The charming, modestly sized townhouse leads out onto a small square on Rue de la Peyrolerie, which a little garden court separates it from. The apartment lies up on the second and third floors of the townhouse. The street’s name denotes the place where metalwork ("peyrou" in Provençal) was carried out in the Middles Ages. The street’s lower part, where the property lies, was called Rue du Marché du Fil (literally “Thread Market Street”). Its upper part ran beneath – and, indeed, still does – one of the monumental buttresses of the papal palace. It was enlarged to reach its current proportions in 1760. The townhouse’s communal areas are well maintained. They are typical of communal areas of 18th-century Provençal townhouses, with simplicity, harmony and a very Italian style. For example, the staircase that leads to the apartments is elegantly understated. Its steps are adorned with old polygonal terracotta tiles, its treads designed without ostentation, its oak nosing nailed simply, its landing broad but not grandiloquent, its balustrade plainly made of wrought iron with wood, and its wall’s ochre tones carefully chosen to go well with the sunset’s light that fills the space. The olive green of the window frames goes well with the ochre of the walls. The colours reflect the spirit of the luxury hotel Hôtel La Mirande that lies nearby. The communal areas are in excellent condition are need no renovation. The apartment is the last one on its landing. It has two floors and two level-adjusting flights of steps inside. The dwelling takes up part of the second floor. Across two levels, it has a reading lounge, a kitchen and a bedroom with a bathroom. Above, a third floor makes the apartment almost like a three-level dwelling. Up here, there is a bedroom with a bathroom that offers a good view outside, as well as two terraces, one of which offers a private panoramic vista of Avignon that is unrivalled.
