Under the name '''Pierre Souffron''' are two brother architects from Périgord, sons of Jean Souffron.
It is quite difficult to distinguish them because they have worked in the same region, perhaps together and curiously have the same first name.<ref>J. de Carsalade du Pont, Notes sur les deux frères Souffron, Pierre Ier et Pierre II, architectes - Leur lieu d'origine, leur famille, leurs œuvres (1560-1630), Revue de Gascogne, Auch, 1898 [http://bit.ly/2EVUBqv Gallica BnF]</ref>
Can it be assumed that Pierre I worked mainly in [[Guyenne]] and that Pierre II exercised his art in Armagnac and Toulouse? Doubts may exist as for the attribution of the from 1599 to 1603 then for the <ref>[http://bit.ly/2EV4eF7 Château de Poyanne]</ref> between the two Pierre Souffron.
== Pierre I Souffron ==
Pierre I Souffron, or Pierre Souffron the elder, was born in [[La Roque-Gageac]] around 1555 and died in [[La Réole]] in 1621.<ref>Charles Braquehaye, ''L'architecte Pierre Souffron, 1555-1621'', [[Plon]], Paris, 1896 [http://bit.ly/2EVUD1B Gallica BnF]</ref>
He married Guillardine Marmande, sister of a notary of La Réole. He had a son, Jean Souffron, first a man of arms in the German Boissy Regiment before becoming a lawyer in the , and a daughter, Madeleine.
He also had a brother, Eyméric, ordinary commissioner of the king's artillery, and a sister, Madeleine, who married Domenge de La Porterie, master mason in Marmande who built the Villeneuve-d'Agen bridge. His sister, now a widow, remarried at Cadillac Castle on August 8, 1601.
It is said to be the lord of the noble house of Cros, or of Cos, architect for the king in his duchy of Albret, architect for the king in his house of Navarre.
In 1609, he was called upon to inspect the work done at the [[Auch Cathedral]] by his brother.
In P. Palanque's article on "Pierre Souffron, master architect of the city of Auch" he attributes to his brother titles that belong to him. He was probably in Auch in 1594 when he signed, with the architect Pierre Lemoyne, the contract to demolish the castle of [[Rabastens]] at the request of . The work was paid for in 1595.

Pierre II Souffron, or Pierre Souffron the younger, was born in [[La Roque-Gageac]] around 1558 and died in [[Toulouse]] on 26 October 1649.
He married Barthélemye Rouède, sister of Pierre Rouède, Canon of the Cathedral and Abbot of Sère, in Auch on 9 December 1588. It is stated in the marriage contract originating from Sarlat and master architect of the cathedral. From his marriage he had a son and a daughter.

On the [[Auch Cathedral|Cathedral of St. Mary of Auch]], he mainly intervened on the maintenance of the church and the canonical buildings. The vaults of the choir were laid by [[Pierre Levesville]] between 1618 and 1620, and in 1609 he built the main altar of the choir.
He was working on the cathedral of Sainte-Marie d'Auch when the curators of the Toulouse bridge decided to associate an expert to Dominique Capmartin.<ref>Note: Dominique Capmartin is an architect. At the end of the 16th century, he was master of the royal works and reparations in the . In 1599, he directed the construction work on the Saint-Cyprien bridge in Toulouse, which had begun in 1543 with [[Nicolas Bachelier]] (Émile Bellier de La Chavignerie, ''Dictionnaire général des artistes de l'école française, depuis l'origine des arts du dessin jusqu'en 1882 inclusivement : peintres, sculpteurs, architectes, graveurs et lithographes - Supplément'', , Vve H. Loones, Paris,[http://bit.ly/2EW495c (read online))]</ref> the new Master of the Royal Works and Repairs of the Senechausea of Toulouse.

The next day he went to visit the construction site of the [[Pont Neuf, Toulouse]]<ref>[http://bit.ly/2ESuobG Georges Costa ''L'œuvre de Pierre Souffron au Pont Neuf de Toulouse'', Mémoires de la Société Archéologique du Midi de la France]</ref> with Capmartin.
By an act concluded on 31 May 1594, his father, Jean Souffron, a native of La Roque-Gaugeac, a resident of the town of [[Lauzun]] in Agenais, gave him 400 écus sol, and ''de la part qu'il a sur le moulin de Laucque, sur la rivière du Dropt en la terre de Caissac en Agenois''.
On June 3, 1606, "Pierre Souffron, architect of the church of Sainte-Marie d'Aux and builder of the bridge of Saint Subran de Tholoze", made a deal with ''Messyre Jean de Bessoles, seigneur dudict lieu, Boumont'' (Beaumont, near Condom), ''Moissan et autres places''. Souffron undertook to build the castle of [[Beaumont, Gers|Beaumont]]<ref>: Château de Beaumont</ref> in eighteen months.
Between 1609 and 1612, he was the architect of the Hotel de Clari, [[Hôtel de Bagis]] or stone hotel of Toulouse where he built the wing with the stone facade on the street.<ref>Bruno Tollon, ''Hôtels de Toulouse'', , in ''Congrès archéologique de France. 154e session. Monuments en Toulousain et Comminges. 1996'', Société Française d'Archéologie, Paris, 2002</ref>

He then left Auch to settle in Toulouse in a house owned by his wife. His grandson, Pierre Nogaro, opposed this marriage before the official of Auch. Pierre Nogaro, grandson of Pierre Souffron was married on June 27, 1644 with Marie de Chanaille by the Vicar General of the Archbishop of Auch.
On April 3, 1646, he gave his nephew, Jean Souffron, a lawyer at the Bordeaux Parliament, power of attorney to go to the King's Council in Paris to plead his case because he was owed 70000 [[French livre|livres]] for the materials of the Pont Neuf de Toulouse and obtain an order to pay these sums.
