Origin and history

The Bouchony estate is an 18th century property located on the island of Barthelasse, in Avignon (Vaucluse). It embodies the architecture of the country houses on the outskirts of Avignon, with its communes built in the first half of the century and its master house erected between 1770 and 1780. The site also includes gardens, hydraulic network and hedge alignments, reflecting the aristocratic lifestyle of the time.

The estate successively belonged to three families linked by kinship: the Tron, the Brunet de la Renoudière, and then the Anselme de Puisaye. At the end of the 18th century, it was rented for the beautiful season by the Countess of Carliste, an English woman based in Avignon, described as the "mother of the King of Ireland" and sister of Admiral Biron. Spirit Calvet, a local scholar, assiduously courted her during her stay.

Ranked a Historical Monument by decree of 13 January 1997, the Bouchony estate is protected for its built complex (master house, commons, gardens) as well as its landscape and hydraulic elements. These features are a valuable testimony to the social and architectural history of the Avignon region under the Old Regime.
