luxury real estate for sale Marguerittes, France (page 10)

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.

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.

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.
