[1] The Hotel d'Ulmo is located at 15 rue Ninau, in the historical center of Toulouse, and was built between 1526 and 1536 on an old and important building of the 16th century for the magistrate Jehan de Ulmo.

His motto "Durum Patientia frango" engraved above the portal of the hexagonal tower, translates as: "My perseverance triumphs over everything."

This modern and probably pioneering distribution in Toulouse was somewhat disturbed by the opening of the access passage to the garden (18th or 19th century).

The porch pavilion, with its marble balusters and stone dome, is probably from the 17th century.

It is possible, however, that a canopy of the sixteenth century which was then in the courtyard of the Parlement of Toulouse served as a model for this one.
