Maison du chemin de Paradis, Historical bastide in Martigues, France.
The house features three levels constructed with stones from a former church, surrounded by cypress trees and positioned above an old mill.
Built in the 16th century, this residence became the property of Marie-Pélagie Garnier in 1881 and received historical monument status in 1975.
The residence housed a collection of twelve thousand books, including dedicated works from French writers André Gide and Malraux.
