In Vaucluse, overlooking the country of Sorgues and its illustrious Isle, the former farmstead of the Baudet de Sade from the 17th century, with its basins and Italian gardens. This former farmstead, linked to the possessions of the Baudet de Sade, is said to have belonged to Abbé Jacques de Sade, uncle of the illustrious 'divine marquis' of the same name, who lived in the Château de Saumane, located to the south beyond a fold of the Vaucluse mountains. Once a vast agricultural estate from the 17th and 18th centuries composed of terraced plots irrigated by springs, it has today preserved an important farmhouse in a right-angle return built against the rock to the north, dominating the valley below. The building reflects particular care given to the elevations on the courtyard side, notably its main façade plastered with ochre lime, pierced with bays featuring low-arched openings and the main entrance door aligned with an old dovecote overhanging the tiled roofs. The secondary body displays an equally elegant design with two wide and tall paired arches opening onto the courtyard, while also showing a contemporary embellishment of the former hayloft on the upper floor. The entire built complex is in perfect harmony with the terraced topography, offering wide landscaped terraces to the south and west, while to the east, a lawn arranged on the largest platform at the bottom of the valley provides a remarkable perspective, enhanced by the alignment on the upper terrace of 27 monoliths supporting a trellis. The ensemble formed by the buildings and the particularly well-maintained landscaping (including a staged ruin of an orangery) accentuates the theatricality of the site nestled in a fold of the Vaucluse foothills and the wooded slopes of the valley, reminiscent of Petrarch's refuge in the Vallis Clausa that he cherished.
