Origin and history

La Bastide La Loubière, located in Pertuis in the Vaucluse, is a building built in the 3rd quarter of the 16th century, between 1555 and 1586. It embodies Provencal Renaissance architecture, with a symmetrical plan organized around an inner courtyard. Its ordered facades, terraces, and decorative elements such as the fountain and dovecote reflect the social status of its owners, parliamentarians and local notables. The bastide, originally named Tournamières, was renamed by Dominique de Bonaud, seigneur of Lubière, in the 17th century.

The construction began in 1555 under the direction of the mason Honnoré Isnard, then was enlarged and reworked in 1586 with the intervention of the stone tailor Gabriel Bérard and the fontier Elzéar Philippe. The building, little modified since then, preserves original features: a vaulted basement floor, a false plaster vault on the ground floor, and a cut stone well. The terraced gardens, enclosed with walls, are home to a backed fountain and three basins, while the square dovecote, with plaster bolts, bears witness to its historical agricultural use.

Owned by the Aymar family, then Dominique de Bonaud in 1656, the bastide illustrates the influence of Pertuis' legal and land elites. Classified Historic Monument in 1989, its protection covers facades, roofs, courtyards, fountains, pavilions, and gardens. Although the agricultural parts have been partially redesigned, the whole remains a homogeneous example of Provencal Renaissance bastide, combining residential function and agricultural operation.

The exact address, Iscles de la Loubière, and its INSEE code (84089) are located in the department of Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as satisfactory (level 7/10), with GPS coordinates pointing to 22 La Loubière. Today, its status (open to the public, rental, or accommodation) is not specified in the available sources.
