Hôtel particulier de Preigne

This former mansion belonging to the Gras de Preigne family has housed the Palais de Justice since 1858. Built in the early 17th century in the Renaissance style.

It was later redesigned in the French or Parisian style with the main buildings arranged in a U-shape around a main courtyard (Place du Bâtonnier Louis Gonthier). At the back, the current entrance of the Law Courts giving onto the Dr. Braye square has a Mannerist style facade from the 1620s. The small square was arranged at the end of the 18th century in order to give more light and cheerfulness to the classical façade. The windows are surmounted by triangular pediments, once decorated with fleur-de-lis, responding to the large pediment over the front door. Its monumental door and its leaves are registered in the inventory of historical monuments. This private mansion is described in a heritage booklet "Belles demeures" available at the Tarascon Tourist Office.
