In the Pays de Fayence, in the village of Montauroux, a house steeped in memory, open to Provençal landscapes. This substantial house, known as Jardin Bourgarel, was built between 1890 and 1892. The Bishop of Marseille blessed it in 1893, and the east elevation retains a marble plaque whose Latin inscription records the ceremony. A private passage leads from the street along the property's annexe to the main house and the garden. A path beyond the iron gate runs to the double-leaf entrance door, in carved timber, at the foot of the west facade. Trees shelter the house, which comes discreetly into view amid filtered light, stone, and foliage.
The family house occupies a central position on the village hill. It stands out for its tall, slender silhouette and light-coloured facade. Rising on three levels above the cellars, the house has windows with moulded surrounds and blue-grey louvred shutters. Its terracotta-tiled gabled roof has a dormer, also gabled, whose pediment and rendered cheeks are in keeping with the facade's ordered composition. The house has extensive land around it, laid out in successive restanques (the dry-stone terracing of Provence) that follow the natural slope of the hill. Stone walls, olive trees, Mediterranean vegetation, and once-cultivated areas create a stepped landscape beyond the property's immediate surroundings.
