Origin and history
The Mas de Panisse, built in the 17th century in Tarascon, is a typical example of a Provencal farmhouse built on a primitive house, probably fortified originally. Its major transformations took place at the beginning of the 19th century, with the partial suppression of the north wing and a reorganization of the floors in the western house corps. These changes, followed by a modern addition to the 20th century on the north facade, reduced the traces of its original configuration, which is now residual.
The mas garden is part of the tradition of medieval or reborn enclosed gardens, a space delimited by walls and scauguettes, preserved despite subsequent additions. Among the protected elements are the dovecote tower with its corbelled stair turret, a cut stone tank, and the facades and roofs of the north house body (excluding recent extensions). These features illustrate the architectural evolution of the site, between defensive heritage and residential adaptations.
Ranked Historic Monument by decree of 5 June 2014, the Mas de Panisse retains significant remains of its past, though partial. The property, now owned by a private company, includes elements such as pedestrian gate, fence walls, and garden floor, exclusive of the modern house located in the northwest corner. These protections highlight the heritage value of a complex of agricultural, residential and symbolic functions typical of provençal mas.
