House Tarascon (13)

A 19th-century town house to be renovated with a floor area of 280m², a patio garden and a terrace, nestled between the cities of Arles and Avignon in southern France. The dwelling is tucked away in the Saint-Nicolas district of Tarascon. It is a typical example of a traditional Provençal town house. Several generations of local merchants lived in this dwelling for a whole century. The house was probably built not long after the French Revolution at a time when a merchant class was starting to thrive, gaining wealth from famous fairs and markets in the local region. The facade has been entirely restored with old-style rendering on the ground floor. An even pattern of limestone blocks with pointing is left exposed on the first and second floors. Like most houses in this historical district of Tarascon, the dwelling was built with Fontvieille limestone on the remains of pre-existing Roman and medieval constructions. Inside, the edifice has kept several original decorative features from the Middle Ages, including an even bond of stonework in the load-bearing walls, strong arched lintels above doors and intriguing vaulted passages. Outside, on the street, the house proudly displays its large, thick shutters. These shutters, made of wood and painted, are typical of the Arlesian style and they characterise Provence’s age-old craftsmanship. The shutter above the main entrance has kept its little hatch, or spy hole, which would be looked through, without the observer being noticed, to see who was knocking at the door when all the shutters were closed. The house is nestled on a calm pedestrian street in the town centre. This road is an integral part of a symmetrical layout that offers a harmonious urban view: your gaze is drawn to a baroque theatre in a former chapel of the Order of Preachers and a small square beside it. Both were recently restored masterfully. Fine town houses stand along the main street that runs past the theatre and the square. The flagship site of a well-known firm of Provençal fabrics also lies on a nearby street. Tarascon is this firm’s historical birthplace. The dwelling’s roof of old red barrel tiles has been restored. Much of the interior needs to be renovated.

House Tarascon (13)

A vast 17th century mansion, its outbuildings and its garden, a stone's throw from a medieval royal castle, at the gateway to the Camargue. Neither listed nor classified, this imposing mansion is a miraculous survivor of the Second World War. During the Liberation battles in Provence, because of its strategic position on the banks of the Rhône, Tarascon was badly hit by Allied air raids and a fifth of its surface area was destroyed. The entire section of the town between the railway station and the bridge over the Rhône was razed to the ground. The “Cours National” - pronounced 'course” by locals - developed in 1862 in the Provençal tradition as a vast space for leisure, socialising and shopping, was not spared. Rumour has it that in the 18th century, the untouched mansion housed members of the family of the explorer and naval officer Jean-François de Lapérouse, earning it for a time the nickname 'Hôtel de Lapérouse'. However, this story has never been documented. Apparently, the name of the family who originally built this edifice has been lost forever in the arcane of Provençal history. The mansion was probably sold as national property to local merchants during the French Revolution; these and others who followed ran it as a commercial and residential rental building with shops on the ground floor throughout the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. Today, the ground floor houses business premises which have replaced the reception rooms of the past. The outbuildings served as a coaching inn for the Vallabrègues stagecoach between the 17th and 19th centuries. They have been converted into various premises, flats, a garage and a warehouse flat which extends under the perfectly restored vaulted ceiling of the former stables. The building complex - mansion and extensions - has five independent entrances opening onto the courtyard and a small perpendicular street, taking up its corner and a good part of its length.

House with pool Tarascon (13)

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.

Bastide Tarascon (13)

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.

House Tarascon (13)

A small eighteenth-century town house with a patio, nestled on a calm, elegant street in the heart of the old Provençal town of Tarascon. From the fifteenth century, the prosperity of Tarascon drew many families: aristocrats as much as merchants and upper middle classes. Clergymen also came. These newcomers built grand private houses: they were keen to leave their mark on the town. The town houses of Tarascon often display rich architectural embellishments in the style of Provençal Mannerism, which dominated in the seventeenth century. But some of these town houses were also plain and small. Since the Middle Ages, town houses have been defined as simply urban dwellings occupied by single owners, so their size does not really determine their category. It was mainly from the eighteenth century onwards that small town houses – those with a floor area of less than 300m² – were built along commercial streets within Tarascon itself, where they were sheltered from the cold mistral wind of winter and from the hot sun of summer. They were made for wealthy merchants rather than for nobility and their style differs to that of grand, sumptuous palaces. The bombings of the Second World War damaged Tarascon but left almost all these old town houses intact: these historical dwellings were not close to the town’s strategic rail line, nor to the bridge across the River Rhône. These homes were often built upon ruins from the Middle Ages or antiquity and they all adopted a similar layout. Moreover, they are all made of the same fine materials: old monk-and-nun tiling, large tiles of grey Barbentane stone, wrought-iron window railings and walls made of limestone from the quarries of Les Baux-de-Provence and Fontvieille. Furthermore, they often reused fragments of column shafts from antiquity. Indeed, reuse of materials from the old remains upon which they were built is a constant feature among them.

Mas Tarascon (13)

A 17th century fortified farmhouse with its dovecote and convertible outbuildings between the Alpilles and the Camargue, in need of renovation. The date 1633, engraved in the stone above the entrance porch, could be misleading: the ancient rampart wall of stone from the Fontvieille quarries with its exposed corbels probably goes back much further. An iron gateway has been installed behind the heavy oak entrance doors. Two old barns, one of which was probably an oratory, frame the main building, which faces north-east/south-west. On the outer walls of the fortified building, animal ex-votos are carved into the limestone, bearing witness to the golden age of the local bullfighting traditions called 'bouvine”, under the impetus of the 'gentleman-guardian' Folco de Baroncelli. In the former hayloft, the pinkish-coloured Douglas fir beams support a fully restored monk-and-nun tile roof. The eaves feature a corbelled overhang ending in a traditional three-row frieze. A few openings protected by single-leaf shutters brighten up the main building. A dovecote topped by a four-sided roof set in the corner of the perimeter wall reflects the aristocratic status of the family that erected the estate and lived here for several centuries.
