The town centre is a hub of daily life, with shops, schools and places to live that set the pace for each day. The Jura landscape surrounds the town and accompanies its inhabitants throughout the year. In winter, the Haut Jura resorts attract lovers of skiing and the great outdoors. When the warm weather returns, the hiking trails and forests invite you to rediscover the surrounding nature.

Property Les Thons (88)
HISTORIC FORMER CONVENT IN LES THONS, BETWEEN VITTEL AND LANGRES In the village of Les Thons, this former convent, founded in 1452, stands out in the heart of the rolling Vosges countryside. Behind its façade, designated a Historic Monument, the spaces unfold amidst ancient stonework, vast vaults, soaring ceilings, carved staircases, and a well-preserved cloister. Imbued with a rustic Renaissance atmosphere, the site now houses a distinctive residence designed to welcome guests, preserve its heritage, and envision new ways of using the space. A FRANCISCAN COMPLEX IN THE HEART OF A WELL-PRESERVED VILLAGE Set apart from major thoroughfares, the Couvent des Cordeliers des Thons stands out in the landscape as a monument to history. Founded in the 15th century at the request of Guillaume de Saint-Loup and Jeanne de Choiseul and listed as a Historic Monument in 1945, it is now the best-preserved Franciscan complex in northeastern France. The eye is first drawn to the stone facades, the regularity of the ancient openings, and the simple lines of the cloister and its sacred fountain. Then come the details: a door weathered by time, the omnipresent vaults, a monumental fireplace, the depth of the walls, the antique woodwork and beams, and the ?cathedral' staircase. Each space seems to have retained the rhythm of the centuries. From the tree-lined garden and orchard, views open up onto the village's historic district and the surrounding countryside. Further on, the paths lead to the Vosges forests, the spa towns of Vittel and Contrexéville, and the Renaissance gardens of Châtillon-sur-Saône. SPACES FILLED WITH LIGHT AND NATURAL MATERIALS The interior spans nearly 400 m² in a warm and deeply authentic design. The main living area, spanning nearly 80 m², harmonizes with the high ceilings, exposed beams, and open-plan layout leading to the mezzanine. Historic hardwood floors, terracotta tiles, moldings, restored doors, and various architectural details come together to create a vibrant space bathed in light. Some rooms still feature decorative paintings and art collections that extend the spirit of the place. The fully equipped professional kitchen is designed to accommodate both a generous daily lifestyle and larger gatherings. The vaulted cellars, the interior patio, and the adjoining spaces reinforce this sense of a lived-in and adaptable whole. Sold furnished and equipped, the property also includes several antique artworks and paintings that contribute to its unique character. A PROPERTY TO IMAGINE: A BLEND OF HERITAGE AND INSPIRING PROJECTS The estate spans over 5,700 m² of land featuring an orchard, a natural spring, a pond, and open views. At the rear, a vast plot offers various possibilities for future development while respecting the site's character. The site has previously served as a residence and has hosted events, receptions, and dining experiences. Its layout allows for new uses centered on hospitality, vacations, heritage preservation, or a unique second home. Located between Vittel, Épinal, and Langres, this property possesses a rare quality: that of a historic site still very much alive, capable of accommodating ambitious projects without ever losing its original spirit.

Saizenay's location allows you to fully enjoy the tranquility of the Jura countryside while remaining close to Arbois, Salins-les-Bains, and the major natural sites for which the region is renowned. Waterfalls, secluded valleys, forests, hiking trails, and Jura panoramas are part of daily life for those who choose to settle here.

Vineyard with pool Brignoles (83)
A MANSION AND ITS WINE ESTATE IN GREEN PROVENCE Perched on the heights of Besse-sur-Issole, the mansion overlooks a landscape of vineyards, forests, and hills that seems to stretch all the way to the horizon. Surrounding it, nearly 94 hectares form a distinct territory, shaped by vine cultivation and the rhythm of the seasons. A place where Provençal agricultural history remains deeply alive, blending heritage, nature, and winemaking expertise. A MANSION AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ESTATE Upon arrival, a discreet driveway winds through the grounds before reaching the estate's higher elevations. There, the manor house reveals its understated and elegant silhouette, facing the vineyards and the surrounding countryside. Built in the late 17th century, it offers nearly 340 m² of living space organized around spacious reception rooms and several bedrooms spread across different levels. The spaces retain the spirit of grand Provençal country estates, where architectural simplicity harmonizes naturally with the beauty of the landscape. From the terraces and French gardens, the view sweeps over the rows of vines, wooded hills, and the rolling hills of the Provence Verte. Just a few steps from the house, the pool extends this special connection with the outdoors and offers a permanent vantage point over the estate. A caretaker's house located at the entrance to the property completes this historic ensemble, a testament to the traditional layout of large Provençal agricultural estates. A LANDSCAPE SHAPED BY VINES Rarely does an estate offer such landscape continuity. Here, the plots extend over more than 94 hectares in a single block, forming a cohesive landscape where vineyards, farmland, and wooded areas create a typically Mediterranean mosaic. Nearly 26 hectares are currently planted with vines. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino, Mourvèdre, and Carignan all contribute to the vineyard's diversity and the identity of the wines produced on the estate. Over 60% of the land is covered by the Côtes de Provence appellation, affirming the estate's roots in one of the great wine-growing regions of southern France. The rolling terrain, clay-limestone soils, and preserved natural environment create a particularly harmonious balance. At any time of day, the Provençal light enhances the views and highlights the depth of the landscape. GREEN PROVENCE AS A TERRITORY OF EXPRESSION The estate is more than just a residence amidst the vineyards. It retains all the elements that define a true wine-growing estate. The working buildings include a winery, storage areas, an old cellar, a wine tasting room, and the equipment necessary for managing the vineyard. This layout allows one to appreciate the estate as a whole, from vine cultivation to production. The potential extends beyond the existing vineyards. More than eight additional hectares are now available for new plantings, offering opportunities for growth while preserving the site's balance. Less than an hour from the Mediterranean coast, between Toulon, Aix-en-Provence, and the expansive landscapes of central Var, the estate is situated in a more secluded part of Provence. A Provence of hills, villages, and vineyards, where nature retains its rightful place and where the estates still tell the story of their land. AGENCY OPINION Some properties appeal because of their location. Others because of their history or agricultural potential. This estate brings all these elements together within a single landscape. The presence of a manor house overlooking the vineyards, the 94-hectare estate, the French-style gardens, the farm buildings, and the quality of the vineyard come together to form a particularly cohesive whole. A place designed to last, deeply rooted in the wine-growing culture and landscapes of the Provence Verte.

Apartment with terrace Besançon (25)
DUPLEX APARTMENT ABOVE THE ROOFS OF BESANÇON Located in the heart of Besançon's historic centre, this duplex is set within a period building. It has been completely redesigned by its architect. The redesign prioritises light, spaciousness and generous living areas, offering beautiful views. Every element has been crafted by skilled tradespeople using high-quality materials, with a focus on harmony to create a cohesive whole. The windows frame views of hundreds of Comtois rooftops, notably Vauban's citadel and the River Doubs. The two south-facing open terraces extend the space outwards and complement this architectural style. This duplex apartment in Besançon embodies an approach where design, spaciousness, light and practicality come together. A HOLISTIC DESIGN DRIVEN BY DETAIL The apartment was designed as a coherent whole, conceived from the outset in terms of its volumes, circulation and materials. The living area is organised around a largely open central space, where light flows freely through the floor-to-ceiling windows and roof openings. The Greek white Calacatta marble flooring complements this pursuit of light and continuity, with a soft, mineral presence. Upon entering, a stained-glass window handcrafted in a workshop in Chartres introduces a palette of graduated blues. Prominently displayed, a staircase?a unique piece?rises to provide access to the mezzanine. Created by designer Roger Tallon, a leading figure in French industrial design, it unfolds its helical form. The bubbled crystal light fittings by Raak cast a focused, vibrant light thanks to touch-sensitive controls that adjust the lighting. Textiles by Clara Lander lend a softer, more subdued feel. The mezzanine, meanwhile, extends the spaces and supports their various uses, with a direct connection to the outdoor areas. THE TERRACES AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT Usually rare in city centres, these terraces here extend the interior spaces. Meticulously designed, they incorporate irrigation, lighting, power sockets and evergreen vegetation that gives structure to the space throughout the year. They become a living space in their own right, combining cooking, relaxation and everyday activities. Set within the roof structure, they sit set back whilst offering unobstructed views of the city: the quays, the Tour de la Pelote, the Church of La Madeleine, the Citadel and the museum all feature in the landscape. Access is direct from the mezzanine, creating a seamless flow. Two steps connect the terraces, without interrupting the flow of movement. The lines remain understated, the floors mineral, the vegetation discreet. Together, they form a structured outdoor space that is easy to live in. Here, one can dine, garden, or simply relax at different times of the day. An integrated outdoor space, in tune with the rhythm of the city. A LOCATION ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF BESANÇON Located on Quai Vauban, the apartment is part of an iconic architectural complex. The River Doubs, the aligned and listed façades, and the proximity to cultural institutions all contribute to the identity of the location. The neighbourhood supports a fluid daily rhythm, with shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The Citadel and the historic fabric place the development within a heritage context. This address strikes a balance between urban presence and an elevated position, offering a different perspective on Besançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. AGENCY'S OPINION This property is part of a holistic design approach, where every element finds its place within a coherent whole. The signatures of designers and craftsmen, the use of materials and the relationship with the outdoors create a lived-in, precise and unique space. The terraces extend this connection with the city.

Property with garden Besançon (25)
MANOR HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON Just a few minutes from Besançon, this historic property reveals behind its walls a rare ensemble comprising a 19th-century mansion, a renovated guest house, and a second detached house waiting to be reimagined. Set within over two hectares of wooded grounds, the stone facades, gravel paths, and lush vegetation create a place filled with tranquility, light, and the promise of a legacy. A WALLED PROPERTY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON From the cul-de-sac, the property appears discreetly behind its gates and century-old trees. The property immediately evokes a sense of space rarely found in the Greater Besançon area, nestled between unspoiled countryside and quick access to shops, schools, and major thoroughfares. The main house, built in the late 19th century, stands alongside a fully renovated guest house and a second detached building currently used for storage. The layout of the estate allows for the possibility of an extended family life, spaces for entertaining, or additional uses over time. Surrounding the buildings, the landscaped grounds unfold with gentle slopes, hedges, mature trees, and views of the surrounding nature. A deeply residential setting, designed to be lived in as much as to be enjoyed. INTERIORS BLENDING OLD-WORLD ELEGANCE WITH MODERN COMFORT The main house offers approximately 190 m² spread over three levels. The spaces retain the spirit of old bourgeois mansions: high ceilings, moldings, wood paneling, wall niches, solid hardwood floors, and a wooden staircase connecting the floors. Light floods the reception rooms and living areas, which open onto the greenery and surrounding natural landscapes. The separate kitchen, centered around a central island and marble countertops, extends this atmosphere of a family home lived in day to day. The original materials interact with more contemporary elements that have been discreetly integrated. Geothermal heating, double-glazed aluminum window frames, and technical systems provide a modern take on comfort without altering the home's identity. In addition, the guest house features a separate space spread over two levels, while the garages, carports, cellars, and workshops offer a multitude of possibilities. A PLACE TO LIVE, ENTERTAIN, AND GROW The uniqueness of this property lies as much in its location as in its layout. Few estates offer more than two hectares of private land just minutes from Besançon and the Auxons TGV station. The second detached house naturally opens the door to various projects: a family guesthouse, a professional space, a caretaker's home, or a future additional residence after renovation. The property maintains a sense of privacy without isolation, striking a particularly sought-after balance between urban life and the tranquility of nature. A property designed for those seeking more than just a house: a place to call home for the long term. AGENCY'S OPINION This property has a unique presence in the Besançon landscape.

Contemporary apartment Besançon (25)
Haussmann-style apartment in Besançon Hidden from view at the back of an 18th-century mansion, this Haussmann-style apartment has a rare presence. Here, the city center feels intimate, almost hushed. The rooms are impressive without being overwhelming, the high ceilings set the tone, and the old parquet floors and fireplaces recall a time when architecture was as much about status as it was about lifestyle. Completely redesigned to meet contemporary needs, this space combines the restrained splendor of the past with the comfort of a high-quality renovation. An apartment with character, for those looking for more than just an address: a living experience. An interior shaped by history The apartment is organized as a series of living rooms, designed for both entertaining and privacy. The spacious and structured living areas offer a clear interpretation of the volumes, where each perspective finds its breathing space. The old floors, moldings, woodwork, and fireplaces interact with a contemporary, precise, and never ostentatious design. Natural light glides along the walls, highlighting architectural details and accompanying the rhythm of the day. Here, nothing is decorative by chance: each element contributes to a solemn yet warm atmosphere, where one can imagine both large gatherings and the calm of a chosen daily life. In the more intimate spaces, the bedrooms extend this feeling of seclusion and serenity. The flow of movement is fluid, designed for comfortable, uninterrupted living. The fully equipped kitchen has a modern, understated style that blends perfectly with the spirit of the place. A rare balance between heritage and practicality, without compromise. The backyard as a refuge Located at the back of the courtyard, the apartment enjoys a unique location: protected from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet anchored in its lively heart. This backyard, characteristic of Besançon's mansions, creates a precious distance from the street. Here, time is perceived differently, slower, more hushed. The views open onto the surrounding architecture and the Citadel, a discreet but constant reminder of the history of the place. Here, there is no spectacular garden, but a rare feeling of seclusion in the city center: that of living in a preserved space, originally designed to last. This location reinforces the feeling of exclusivity. The apartment does not reveal itself immediately; it is something to be discovered. This is a quality that has become precious, almost impossible to find, in a dense urban fabric. A world within reach Living here means embracing a demanding urban lifestyle. The historic center of Besançon unfolds all around, with its shops, cultural venues, squares, and institutions. The neighborhood offers a complete picture of the city: dynamic, rich in heritage, and deeply inhabited. Nearby, walks, cultural spaces, and places to live make for a fluid, unrestricted daily life. The Citadel, the quays, and the surrounding hills remind us that nature is never far away, even in the heart of the city. This area appeals to clients who are sensitive to history, architecture, and a certain idea of urban comfort: cultured, discreet, deeply rooted in its environment. The agency's opinion: This apartment perfectly embodies what we look for at Arrière-Cour: a confidential address, remarkable architecture, and a subtle balance between heritage and modernity. Its location in the rear courtyard of an 18th-century mansion makes it a rare find on the Besançon market. It is ideal for buyers looking for a property with character, steeped in history, but designed for a demanding contemporary lifestyle. A place of distinction, without ostentation. Condominiums of 30 units. Annual expenses : 4500 euros.

The eye takes in a stone house built in the late 19th century, anchored in the Voiteur landscape with simplicity and presence.

Castle Bourg-en-Bresse (01)
A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS
