In Vaucluse, overlooking the country of Sorgues and its illustrious Isle, the former farmhouse of the Baudet de Sade from the 17th century, with its basins and Italian-style park. Formerly a large agricultural estate from the 17th and 18th centuries composed of terraces irrigated by springs, it has retained a significant farmhouse in a right-angled return built against the rock to the north, dominating the valley below. The building bears witness to particular care taken with the facades facing the courtyard, notably its main façade coated with ochre lime, pierced with slightly arched openings as well as the main entrance door aligned with an old dovecote that tops the canal-tile roofs. The secondary section displays an equally elegant design featuring two wide and high paired arches pierced towards the courtyard, while showcasing contemporary embellishments at the first floor on the former hayloft of the estate. The built ensemble is in perfect harmony with the terraced topography, providing to the south and west broad landscaped terraces, while to the east a flower bed arranged on the largest platform at the valley bottom offers a remarkable perspective, enhanced by the alignment on the upper terrace of 27 monoliths supporting a trellis. The whole formed by the buildings and the particularly careful landscaping (even staging the ruins of an orange grove) accentuates the theatricality of the sites nestled in a fold of the Vaucluse foothills and the wooded slopes of the valley, evoking the refuge of Petrarch in the Vallis Clausa that he cherished.
