While he was legate of Avignon, Cardinal Julien de la Rovere, future Pope Jules II, established a college in the livrée (Cardinal’s palace) of Poitiers, the Collège du Roure. It was joined to the Collège Saint-Nicolas-d’Annecy in 1709, and the buildings were sold to Jean-Baptiste Reynaud de Forbin de Galéans des Issarts, seigneur de Sainte-Croix. He commissioned the plans for the hôtel to Jean-Baptiste Franque, which he began developing in 1718. www.avignon.fr/en/visites/visite2en.php
