architectural elements, including a statue of the Virgin, its niche and a lantern, located on the west wall. These elements were formally registered by ministerial decree in 1949, highlighting their heritage and historical value.

Avignon, the emblematic city of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, is known for its rich architectural and religious heritage. Historical houses, like this one, often reflect urban change and local cultural practices. In this context, the religious statues integrated into the facades reflect the importance of Marian devotion in everyday life and public space, particularly in the southern regions of France.

The location of this monument, specified as being of fair quality (note 5/10), indicates that its location is known but may require additional verification. The house is referenced in the Mérimée base, an essential tool for the inventory of French heritage, under the code Insee 84007, corresponding to the commune of Avignon in the department of Vaucluse.

Practical information on access to the public, such as visiting or renting, is not mentioned in available sources. This suggests that the monument could be a private property or a place whose current use is not specifically dedicated to the tourist visit.
