History
The building was constructed by Pierre Aublé, like a certain number of beautiful architectures in Saint-Raphaël, such as the Notre Dame de la Victoire Church.
'Le Grand Hôtel' was one of the most prestigious hotels on the Côte d'Azur, its inauguration dating from March 11, 1880. In 1958, it was ceded to a Franco-Armenian committee for the creation of a reception structure for elderly people of Armenian origin.
This committee, facing difficulties, was dissolved, the High Commissioner for Refugees then entrusted the Armenian Home to A.A.A.S., for an opening on May 19, 1959.
The establishment, approved by Social Aid, was rehabilitated in 1990. Today, we welcome residents of all origins.
On September 17, 1978, the Saint-Jean Chapel, built in the park of the Armenian Home, was inaugurated. It is the only Armenian Church in the Var.
Several times a year ceremonies are celebrated there, and especially every August 15, the grape is blessed according to Armenian tradition.
This date is the great meeting of the French Armenian community, which gathers around Armenian animations and buffets.
