The main entrance to this house is in a little, quiet street at the foot of the ramparts: reached via a flight of steps, a heavy, arched, wooden door, topped with a stone lintel, itself adorned with a broken pediment and a tympanum housing an alcove. A second entrance is possible to the rear via another little street.
This east and west facing building spans approx. 380 m² of living space over three levels, topped with an attic floor. It looks out over the wrought iron bell-tower, adorning the clock tower.
The facade, reflecting warm hues, features twenty or so openings, half of which are enhanced with shutters. A wrought iron and masonry balcony, suspended on the second floor, extends the width of three openings, two of which are French windows providing access to it.
The roof is covered with Roman tiles and enhanced with a quadruple overhanging cornice, typical of the region.

The house

Behind a heavy wooden entrance door is a vast, middle-class home with rich architecture and balanced rooms. A wide stairway, with landings, bordered by wooden railings and paved with black and white cement tiles laid in a chessboard pattern, goes harmoniously up to the rooms and flats on the first and second floors. The top floor is taken up by extensive attic space and the basement, which communicates with the little back street via a maze of cellars, completes this 5-storey building.
The broken pediment, the woodwork, the windows with their espagnolette bolts, the interior metal fittings, the terracotta floor tiles and the wrought iron railings on the balcony are all features that date from the 18th century, in a building that was predominantly constructed in the 19th century and is typical of its era.

The ground floor
The main door of the house, on the ground floor, opens into a first vestibule that provides access to an entrance hall, housing the stairway. This level comprises two flats: an independent, renovated studio flat, enhanced with a kitchen and a shower room, with a toilet, and a flat that is not part of the property. At the end, a wooden door conceals another entrance hall that opens on to the little street at the back, a pantry and a toilet. The tiles paving the floor, the wooden stair railings and the three-metre-high ceiling give this level a great deal of elegance. On either side of the entrance hall, three doors provide access to the cellars. The lower level, spanning approx. 100 m², is on a level with the little street, bordering the rear of the house and is, therefore, not a real basement. Creating an unusual circuit, it houses a maze of intercommunicating vaulted cellars, one of which once accommodated animals.
The first floor
The first floor is taken up by two flats. One of them has been completely renovated and is laid out on either side of a lounge-dining room: on one side, two adjoining bedrooms and, on the other, a kitchen, a shower room, with a toilet, and a large bedroom. This flat is steeped in light and has high ceilings. The second flat, comprising three rooms, is currently undergoing renovation works.
The second floor
Red hexagonal tiles and wooden nosing enhance the stairway going up to the second floor. This level still has its original layout and has not yet been renovated: on one side, two bedrooms as well as an old kitchen, and, on the other side, a flat composed of a kitchen, a living room, a large bedroom and a shower room. The terracotta floor tiles, typical of Provence, the marble fireplaces, the windows with their espagnolette bolts and the railings on the balcony running alongside all reflect bygone times. All the rooms are very bright courtesy of the dual, east-west aspect of the house’s facades.
The attic
A ceiling going up to a height of 3.5 m at its highest point and an exposed roofing framework, a floor surface area of approx. 120 m² and the original room layout as well as a higher level converted into a semi-covered terrace, where vegetables were once dried, give this area exceptional character. Everything still needs to be done in order to transform it into living space, but the variety in the dimensions of its rooms and its actual structural framework give it enormous potential.
