A 170m² ground-floor apartment with a garden, listed as a historical monument for its refined wallpaper paintings, nestled between Avignon and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The apartment lies on the ground floor of the Hôtel Senchon de Bournissac – a jewel in the crown of the town’s rich architectural heritage. At the start of the 18th century, François Senchon, a lawyer at the Parlement of Provence in the city of Aix-en-Provence, acquired some plots in this small town. These plots surrounded a courtyard. Here, Senchon began building his grand house in a calm spot far from urban bustle. Beyond a tall three-storey facade with a symmetrical arrangement of windows, a spacious stairwell with a fine balustrade connects to rooms with French-style beamed ceilings and offers a remarkable example of 18th-century architecture. Later, in the 19th century, thanks to the prosperity of the Senchon de Bournissac family, the elegant edifice was extended: a wing was built alongside the garden, its ground floor forming a vast gallery-like room. Today, this apartment lies in this extension. Remarkable decorative features inside also date back to this period. For example, in the two connecting rooms that look out at the street, the refined wallpaper paintings are still intact and ornate plaster works embellish the fireplace trumeau panels and the decorative panels above the doorways. The beauty and rarity of these decorative features prompted France’s cultural heritage authorities to register this apartment and other parts of the Hôtel Senchon de Bournissac as a listed historical monument by decree on 29 August 2000.

A flat on the ground floor of a chateau with its garden and pool, overlooking the Popes' Palace in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. Built during the French Third Republic by a rich industrialist from Avignon for his family, this manor house, which is called the 'château', stands exactly opposite the Palace of the Popes. Its exterior and interior architecture typifies the 'eclectic' style, inspired by both the Anglo-Norman neo-Tudor style and the Italianate style of the grand villas of the Riviera. Located at the top of what was once its park, covering nearly 5 hectares planted with centuries-old trees of various species, the château is now surrounded by various houses integrated into a densely wooded area part of the same secure co-ownership property. From a stately gate, wrought in the “Rothschild” style, access is via a long winding road, lined with large trees, maintained by the co-ownership property. On the east side, the château facade features two-coloured mixed cladding with alternating coursed rose brickwork and dressed stone. Resolutely asymmetrical, the facade is enriched with recesses, colonnades, 'reigning transoms' between the windows, archivolts and bulb-shaped balusters, spread over three levels forming a true encyclopaedia of architectural decorations, such as the 19th century loved to produce and which the 20th century described as 'kitsch'. On the ground floor, a four-columned portico with Ionic-inspired scrolls rises from a forecourt supporting a terrace linked to the garden by a wide stone staircase. At the top, a loggia is surmounted by an acroterion in the form of an upright acanthus leaf and a turret with a four-sided slate roof. The château is divided into six flats. The flat for sale occupies the entire ground floor with its own private garden, which is accessed separately from the rest of the property through the historic entrance to the château, a 'fin de siècle' veranda designed during the great era of ironwork.
