A chateau, its outbuildings and grounds in Fougères. Off a country road, a wrought-iron gate opens onto a long avenue lined with century-old plane trees. The chateau stands at the top of a slope in the centre of its wooded grounds. The numerous outbuildings, vegetable garden and orchard are to the north. A small chapel dominates the grounds to the east. Two caretaker's houses have been built at the north and south ends of the grounds.

In the Pays de la Loire region, 15 minutes from Laval, on over 16 ha, a striking 18th century listed castle, fully restored. A long driveway, bordered by trees and crossing the parkland’s grasslands and woods, leads from the village to the property. Entrance gates open on to a very wide courtyard, partially surrounded by a dry moat and laid out in front of the chateau’s regular, elegant facade. The outbuildings, set out around the courtyard, comprise stables, a dovecote, pigsties, a barn, a small corner pavilion, a caretaker’s cottage and, lastly, a chapel. A central parterre, displaying its original design, takes up a large section of the courtyard in front of the chateau. A copse of very old trees stands to one side. A regular, terraced, back garden, reached via granite steps, looks down on to the rear of the chateau. The first castle dated from medieval times. In the 16th century, its status was raised to that of a “châtellenie” (an officially recognised castle and its land). All that remains of these eras are the dovecote, the chapel as well as the castle’s two pavilions. At the beginning of the 18th century, these two pavilions were connected by a vast building. The chateau, the outbuildings and parklands underwent major restoration works in 2010. A good number of these features are now protected with French Historic Monument listing (by order dated 13 March 1989): the chateau and the chapel; the dovecote facades and roofs; the perimeter wall with its moat and its support walls; the facades and roof of the little, 18th century corner pavilion; the garden with its fencing and its towers as well as the shelter over the central well; the wood and, lastly, the large alleyways in the parklands. Nowadays economic activities, notably linked to culture and events, are held by the current owners. But the potential of the buildings, not all actually in use, and the existing parklands which extend over a total of more than 16 hectares, make it possible to envisage other development possibilities, especially as the town of Laval is near and Paris and Rennes are within easy reach.

A former 13th-century manor house with parklands, pond, pool and farmyard on the way to the Mont-Saint-Michel in the Granville hinterland. From a side road, a wide driveway lined with two triple rows of sycamore maples leads to the entrance gate framed by two stone pillars, which opens onto the main courtyard. Two lodges stand guard, separated from the dwelling by a well-defined lawn. One of these lodges dates back to the 16th century. Embrasures in the wall testify to the age of the building. The other lodge was built in the 19th century. On one side, three buildings forming a U surround the farmyard. The first building to be erected in the 13th century was a rectangular dwelling with two storeys plus an attic. In the 18th century, a shipowner from Granville commissioned its extension, effectively doubling its length. In the 19th century, one of his descendants added two short wings at either end to house horse-drawn carriages, as well as a terrace running along the rear facade, accessed from the garden via two straight flights of stairs. The terrace is supported by arches creating a wide loggia. All the buildings are of dressed stone or coursed rubble masonry, with slate roofs varying in shape. And finally, at the back of the residence, an oval Napoleon-style pool lies next to a pond and rose garden. Meadows and groves of trees encircle the complex.
