In Beaucaire, an old tanner's house to be rehabilitated. Unlike many Provençal or Languedocian towns, the historic center of Beaucaire is not organized according to an irregular urban grid, but around axes that intersect at right angles. The proximity of the fairground, established along the Rhône and the site of the Foire de la Madeleine, which guaranteed the prosperity of the town for many centuries, ensured the attractiveness of the streets consisting of both shops and residences. It is precisely in one of these streets in the historic sector, immediately surrounded by at least four classified monuments, that the old tanner's house is situated.

At the corner of three streets oriented to the south, west, and east, the building still reveals externally the two distinct parts that now compose it. The first, the tallest, has three floors above ground level. Originally intended for habitation, it also housed a skin dryer in the attic and appears to be dated 1680 in the city's cadastre. The second, shorter part, was added following a later acquisition under the Directory. Raised by two stories above a shop on the ground floor, it retains on its façade at the street corner a casing from the 1970s intended to enhance its commercial visibility. The two-pitched roofs, covered with canal tiles, display the traditional characteristics of Languedoc constructions.

The facades, built of large regular blocks of cut stone from the quarries of Beaucaire, have retained their original appearance and unify the two parts in a relatively homogeneous manner. The windows, most of which date from the 18th century, benefit from a significant influx of natural light thanks to the opening created by the angle of the three streets. The Provençal shutters, made of double thickness wood, punctuated with visible turned nails and painted in gray-blue, also enhance the aesthetic coherence of the facades. Their 'jalousies', opened here and there onto the adjacent streets, allowed for discreet observation of the comings and goings of customers.
