In Provence, in Roman Arles, a 18th-century patrician residence open to varied interpretations. The small street in immediate proximity to the arenas and the ancient theater belongs to the deepest soul of Gallo-Roman Arles. Every street, every stone, everything here is marked by history. Generations and buildings have succeeded one another, reinforcing the existing structures. The hill of Hauture, in the protected sector, preserves the monumental traces of imperial antiquity along with the architectural beauty brought to the city by the Provençal power of later epochs. This neighborhood has maintained its residential character with the extension over time of urban development to the west, as seen in all Western cities. A local scholar from the 19th century noted that the property, enclosed by walls, consisted of two houses in 1735 and had been sold at that time by a squire from Avignon. Oriented east-west, this stone building rises three levels in facade and offers approximately 290 m² of living space, set above a cellar basement suitable for maintaining the dwelling. The rectangular openings of the first two levels enclose the small panes of the windows under the arched entablature at a great height. The solid shutters have retained their wood and ironwork. Under the Roman tile roof, the old patinated plaster surfaces harmonize with the street. On the heavy wooden entrance door, the contours of the wooden work, the lowered arch of the stone entablature, and the typically rococo cartouche corroborate the architectural origins of the Regency-Louis XV edifice. Finally, the residence benefits from a concrete and landscaped terrace of about 40 m² on the first floor and, lower down, a garage with a similar area topped by a mezzanine, as well as a completely mineral back courtyard.
