La Mirande
History & Story
The hotel owes its name to the famous room in the Popes Palace, La Mirande, built by the representatives of the Popes to receive the city’s notables and high dignitaries passing through the city. Delivered cardinal in the 14th century, adorned with a beautiful baroque facade in the 17th century, the work of Pierre Mignard and finally, the private residence of the Pamard family (Paul Pamard was the mayor of Avignon from 1863 to 1875), La Mirande contains the traces of this history. The Stein family, who have owned the property ever since, carried out extensive research on the typicity of the styles and materials of the region before beginning the restoration, between 1987 and 1990. While some of the listed elements reflect the origins of La Mirande, the owners wanted to recreate the atmosphere of an 18th century aristocratic residence. By opening its doors in 1990 as a hotel-restaurant, LA MIRANDE is now recognized in the refinement of the private mansions of the Age of Enlightenment. A very French residence, the simple memory of the sweetness of life; a rare thing in the middle of the world.
