Location
It is located at 24, rue Mignet on one side and the rue Lisse-Saint-Louis on the other side, in Aix-en-Provence.[1][2][3]
History
It was built for Joseph-Anne de Valbelle de Tourves (1648-1722) in 1655, when he was only seven years old.[1][2] He later served as President a mortier of the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence. The hotel was restored and expanded by his great-grandson, Joseph-Alphonse-Omer de Valbelle (1729-1818), in the eighteenth century.[1]
It currently houses the under-prefecture.[2] As of June 2013, the sous-prefecture is hoping to sell it for €9 million, while the city council would only be willing to purchase it for €3.5 million; thus its future ownership is uncertain.[4]
Heritage significance
It has been listed as a monument historique since 1983.[1]
