My holidays in Provence, to Mallemort

There is a curious and marvellously complementary duality to Mallemort. The village is proud of its dual personality. It boasts a location in the deepest part of Provence with its quaint old village, traditional events and vast tracts of farmland, all of which contrast to great effect with the Domaine de Pont Royal, a centre for residential tourism with its many accommodations and leisure facilities such as its 18-hole golf course, swimming pools, shops, restaurants, hotels and services in a 47-hectare park! The peaceful village is combined with a The domain side dynamic domain to make a most unusual and very modern provençal village .

Between 1950 and 1970 there were 200 farms in the area! Today, only some 50 remain and the village has turned to another sector, tourism, with the creation of the Domaine de Pont Royal.

His canals saved the valley from the summer droughts of its Mediterranean environment. It was thanks to the creation of the canal of Boisgelin in around 1770 that Mallemort enjoyed an easy and widespread access to water. 4 HERITAGE 5 The tourist office offers you a walking ORIGINS… trail to discover The origin of the name «Mallemort» was set originated from the place where the the old village. in ink on numerous occasions ... many ver- Sainte-Marie Church was built, in the ce- sions exist.

Hospitaller 6 7 Suspension bridge

Built between 1844 and 1848 by order of King Louis-Philippe, the bridge is 320 metres long with a wooden floor 6.2 metres wide. It was swept away the first time by a flood of the Durance in 1872 and then again in 1880, 1882 and 1886. The 1886 flood severely weakened the right-hand pier. The bridge was rebuilt from 1887 to 1892 and remained intact until 1940 when it was seriously damaged by bombardments.

It is currently in a completely unique state of conservation because it is a particularly fine example of suspension bridge architecture of the time.

In 1980 a new bridge was built alongside the old one. It is worth noting that those crossing the old bridge by car or bicycle were always rather anxious, as the wooden floor was unstable and undulated – especially The Durance river runs beneath when the mistral blew!
