LOUIS XVI PAVILLON

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 prevent it from doing so, it was listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments on June 25, 1929. It is located in Rue Henry Glady.
