A HISTORIC PROPERTY IN A DOMINANT LOCATION IN THE HEART OF AUTUN In Autun, the house is situated in a residential neighborhood within the historic center, just a few minutes' walk from shops, schools, and Saint Lazare Cathedral. From the street, the stone facade blends into the urban landscape, and the gate opens onto a paved courtyard. The commanding position offers direct views of the rooftops of Autun, the glazed tiles of the military high school, and the church's silhouette, visible from several openings in the house. The entryway leads to the first rooms, featuring high ceilings, preserved moldings, and a spiral wooden staircase connecting the levels. The main living area, laid out in a row, is ideal for hosting meals, entertaining guests, or enjoying quieter moments during the day. The fireplaces provide warmth in the cold season, while the double-height windows allow one to follow the passage of the day across the facades. The entire structure rests on ancient foundations linked to a former canon's house, immediately anchoring the site in a historical continuity. Every movement through the house is guided by this existing structure. LIVING SPACES SHAPED BY MATERIALS From the reception rooms, the flow extends toward a fully equipped kitchen, separated by a glass partition that maintains the visual connection. This space now accommodates daily meal preparation as well as shared moments around the kitchen island, with direct access to the service areas and the workshop located in the wing. The upper floors feature nine bedrooms, including an office, spread across two levels, with two suites each equipped with their own bathroom. This layout allows for hosting a family, close friends, or organizing extended stays. Oak parquet floors, French-style ceilings, wood paneling, and terracotta tiles define each room.

The two levels of cellars, totaling approximately 100 m², currently serve as storage, preservation, and logistics spaces. BETWEEN THE PAVED COURTYARD AND THE WOODED GARDEN, AN OUTDOOR CONTINUITY At the rear, the walled garden serves as a direct extension of the living areas. With its trees, it is now the perfect spot for relaxation, outdoor meals, or family time. The paved courtyard naturally connects the house to the three enclosed garages, providing secure parking and practical use in the city center.

The renovation carried out around 2010 focused on the structure, utilities, and insulation, making the property comfortable to live in today.

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.

The separate kitchen, centered around a central island and marble countertops, extends this atmosphere of a family home lived in day to day.

Castle Domblans (39)
15TH-CENTURY ESTATE IN DOMBLANS In Domblans, on the banks of the Seille and nestled within lush greenery, this 15th-century château has stood the test of time. A stately home, it retains a distinctive presence, thanks to its ancient stonework and its setting within the Jura landscape. Behind its porch, nearly 800 m² of living space opens onto a 7-hectare park, a lake and several outbuildings. An estate where history and nature strike a perfect balance. A PRESENCE ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE JURA The Château de Domblans is part of a deep-rooted historical legacy, situated on the banks of the Seille, within a landscape shaped by vineyards, stone and water. Over the centuries, the property has evolved, transforming itself with restraint. The 19th-century restorations then served to affirm its architectural identity, in a respectful dialogue with the existing structure. The château thus became a discreet witness to regional history, passing through the ages without ever severing its ties to the land. The courtyard arranges the buildings and creates a sense of distance between each structure. Below, the pond forms a self-contained water feature, bordered by dense vegetation. The pathways are organised between the courtyard and the landscape. The stone terraces extend the rooms out to the thresholds. Further down, the swimming pool is situated within a defined, mineral-like space, set back from the main circulation routes. LIVED-IN ARCHITECTURE, BETWEEN VOLUMES AND MATERIALS From the entrance, the materials make a striking impression. The façades, the old stones, the openings and the lines of the building create a presence that is both understated and structured. Inside, the original features complement the spaces: exposed beams, vaults, fireplaces, wood panelling, old floors and generous ceiling heights. The spaces unfold fluidly, revealing varied perspectives and living areas that are both intimate and open. Fifteen living rooms and seven bedrooms, some on the ground floor, create a layout ideal for family life and entertaining. The whole retains a warm, almost timeless atmosphere, where every detail contributes to a sense of rootedness and continuity. A PROPERTY OPEN TO NATURE AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES Surrounding the château, the 7-hectare grounds feature a progressive layout of spaces, alternating between open areas and more secluded sections. Pathways wind their way through, connecting the buildings, the immediate surroundings and the more distant parts of the estate. The pond lies below, bordered by dense vegetation, and serves as a visual focal point. Centuries-old trees frame the views and filter the scenery, whilst the orchard and springs extend this diversity of atmospheres. The outdoor areas allow for a variety of uses, ranging from receptions and outdoor activities to more secluded spaces. The whole site flows seamlessly between the castle's surroundings and the more natural parts of the estate. The outbuildings extend this concept. The barn, orangery, former stables, workshops, cellars and attic form a collection of distinct, pre-existing structures. Each space can be put to use immediately as required. The site can thus accommodate daily life, accommodation or events, building on the existing layout. This capacity for adaptation fits seamlessly into the estate's continuity, without disrupting its balance. THE AGENCY'S VIEW We are struck by the authenticity of this place, its integration into the landscape and the harmony between architecture, nature and history. This château, with its park and pond, offers a living experience that bridges the past and the future.

Property with garden Rioz (70)
RENOVATED 18TH-CENTURY MILL, IN RIOZ On the outskirts of the small town of Rioz, set back from the centre in a preserved setting, this 18th-century mill is nestled within a landscape shaped by water and light. The living area rises above the inlet channel and the axis of the old wheel, now encased in glass, whilst the colourful spaces flow seamlessly across three levels. Outside, the grounds, traversed by the river, naturally extend this sensitive relationship with the local landscape. AN INTERIOR INSPIRED BY THE MILL'S HISTORY In Rioz, this mill, restored between 2013 and 2023, finds its balance in an environment shaped by the movement of water. The river runs alongside the property, crosses it and immediately reveals its structure, like a defining line around which the whole complex is organised. The ground floor accommodates the essential functions with precision, including the garage, laundry room, boiler room and technical areas, as well as the mill machinery directly connected to the supply canal, which has now been brought up to standard. The water rights, legally established, anchor the site in a rare continuity, hinting at the possibility of setting the wheel in motion once more.

House with garden and terrace Ville-sous-la-Ferté (10)
RIVER CHARM AND HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL ON THE BANKS OF THE AUBE MANOR HOUSE NEAR CHAUMONT On the banks of the River Aube, a former 15th-century mill, converted into a country house in the 18th century, boasts architecture that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Light-coloured stone, balanced volumes and outbuildings form a complex structured around a park of around eight hectares. Water frames the views and creates a constant dialogue between the building and nature. The interior layout reveals a structure suited to various uses, encompassing existing living spaces, areas dedicated to hospitality and spaces waiting to be reimagined. AN INTERIOR STEEPED IN HISTORY In La Ferté-sur-Aube, the walls preserve the memory of the original mill, evident in the depth of the spaces and the flow of the rooms. The living areas flow seamlessly into one another, accommodating both daily life and larger gatherings. The bedrooms, including several suites, form part of this continuity. One part of the house offers the privacy of residential use, whilst another lends itself to accommodation. Other spaces, still in the making, provide a foundation for future development, hinting at additional fittings depending on the projects envisaged. Further along, certain spaces reveal a more distinct purpose. A former professional kitchen, designed to orchestrate shared moments, evokes the past presence of renowned chefs. Not far away, a reception room continues this theme, allowing one to imagine gatherings, celebrations or communal occasions. More discreet, the mill's former machinery stands as a unique witness. It introduces an almost scenographic dimension, where the site's technical heritage can become a backdrop for more unexpected experiences or uses. The site suggests as much as it structures, leaving room for gradual appropriation, somewhere between habitation and project. THE PARK AS A REFUGE Outside, the estate stretches across meadows, mature trees and a natural riverside. The park, covering around eight hectares, forms an open landscape, ideal for a variety of uses, from simple leisure to outdoor hospitality activities. The outbuildings, already partially restored, are arranged around the manor house and extend its presence. Barns, former dormitories and ancillary buildings form a structured ensemble, offering additional spaces to be utilised as required. A tennis court completes the ensemble and contributes to the estate's welcoming atmosphere. Amidst stone, water and vegetation, the site maintains a balanced rhythm, allowing for a harmonious blend of private life and hospitality. A TERRITORY TO EXPLORE At the heart of a still-unspoilt region, between the vineyards of Champagne and the great forests of northern Burgundy, La Ferté-sur-Aube sets a slower, almost suspended pace. In the immediate vicinity, the National Forest Park encompasses one of the largest protected forest areas in Western Europe, offering an immersion in unspoilt nature. The landscapes alternate between deep forests and the hillsides of Champagne. Just a few minutes away, the Côte des Bar invites you to discover a lesser-known vineyard, whilst Burgundy extends the horizon. Let's imagine a day that begins in the tranquillity of the surrounding woods. Morning light streams through the rooms, accompanying a shared breakfast. Later, the roads lead to the vineyards, the cellars open, and the traditions are passed on. The afternoon brings us back to the estate. Our pace slows in the park or the neighbouring woods, as we observe and breathe in the air. In the evening, the spaces come alive again; a table is set, the place buzzes with activity, giving way to more intimate moments or larger gatherings. In this spirit, the place welcomes as much as it inspires. It becomes the setting for stays, gatherings or celebrations, underpinned by a direct relationship between nature, architecture and use. AGENCY'S VIEW This manor house in Laferté-sur-Aube offers a clear distinction between living space and project space. A former mill converted into a residence, it is situated in a sought-after setting between Champagne and Burgundy, in the immediate vicinity of a preserved natural area. Its layout, enhanced by spaces dedicated to hospitality, gastronomy and more unique uses, allows for a variety of projects, ranging from residential to hospitality, within a fluid and evolving approach to the site.
