Saint-Marc-Jaumegarde (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ maʁk ʒomgaʁd]; Provençal: Sant Marc de Jaumegarda) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France.
Location[edit]
It is located 6 kilometres away from Aix-en-Provence and Vauvenargues, Bouches-du-Rhône, and 3 kilometres away from Le Tholonet, near the Montagne Sainte-Victoire.
The commune includes Bonfillons, Roussillier, Plan de l'Orgue, Savoyards, and Bourg.
There are two man-made lakes, namely Bimont and Zola, and the streamlet, Prignon.
History[edit]
In 1239, the land was given to the Lord of Esparon by Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence.
By 1490, Jacques Garde had become Lord of Saint-Marc, and twenty years later the land was passed on to Dauphine Garde, wife of Bertrand de Puget.
In 1723, Saint-Marc was sold to the Meyronnets, a family of advisors in the Provence Parliament. In 1784-1785 Philippe de Meyronnet invited Lucien Bonaparte and Joseph Bonaparte to his estate.
