The widow of Jacques Arbaud purchased the left-side Hôtel de Valbelle-Meyrargues in 1695 and her son André-Elzéard d'Arbaud de Jouques (1676-1744) purchased the right-side Hôtel de Séguiran some time later.[2][3] They were converted in one hôtel particulier in 1732: the hôtel d'Arbaud-Jouques by the architect Jean-Baptiste Franque (1683-1758).[1][3] His son Joseph Charles André d'Arbaud de Jouques (1769-1849) and his brother also lived here.
King Charles IV of Spain (1748–1819) stayed here as a guest in 1812.[1]
