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.

Historical documentation about this property can be accessed at the Heritage and Photography Media Library in Charenton-le-Pont.

The garden contains the Wall of Splendors, constructed in 1944, displaying engraved inscriptions that chronicle significant events in Martigues history.
