Lambesc was a barony originally. At least it was for the Parliament of Provence who was sitting on Aix
. The status of the Lord
Lambesc was a real bone of contention with the French monarchy who considered it as an "autonomous principality in Western Provence" she created).
Prince Lambesc, which was not in session locally, was used by the local gentry living in their fee
. They are the ones found in the "General Council of the community" side of the bourgeois and other commoners the most influential city. They are sometimes even heads of stations Consuls in the council.
The board met once a week usually on Tuesdays. A General Assembly
could be called exceptional. The last time it was the on the occasion of the convening of the States General. As head of the General Council of the community was first consul and two deputies (who were also consuls); they were elected from the General Council for a term of one year. The First Consul took care of routine business. Counselors were co-opted annually and accounted fifteen individuals. There were often ex-consuls and junior officers who represented the board in their daily tasks. The appointment of a new member shall be made by name.
We also proceeded to the election officials of municipal functions. A master Registrar
Chief Clerk and Recorder controlled elections, and lawyer
the Royal ratified. These new directors were sworn in and were accepted or rejected by the magistrate Lambesc. All were rewarded by the community.
In terms of justice, Prince Lambesc (exercises, in theory, Pariatge with King), by subrogation, named in his office, a justice who sat in his courtroom justice (Hotel Du Janet). When his position was vacant, it was the Seneschal
Aix made all necessary arrangements in this area as has been the case, 20 February, when lambescaine was "found dead murdered" on the land on . The judge also had the power, under regulations to prevent the holding of the general council of the community if it happens that the number of consultants required was not reached. For this, it ordered the requisition by the consuls of the city of several former advisors to achieve the no-load'quorum set, and made them swear an oath before the opening of the council.
The armed wing of the local justice and Royal was represented by the Marshalsea
. The latter had a brigade that consisted of six riders (1779). It happened that the community council should also take some extraordinary legal measures. He had also power. Lambesc depended, in terms of its finances, stewardship of the Viguerie
and the revenues of Aix, as underlined above, 1766, Abbot Expilly.
The cash
was put on auction
. The candidate should obtain the sum set and deliver it to the recipient of the Viguerie
of Aix. Other charges were also rented
. Revenues (despite the various taxes) were too weak to withstand the loads which had been in the community. Indeed, extraordinary expenses perpetually undermined the budget. The community council was constantly advancing étapiers money and lodging. Waiting a year to the next that stewardship of Aix-en-Provence does this advance. Finally, the community would support, among others, and since 1646, housing for members during the General Assembly
communities in the country of Provence, which degraded a little more finances.
The organization of these were still expensive for the city and the community Lambesc. Free accommodation for MPs was necessarily at the expense of the community but the comfort of guests, the presence of powerful nobles of the Kingdom of France
when such meetings require a sacrifice and an additional price to pay, dipping just over the small principality of Lambesc in an inescapable debt. It was not until 1760 that the consuls of their community Lambesc obtained an annual allowance of 600 pounds, increased to 1,200 pounds 1765 to help defray the costs generated by holding such meetings. Formerly, inns and other lodging capacity had almost enough, but it seems that around the year 1770 that the problem of housing is rapidly becoming a concern. Indeed, many mattresses are provided at the meetings: 69 are loaded in 1777, 99 in 1778. The fatal blow is focused on . Indeed, the community council Lambesc ratifies new work to be undertaken to build new rooms and new windows in the hotel of Janet. The antiques are also subdivided. Lambesc already too much debt can not bear the construction costs for new housing. So in 1786, on a background of the "housing crisis", the holding of meetings Lambesc is removed in favor of the city of Aix. The latter had adequate housing and certainly cheaper.
In December 1787, the community council claims the prince Lambesc Lambesc, Charles-Eugene de Lorraine, its intervention to ensure the maintenance of general meetings of the province Lambesc. Query that appears immediately satisfied, since the the community council Lambesc register the order of Monseigneur the Archbishop
Aix which is asking the community Lambesc to build a line of home (along the current National Boulevard). The work is in progress, but the troubles which broke out in Provence in the aftermath of the French Revolution
of 1789 does not allow Lambesc cover up his "political capital" of Provence.
The results is :
In 2008, the town gave Associations lambescaines available, including sports, the COSEC after completion of work funded with council tax

Raising ovicapridés was known Lambesc. Local toponymy has left us traces. The "coussous", meaning the patis (pastures, meadows) shows only locations flocks of sheep and goats. It is the same for "Fedon," a term that seems to have fossilized after 1500, because this area was formerly called "Farriol". The "Fedon (for fede: sheep), is a place name later, so that would mean the place where the sheep put down. Other names evoke the road for the transhumant such as that of the 'track of Arles. "
Long before the great Industrial Revolution
, is recorded on the local cadastral near the Concernade around 1777, as new portions are reserved solely for the implementation of spinning silk, soap factory ( The soap) and that of dyeing cotton. For Taillades was a soda factory, product essential to the manufacture of soap. In 1787 Lambesc therefore has a soap factory, two boilers and two tile. It also identifies seven oil mills intramurals. Wheat mills along the Concernade at Bertoire and the Calvary. Until 1777, the stone is exploited to "large areas" (momentarily before being preferred for reasons of cost - for the stone-operate or Lamanon Rognes) then 1786 the district of Peirière.
According to the Count de Villeneuve, three fairs were held at Lambesc, whose principal is also cited by the Abbot Expilly was that of 9 October, the feast of St. Denis, patron saint of the country.
23 January 1763, markets stood at Lambesc each Tuesday as the cities of Perth
, Cadenet
and Rians

Lambeth, above all, was a stage town. We lived there, and that was the main purpose of his house and hostels.

Indeed, the community council Lambesc ratifies new work to be undertaken to build new rooms and new windows in the hotel of Janet. The antiques are also subdivided.

History
Under the Ancien Regime, agriculture is characterized as mixed, which dominates with a typically Mediterranean culture: cereals, oil and wine are mainly produced. In the late eighteenth century, wheat and oil are the basic products, but the wheat is losing more and more important. Moreover agronomists suggest Provençal olive farm and vineyard. Already in 1766, Abbot Expilly reflects this trend and is Lambesc "in a country abounding in pleasant wine and olive oil." But there is also growing almonds, followed by fodder and a few mulberry.Raising ovicapridés was known Lambesc. Local toponymy has left us traces. The "coussous", meaning the patis (pastures, meadows) shows only locations flocks of sheep and goats. It is the same for "Fedon," a term that seems to have fossilized after 1500, because this area was formerly called "Farriol". The "Fedon (for fede: sheep), is a place name later, so that would mean the place where the sheep put down. Other names evoke the road for the transhumant such as that of the 'track of Arles. "
