The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Les trois chalets appartiennent à la grande architecture thermale cosmopolite du 19e siècle. Construits entre 1848 et 1855. Par leur style inspiré de l'architecture suisse, ils illustrent l'une des deux tendances architecturales de l'urbanisme luchonnais à cette époque. A côté des modèles néo-classiques inspirés de l'antiquité romaine, ils proposent des habitations intimes, chaleureuses, où s'épanouit le goût alpin pour le décor en bois. Ils inaugurent également, en tant que premiers immeubles "de rapport" à Luchon, la saison de villégiature mondaine que connaîtra la ville sous le Second Empire.

History
The three chalets belong to the great cosmopolitan thermal architecture of the 19th century. Built between 1848 and 1855. By their style inspired by Swiss architecture, they illustrate one of the two architectural tendencies of Luchon's urban development at that time. Alongside neo-classical models inspired by Roman antiquity, they propose intimate, warm dwellings, where the Alpine taste for wood decoration flourishes. They also inaugurate, as the first rental buildings in Luchon, the season of fashionable villégiature that the town would experience under the Second Empire.
