Hôtel d'Agut

The Hôtel d'Agut features a heavy, sculpted wooden door framed by two massive stone caryatids that hold up a stone balcony. Built in the late seventeenth century for the d'Agut family, the residence served as a mark of their status among the local nobility. When the French Revolution arrived, Gaspard d'Agut, a magistrate, faced the mob. He died trying to defend this very doorstep, and the local committee confiscated the property to turn it into a center for the Revolutionary Tribunal.
