Hotel voyageurs, former Hotel Gaillard, French Heritage monument to Aix les bains

Building plan near the square, covered of a gambrel roof, widely flowing in flat tiles. The building, located in a corner of streets, had its main façade facing the West, on the rue de Genève. It has a ground floor and two square storeys. A House with barn and Orchard, in l´exterieur of the ramparts, was mentioned at this location on the Sardinian cadastre of 1728. Between 1782 and 1820, a barn and stables were built in the Orchard (parcel 173). Hyacinthe Gaillard, Member d´une old family AIX and several times Councillor, became owner of all prior to 1820. It appears in the lists of wine as early as 1825 tobacconists. In 1836, he filed a request to reconstruct the facade of his house, rue de Genève, and two years after, in order to raise it. These works correspond to the creation of the hotel mentioned in the guides from 1853. François Gaillard, who succeeded his father in 1843, held a cabaret jusqu´en 1862, date in which he ceded l´affaire to son Hyacinthe. He hired numerous works, but in 1889, l´elargissement Street Daquin, resulted in the demolition of all the buildings. Hyacinthe Gaillard then rebuilt a new hotel along the enlarged Daquin Street.
