En source Provence Guide:
This building belonged to the Laurens family in the 17th century. The mansion was sold to Frédéric de Langes, Lord of Lubières, in 1679. In 1684, the latter became president of the Orange Parliament. In 1702, the de Lubières family, expelled for remaining Protestant, emigrated to Switzerland. Acquired by the city in 1713, the Hôtel de Lubières has become the Orange Town Hall. Expanded and transformed, its facade and architectural ensemble are different from the original buildings.
