SUMPTUOUS 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN UPPER PROVENCE - Luberon - 13 Hectares - Superb view - Listed Historic Monument - 1 hour from Aix-en-Provence - Forcalquier - Provence. In a sublime landscape with views stretching for several kilometers, this classical palace built around 1720 perfectly illustrates the French art of living during the Regency period, worthy of the film Que la fête commence. The architectural magnificence of what is considered the finest 18th-century chateau in Provence is matched only by the extraordinary effort required to build it during the last plague epidemic in Europe, in Marseille from 1720 to 1722, combined with colossal financial means born from the financial euphoria of John Law's banking system. A work by the great Parisian architect Pierre-Alexis Delamair, who designed the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris, now home to the National Archives, its construction was entrusted to Jean-Baptiste Franque, who created some of the finest 18th-century monuments in Provence, notably in Aix and Avignon. Its 18th-century classical architecture, strongly inspired by Parisian and Versailles architecture, is particularly refined, classical and symmetrical, centered around a projecting central section with three bays of French windows beneath a large pediment. It is known as the “Trianon of Provence”. Its gables are equally remarkable, with extremely rich sculptures, elaborate wrought-iron balconies, and on the park side, overlooking from a broad terrace the vast formal French gardens recently recreated, the central projection of the façade displays a sumptuous portico of four fully rounded columns, exceptionally rare for a private residence in the 18th century, as such elements inspired by Antiquity were reserved for the highest-ranking figures connected to the royal family. Inside, beneath ceilings reaching 5.3 meters high and flooded with light from every direction, the entrance hall opens onto the grand 80 m² reception salon. It is decorated with pilasters topped by Ionic capitals, echoed by monumental free-standing columns leading to the majestic staircase, entirely open through its grand flight of steps rising to the upper floor, populated with columns forming balconies dramatically overlooking the hall. It is undoubtedly one of the finest private 18th-century staircases in France. The ground floor opens on every side into a sequence of reception rooms with very restrained décor, left unfinished in the 18th century after the collapse of Law's banking system in 1720, in which the Forbin family, patrons of the property, are said to have participated. A grand salon, a music room adorned with a balustrade, a salon with alcove and niche, a large dining room with a neo-Gothic fireplace, an entrance hall on the south gable at the location of the former chapel, two large rooms used as visitor boutiques, and a mezzanine apartment with 3 bedrooms. Linen room, WC.

A billiard-library adorned with magnificent 19th-century wallpapers. A chapel. A large attic. Large and beautiful vaulted stone cellars. Wine cellars. Tunnel. Central heating in part of the chateau.

Aix-Nord, 10 mn drive from Puyricard. Contemporary architecture in perfect harmony with nature. This house embodies a minimalist contemporary style, where every line seems to interact with its natural surroundings. At first glance, the architectural design is characterised by bold horizontal forms, a flat roof with pronounced overhangs, and a fluid layout that opens out onto the outdoors. The design favours the simplicity of geometric forms, in a resolutely modern spirit. The façades, clad in light-coloured render, capture the light and contrast subtly with the dark joinery, enhancing the project’s elegance. A perfectly balanced relationship between interior and exterior. The wide, continuous bay windows blur the boundaries between the interior and the garden. They provide constant light, visual transparency, and a continuous immersion in the wooded landscape.

The existing trees have been preserved and play a full part in the atmosphere of the site, providing shade, coolness and privacy. A warm, contemporary aesthetic Despite the clean lines of its design, the house exudes a genuine sense of comfort and serenity. The play of light in the evening, visible through the large windows, reveals a vibrant, warm and lived-in architectural design. In short: a home that combines modernity, elegance and a certain art de vivre, designed to make the most of the light and the surrounding natural environment.

30 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, in a large characterful bastide, a duplex and its private garden on a 3-hectare private estate. On the estate, in addition to the castle which served as a wine cellar during Roman times, three bastides were built in the 17th century. One of them underwent a complete restoration about fifteen years ago with quality materials by a renowned architect, who divided it into apartments. The large bastide, surrounded by vineyards and accessible from an iron gate framed by two stone pillars, consists of several buildings of different shapes and heights. The walls of the buildings have been coated with yellow ochre lime. The whole is topped with typical two-pitched roofs made of canal tiles. On the east side of the central building, a courtyard with two stone basins is lined with plane trees. The clever layout of the windows of the apartments, protected by wooden shutters, and the adjoining gardens, allows for the privacy of each resident. The elegance of the building is highlighted by the cypress trees planted on either side. At the back, an olive grove and a large swimming pool serve as a communal space. A little further down, an additional area has been created and serves as parking space for residents.This description has been automatically translated from French.
