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.

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.

An enchanting 400m² apartment with a garden, court and patio in a 16th-century town mansion listed as a historical monument in southern France's Camargue region. The majestic fortified mansion was listed as a historical monument in 1943 in the middle of the Second World War. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. It was built in around 1530 during the first French Renaissance and it bears the main traits of this period. The edifice stands where several paths of history meet. This crossroads is both literal and figurative. It lies just south of the town’s royal collegiate church and the fortified chateau of René of Anjou. The house was the jewel in the crown of the medieval town’s aristocratic district, which showcased sumptuous princely homes up to the Second World War when the Allied bombings, carried out to liberate France, razed these gems to the ground. Among the ruins, this mansion was the only survivor from the district’s past splendour. In the 1950s, the charming home had to start sharing the company of soulless concrete blocks of accommodation born of the frenzied drive to rebuild liberated France and urgently rehouse its people based on a post-war Corbusian model of architecture. So the edifice is now at a junction between two worlds, where the Middle Ages and contemporary design collide, between two pivotal chapters in France’s long story. The building illustrates this poignantly: it seems to be turning its back on the royal chateau to face the modern housing nearby. It is guarded by tall walls that it inherited from its initial propose as a fortified house. These walls separated it from the nearby royal chateau and protected it from any devastating flooding from the River Rhône. Its old facade looks south at a range of 1950s brutalist buildings. To tone down this sharp contrast between historical architecture and modern structures, the local authorities added vegetation to the large paved square in front of the mansion, planting a cypress and olive trees here. Before then, this square was in a state of decline. Now it is a no-parking area. From this pleasant square, the property’s large entrance gate leads into the main courtyard of this Italian-style palace.

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.

In the Camargue region of Provence, in a 16th-century, entirely renovated convent, a 600-m² distinguished home, nestled amid the peace and quiet of its tree-filled courtyards. Left in ruins for decades, the imposing convent was almost completely restored at the end of the 20th century, thanks to private initiatives. Bringing life back to the former convent, a property transaction then split the surface area into several distinguished residences, linked to one another via a tree-filled enclosure. One of its two entrances, on the side of the Mother Superior’s house, opens onto a small side street while the other one, monumental and vaulted, is now closed with a gate. The residence, of approximately 600 m², built in the noblest part of the convent, barely occupies a quarter of it, a proportion that alone conveys the gigantism of the original edifice. The neighbouring homes are occupied by lovers of architectural heritage keen to make this downtown enclosed space into one of the calmest and most secret places in Tarascon. Today, the vestiges of the former convent blend with those from the medieval hospital that pre-existed it, and of which it is not uncommon to discover, around a staircase or window, remaining ornamental features, traces of the historical upheavals that affected the town of Tarascon. In the 16th century the city decided to build a new hospital, thereby selling the premises of the former Saint Nicholas hospital, built in the 11th century to receive the poor and treat the ill, to the Order of Saint Ursula. Built upon the initiative of the Countess Etiennette of Provence, its chapel was consecrated by Pope Urban II upon his return from the first crusade. In 1657, in the former seat of Saint Nicolas, the sisters from the same order created, in their own right, their own institution for the free education of young girls. Founded in Italy in 1535 by Saint Angela Merici, the Order of Saint Ursula, first called the “Company of Saint Ursula”, arrived in France nearly immediately after its foundation, and progressively settled in the Comtat Venaissin as well as Bordeaux.

A completely restored late 18th-century tonwhouse with its three connecting enclosed courtyards in Tarascon. 'To live happily, live hidden' was the motto of the many famous people who have taken refuge behind the thick walls of the Tarascon houses. These discreet and silent houses are hidden behind medieval street corners, in little courtyards, under the shade of a church or a cluster of laurel trees. As soon as their doors are pushed open, they open onto lush gardens or refreshing landscaped courtyards. Next to all sizes of mansions, from the most sophisticated to the most discreet, alongside former convents, and the solid showy buildings built by rich merchants under the vast Renaissance porticoes, also to be found are surprisingly the more modest dwellings of fishermen with their indescribable charm that have recently aroused a great deal of interest. That is certainly the case for this unassuming house. Like many others in the area, it was built at the end of the 18th century for fishermen who depended on the Rhône as their source of food. Built in stone from the Boulbon and Fontvieille quarries or in blocks salvaged from Roman monuments and rendered in a pale colour, these small dwellings are generally two storeys high. Their facades have generous windows, with one on either side of the front door and two upstairs. Provided they receive loving attention, they offer unsuspected possibilities, with their multiple patios, interconnecting courtyards and beautiful old materials.
