Inscription. L’hôtel de Rouvil appartenait à une vieille famille de Bonnieux. Cet hôtel particulier est devenu la nouvelle maison commue en 1859, maison commune initialement installée rue Droite «rue étroite et escarpée qui n’est plus convenable au service de la population et aux besoins des services . Pour des raisons similaires, la mairie sera transférée en bas du village en 2006. Une tour devait être construite place de la justice pour y recevoir la nouvelle horloge. Ce projet est abandonné au profit de l’hôtel de Rouvil; la façade nord ouest porte l’horloge et un clocheton à campanile en fer forgé. La salle des mariages est un ancien salon d’apparat. Une cave taillée dans la roche témoigne d’une utilisation plus ancienne. Après un large escalier, un portail, à l’entablement ornementé, encadré de deux pilastres et surmonté d’un fronton à corniche, s’ouvre sur une petite cour intérieure. Face à l’hôtel, une belle demeure, vraisemblablement construite sur des assises médiévales, a été l’object de nombreux remaniements au cours des siècles (porte d’entrée en plein cintre, encadrement traité à la Floretine). Côté nord, une autre entrée donne sur un jardin en une habitation qui à abrité au XIXeme siècle l’ecole de garcons, puis dans les années 50/60 l’école ménagère de jeudi pour filles. Les escaliers en calade ont été restaurés en 2000; c’est

Old City Hall or Hotel Rouvil
The hotel Rouvil belonged to an old family of Bonnieux. This particular hotel became the new home commute in 1859, common house originally installed rue Droite "steep and narrow street that is most convenient to serve the population and service needs. For similar reasons, the town hall was transferred down the village in 2006.

A tower was to be built at the judicial court to receive a new clock. This project is dropped in favor of the hotel Rouvil, the front door northwest clock and a little steeple with wrought iron campanile. The wedding hall is an ancient ceremonial room. A cave carved into the rock shows to be more ancient. After a broad staircase, a portal to the ornate entablature, flanked by two pilasters and topped by a pediment cornice, opens onto a small courtyard. Front of the hotel, a mansion, probably built on a medieval foundation, was the object of many changes over the centuries (gate in the arch received a Florentine framing treatment).

On the North side, another entrance opens onto a garden with a house that sheltered a nineteenth century the school of boys, and in the years 50/60 school for young housewives.
