PAVILLON LOUIS XVI

The Louis XVI pavilion was built in 1779 for Jacques LACANS, general farmer of the gabelles. It is located in the former wine belt of Toulouse, along a road where parliamentarians in the second half of the 18th century bought properties for construction. Largely amputated by the Francazal aviation camp, this pavilion almost disappeared when the camp was established. To avoid this fate, it was included in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments on 25 June 1929. It is located Rue Henry Glady. It is an 18th century pavilion inspired by Jacques-Ange Gabriel. Decoration of 1790: stuccoes attributed to Jean-Baptiste Julia and canvases painted by an artist named Barthe (the canvases were deposited during the German occupation in 1943). This pavilion is U-shaped with two wings of outbuildings back on the courtyard. The south wing is occupied by a wine storehouse. Listed MH for its facade and roof - Listed MH for the pavilion. Paintings, decorated with arabesques alternating with garlands of flowers and foliage, enhanced with gold and medallions (landscapes) of symbols of the arts (music, architecture, sculpture) are subject to a classification under the title object.
