A fully renovated house with a 60m² floor area, a terrace and a garage, tucked away down a calm alley in the heart of Avignon. Traces of Avignon’s medieval past remain in its centre, despite all the changes made to this old city since the 14th century. This is especially so in Avignon’s ancient streets, some of which have been miraculously spared by the different architects that have redesigned the city over the course of its long story. The narrow road on which this dwelling stands is one of these ancient streets. This modest alley ran alongside the gardens of grand houses, one of which is now a remarkable museum. Basil was cultivated on this street when the plant was imported from the Indies in the 15th century. This trend gave the street its name. There a very few facades along the alley. Indeed, there are barely half a dozen houses here. Only tall stone walls enclosing vast private gardens are tokens of the past along this street. The small house, with its pale blue shutters, is framed between two of these tall stone walls. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a converted roof space. Though it has two upper floors, only one can be seen from the street. The building was probably once a stable, then a storehouse for horse-drawn vehicles. It used to stand at the end of the grounds of an imposing grand house, the enclosing wall of which it was built against. It is likely that this little dwelling was built in the late 19th century. Indeed, the door surround of the entrance bears the inscription ‘1881’. Its facade stands on the quiet alley. Its exposed stonework with pointing is typical of small Provençal homes. This facade is simple: there is just a garage door, an entrance door and two windows.

A former priory and its listed chapel converted into a country house, with swimming pool and outbuildings, set in 2 ha of protected grounds including woodland close to Aix-en-Provence. The approach to the priory is particularly secluded. Behind a small gate, a track runs alongside meadows lined with tall trees, gradually revealing the north facade of the former priory. Built on top of a 9th-century building, it was extended in the 12th century by a Romanesque chapel and in the 17th century by a farmhouse. The coursed limestone masonry elevations have a few windows, which suggest that there may be larger openings to the south. The roofs are of monk-and-nun tiles and a bell gable overlooks the landscape at the eastern end of the chapel. The joinery is all wood and all the doors are moulded. The grounds surrounding the building extend over 2 hectares, planted with over 2,000 tall specimen trees providing shade and privacy. Part meadow, part undergrowth, they benefit from an abundance of water thanks to a branch of the Touloubre canal, tamed by a pond and sluice gates located throughout the grounds. A small guest house and a 16 x 6 m swimming pool complete the property.

A 170m² ground-floor apartment with a garden, listed as a historical monument for its refined wallpaper paintings, nestled between Avignon and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The apartment lies on the ground floor of the Hôtel Senchon de Bournissac – a jewel in the crown of the town’s rich architectural heritage. At the start of the 18th century, François Senchon, a lawyer at the Parlement of Provence in the city of Aix-en-Provence, acquired some plots in this small town. These plots surrounded a courtyard. Here, Senchon began building his grand house in a calm spot far from urban bustle. Beyond a tall three-storey facade with a symmetrical arrangement of windows, a spacious stairwell with a fine balustrade connects to rooms with French-style beamed ceilings and offers a remarkable example of 18th-century architecture. Later, in the 19th century, thanks to the prosperity of the Senchon de Bournissac family, the elegant edifice was extended: a wing was built alongside the garden, its ground floor forming a vast gallery-like room. Today, this apartment lies in this extension. Remarkable decorative features inside also date back to this period. For example, in the two connecting rooms that look out at the street, the refined wallpaper paintings are still intact and ornate plaster works embellish the fireplace trumeau panels and the decorative panels above the doorways. The beauty and rarity of these decorative features prompted France’s cultural heritage authorities to register this apartment and other parts of the Hôtel Senchon de Bournissac as a listed historical monument by decree on 29 August 2000.
