This elegant 18th century residence was built by Joseph Balthazard des Laurents. It has a very beautiful porch and its courtyard was once surrounded by the pebbles of the Durance.

The Laurents family, of Piedmontese origin, had settled at the beginning of the 16th century in a mansion, Plan de Lunel, in Avignon. A powerful and influential family from Avignon, they had made the Hôtel de Tingry their country residence. The last heir was Eléonore Pulchérie des Laurents, wife of Charles François Christian Montmorency-Luxembourg, Prince of Tingry, who gave her name to this mansion.

From 1781 to 1789, the Princess of Tingry gave asylum to the Count of Rantzau, captain of the guards of the King of Denmark, Christian VII. The count had fled Denmark for having participated in a plot against Queen Caroline Mathilde. His tomb is in the garden of the Citadel.
