A 17th-century convent building converted into a house with courtyard garden, swimming pool, independent studio flat and panoramic views in Tarascon. The house is in the immediate vicinity of one of the city's most emblematic religious monuments: the “Chapelle de la Persévérance”. The facade of this place of worship is an iconic example of Baroque architecture, with its segmental arch portal, framed by two pilasters with Ionic capitals featuring garlands of flowers and an entablature with a three-sided architrave, frieze and modillion cornice. The house and its outbuildings, directly abutting the chapel, leave little doubt as to its original use as a convent. Indeed, the house still bears some traces of its original vocation, in particular the decorative motifs of the ground floor vaults. Founded in 1677 as a home for 'girls of ill repute', the chapel and its associated establishment were entrusted to the care of the Sisters of Notre-Dame du Refuge. Like most establishments of this type, created under the royal “in commendam” system, this umpteenth 'convent for repentant girls' was a resounding moral failure and soon became a notorious 'place of perdition'. It took barely half a century for it to evolve from a convent to a brothel. So much so, in fact, that this highly conspicuous place was forced to close by royal decree on the accession of Louis XVI in 1774, a good fifteen years before the Revolution. In 1803, under the First Empire, the modest convent buildings were sold as national property destined to be used as stables. Some of these buildings remain part of the present-day property. As for the chapel, it was used for the catechism known as 'perseverance', an in-depth teaching of the scriptures that children used to follow after their solemn communion - a history to which its current name bears witness. Today, contemporary art exhibitions are held here throughout the year, providing a rare opportunity to visit the church and admire its rich Baroque decor.

An 18th-century country house of 600 m², with natural swimming pool, park and 19-hectare olive-growing estate, 15 minutes from Avignon TGV station. This is a bastide with a history that is not easily unveiled. Its Provence name, which means 'to preserve and respect', may well refer to a Masonic practice that existed in 18th-century lodges but has since disappeared. And it was precisely at this time that the bastide was built, probably on top of pre-existing medieval foundations. A symbol in the centre of the park's majestic wrought-iron entrance gate adds to the mystery: a hexagram, or 'Star of David', suggests that the estate may have belonged to a Jewish banker in the service of the Avignon papacy. However, there are no official records to support this hypothesis, which has become a local legend. It should be remembered that the hexagram is a decorative figure found in Christian, Hindu, Japanese and pre-Islamic Arab architectural symbolism; the six branches of the star representing the six days of work, with the seventh day, the day of rest, in the hollowed-out centre of the geometry. The residence, surrounded by around 4 hectares of wooded parklands, is situated at the south-east end of a 15-hectare olive grove, criss-crossed by chequered tracks. Some of the earth paths run alongside one of the high dykes protecting the property from the Rhone River, which provides the entire estate with a much-envied wealth of silt and a constant supply of water. The bastide, at once an aristocratic residence and a farmhouse, displays all the distinctive features of its particular architectural style. As the construction of such a complex always takes time, the square, affluent 18th-century buildings were extended at the beginning of the 19th century by two lower adjoining buildings. Not far away, a single-storey outbuilding dating from the late 19th century, used as a caretaker's lodge, ensures from a distance that the peace and quiet of the bastide, a true 'manor house' surrounded by its estate, is preserved.

Just a stone's throw from Avignon and Uzès, nestling on the side of a hill in the shelter of a major Gallic-Roman site and surrounded as far as the eye can see by famous vineyards, you'll find yourself wandering through the winding streets of this village, in a medieval setting between stone houses and the imposing Gothic-style church which, from its eagle's nest, seems to watch over an exceptional panorama. The town became rich and famous thanks to the cultivation of vines, which enabled it to surround itself with fortifications whose dual purpose was to consolidate its power and fulfil a defensive role. This 18th-century farmhouse was built in the heart of the village, which boasts a wealth of shops and service providers. It features 1,800m² of wooded parkland with a 5x10m swimming pool and pool house. The majestic hundred-year-old chestnut tree that dominates the garden could certainly tell many tales, but it is also happy to provide a welcome shade, alongside a few old mulberry trees that bear witness to a bygone economic activity: silkworm rearing. With 230 m² of living space, this residence includes, in addition to the main house, an independent guest house and numerous outbuildings, totalling approx. 200 m² that could be converted. There is a vast 68 m² living room with a fully equipped kitchen that benefits from the courtyard and garden. There are also a study and a small lounge, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the practical side, a well ensures abundant automatic watering, a garage provides parking for two cars and a workshop will delight DIY enthusiasts. Absolutely everything about this property exudes tranquillity and a quality of life that is so very appreciated in the South of France, as it is vital to everyone's harmonious development. Agency fees are to be paid by the vendor. A property offered exclusively by Botella and Sons (since 1989). Ref. 2507
