Mill Dinan (22)
In the Côtes-d'Armor countryside, 30 minutes from Dinan, an old tannery mill converted into a residence, with its wheel and its watercourse. A gate opens onto a courtyard and a large garden. The watercourse runs along the property to the south. The main dwelling rises to the north, along a road, with the mill extending from it. Originally a wheat mill, it has been converted for tanning and significantly altered during the 19th century. Milling activities ceased in the early 1960s, and it became a residence. Built of granite rubble, the building features rectangular openings framed in ashlar stone and includes a garden-level, an elevated ground floor, and an attic. The whole structure is topped with a slate roof with long slopes. The north and south facades retain traces of several construction campaigns, notably metal ties whose round heads are visible, as well as a raising made of wattle and daub and timber framing. The water building, to the east, houses two former horses and the still functional hydraulic wheel. This part is built with brick and timber framing.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Saint-Malo (35)
In Saint-Malo Intra-Muros, an apartment of nearly 70 m² and its attic with a sea view. The apartment occupies a building dated from the mid-17th century, which survived the bombings of 1944 and where the famous admiral Mahé de La Bourdonnais is said to have been born. The structure, built of rubble with granite stone window surrounds, rises three square stories under the roof. The whole is topped with a slate roof pierced by dormer windows of the gerbière and chien assis types. The wooden carved entrance door is one of the last remaining in old Saint-Malo. The arch bears the date 1652, while some sculpted elements seem to be older. The entrance opens into a corridor leading to a vestibule. These spaces have parquet flooring. An old wooden staircase serves the floors, while a second leads to the cellars.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the old town of Ciutadella, a renovated village house on three levels. In the old town of Ciutadella, there are houses you wouldn’t guess existed from the street. This one is one of them. The facade gives no hint of what lies behind it: three stories, four bedrooms, a living space opening onto a patio that the solarium, at the very top, frames against the sky. The renovation chose its battles wisely. It preserved the most essential elements of Menorcan architecture—the stone, the proportions, the way the rooms are arranged around the central open space—and simply restored its clarity. This house is just a few steps away from the cathedral. And even closer to silence.

Castle Buzançais (36)
A listed historical monument castle with vast outbuildings and 33-hectare grounds in the Centre-Val de Loire region . In the 15th century, a companion in arms and adviser to Louis XI built a sumptuous keep close to the original fortified manor house. In the 16th century, his descendants had four wings added to the original structure, featuring the Italianate galleries that are the hallmark of the present-day castle. One of these galleries was removed during the French Revolution, opening up the view over the grounds, while another of these wings was completely transformed into a corps-de-logis in the 19th century. The three remaining wings are thus arranged around an open courtyard, flanked by three round towers and the imposing former square keep at the corners. Standing near to the castle, the outbuildings form a long complex of 17th-century buildings. On three sides, they enclose a vast farmyard, in the centre of which stood the parish church until the 18th century, when it was moved to the village. The remains of a ditch and a drawbridge suggest that the complex was surrounded by a moat. The grounds extend beyond the complex, crossed by the river and featuring a 4-hectare lake with its landing stage and hut. The property's 35 hectares are entirely walled, with a turret seemingly standing guard at each corner. Two high entrance gates open onto the village, one in front of the castle and the other opposite the outbuildings. A third gate provides access to a country lane running along the perimeter wall.

House Valence (16)
In a village in the Drôme des collines, a 18th-century house, its swimming pool, and its 4-hectare park. The property known as 'Le Valrey' has its origins in the 17th century. It is organized around a characterful house located at the top of a slight rocky promontory, overlooking its park and the surrounding landscapes. The whole is largely enclosed by walls and has two accesses: one through a porch located next to the church, the other through a gate opening onto the road. The main residence, built according to the traditional plan of Dauphiné houses, is raised over three levels under a four-pitched roof covered with old flat tiles. A cornice highlights the façades, which are coated with lime in a light beige tone, revealing the cut stone in places. The openings, regularly arranged, are equipped with small-paned windows and wooden painted shutters in a light bluish-gray. The entrance is marked by a wooden door, adorned with a knocker. Surrounding the house is a vast park in the English style, composed of wide terraces, tall trees, and winding paths that follow the natural relief of the land.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor La Roche-Jaudy (22)
In Brittany, 10 minutes south of Tréguier, a manor and its 14th-century porch house, set on around 8 hectares of meadows. The property is organized around a large courtyard that brings together several stone buildings under slate roofing.The old manor, identifiable by its entrance porch and its ancient layout, constitutes the founding dwelling of the ensemble. Dated from the 14th century, it features a pointed arch opening. Its frame consists of an archivolt with several rows of moldings resting on engaged colonnettes. An upper arch surmounts it and carries a trilobed stone. Above the passage, a narrow window with a granite frame is set in the thickness of the wall.

House with pool Grez-Doiceau (Belgium)
In Walloon Brabant, a 19th-century farm with a main house and separate dwellings. A square-layout farmhouse is never built at random. The enclosed courtyard provided shelter from the wind, organized daily work, and separated different functions without ever separating the inhabitants. This one, built in the 19th century, still follows this layout with a fidelity that the regional heritage inventory has finally recognized, without, however, subjecting it to the constraints of a formal designation. The main farmhouse has retained the spirit of this Brabant rural architecture: living spaces that flow seamlessly into one another, numerous bedrooms, and an office with a separate entrance that serves as a reminder that these farms once housed multiple activities at the same time. Surrounding it, former living quarters occupy what were once barns, garages, or attics, continuing the Brabant tradition of having multiple households live together under one roof. Brussels is 30 km away. Here, time moves at a different pace.

House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the historic center of Ciutadella, a stately home of nearly 400 m². The stately homes of Ciutadella are recognizable by their silence. Behind facades that give no hint of their scale, they unfold into entire floors that only the occupant eventually comes to know fully. This one spans nearly 400 m², a legacy of the Menorcan nobility who built for several generations at once. A building permit is already included with the property, outlining five bedrooms and living spaces organized according to the layout typical of the island’s grand urban residences. The interior courtyard and terrace serve as a reminder that even in the heart of the densest urban fabric, Ciutadella has always managed to reserve a glimpse of the sky. What this house once was remains evident. What it will become depends solely on a permit that has already been signed.

House Andrezieux-boutheon (42)
Less than 1 hour from Lyon, overlooking the Forez plain, a house, a villa, and a lodge, set in a park of about 6,200 m². At the end of a small road, the entrance gate commands two paths: one paved, leading to the 'large house' in 18th-century style and its adjoining 'lodge', the other leads to the 'villa', an old building with renovated interiors. The two residences are situated on either side of a driveway lined with cypress trees, and each has a plot on which the construction of a pool is possible. Further along, a large 'workshop', partially glazed, dominates the landscaped park with terraces. The property is for sale in its entirety but can also be sold in two separate lots: one grouping the large house, the lodge, and a plot of about 3,500 m², priced at €1,368,000, the other including the villa, the workshop, and approximately 3,000 m² of land, priced at €832,000.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the old town of Ciutadella, a four-story house built in 1860, with a patio and terraces under the Menorcan sky. 1860 was a time when Ciutadella was still building upward to escape the heat without turning its back on the street. This house belongs to that precise moment in the city’s history, when each floor offered a little more coolness and privacy, and when the green shutters served a climatic purpose before they were a matter of aesthetics. The renovation respected this original intent rather than altering it. The wood, the stone, and the proportions of each room still tell the story of how people once lived in a city closed in on itself, turned toward its courtyards rather than the outside world. Four levels, a patio, two terraces under the Ciutadella sky. The city has continued to exist through this house more than it has passed through it.

House Alaior (Spain)
In the Menorca countryside, near Cala en Porter, a 112-hectare property dating from 1896 with a house of approximately .... 1896, whether carved into stone or simply recorded in the property deeds, the date matters less than what it confirms. One hundred twelve hectares of Menorcan countryside, Talayotic monuments within sight, and a house that has never strayed from its century. The 548 m² of floor space is spread over two stories, with the original floors and exposed beams running uninterrupted throughout. A living room with a fireplace, a separate kitchen, and wide porches where the air circulates as it always has. In the garage, an old bread oven serves as a reminder of what this house has long provided. The renovation is still in progress. As for its history, it doesn’t wait for us to finish it.

Mas Draguignan (83)
A modern Provençal house with over two hectares of terraced grounds in a calm, shady spot near the quaint village of Flayosc in south-east France. A country lane snakes around vineyards and oak woods and leads up to the property’s gate. The house stands on a hillside on one level of its terraced grounds. It enjoys a commanding position and offers a spectacular vista of a wooded valley to the south and a terraced olive grove to the west. A gable roof of monk-and-nun tiling, typical of the local region, crowns this contemporary dwelling nestled in the beautiful Dracénois area of France’s Var department. The house faces south. French windows lead out of its south elevation. Windows dot its east and west sides too. A few steps lead down to a swimming pool and garden from a terrace that extends at the foot of the dwelling’s south-facing facade. The property’s two hectares guarantee absolute calm and privacy. A barrier of vegetation keeps this haven free of any unwanted noise. A video of the property is available on request.

House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the countryside near Ciutadella, Menorca, a 7.5-hectare property with a main building divided into two residences .... Seven and a half hectares just a few minutes from Ciutadella. The figure always surprises those discovering Menorca for the first time: the island still retains the vast open spaces that the Mediterranean has lost elsewhere—that sense of open, unspoiled land now found only far from the most sought-after coastlines. The main building features Menorcan stone in its thick walls—the kind that the island’s builders hewn to withstand the wind and keep the interior cool in summer. Over time, it has been divided into two dwellings, each retaining its share of this raw material and the light that filters through the rooms without ever overwhelming them. Surrounding the house are a shed, a chicken coop, and a stone cistern—remnants of the rural way of life that the property has never strayed from. The historic center is nearby, as are the wild beaches. But here, it is the stone that speaks first.

Castle Joigny (89)
In Burgundy, along the Yonne River, a 19th-century castle and its 1.4 ha park. After returning from South Africa where he made a fortune, the patron of the Château de Belle-Rive had it built in 1885, on the foundations of an old inn. Inspired by neo-Gothic architecture and Renaissance style, this holiday residence has retained, thanks to significant recent renovations, the character that has made it famous in the local landscape. Set in a wooded park of about 1.4 ha, which partly borders the left bank of the Yonne, the house, raised in three levels including an attic, enjoys a peaceful setting, from which the views extend beyond the river, towards the valley and its wooded hills. The main access to the property is from a street in the village, whose center is accessible on foot, via an imposing wrought-iron gate. Past the former caretaker's house, at the end of a driveway, the building reveals itself, flanked on either side by two centenary sequoias. Oriented east/west, it has a hefty and human-scale silhouette. A glass gallery, occupying two levels over most of the central body, serves as the entrance. The reception rooms are oriented to the east and open onto the garden and the banks of the stream. The living spaces total approximately 490 m². In the distance, a classified historical monument can be seen above the water: it is the last suspension bridge that crosses the Yonne.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Faro (Portugal)
In the Faro hinterland, in Santa Bárbara de Nexe, a villa set on terraced grounds planted with fruit trees. The Algarve has two faces, and most visitors know only one: that of the coast—bustling, lively, and facing the sea. And then there is the hinterland, which Santa Bárbara de Nexe embodies with its terraced hills, almond trees, and a silence that the proximity of Faro never disturbs. This villa belongs to the second side. Built in harmony with the landscape rather than against it, it arranges its gardens, pool, and terraces according to the same logic as the crops that have surrounded it for generations. The sea is visible in the distance. But here, it is the land that speaks first.

Manor Lisieux (14)
An 18th-century manor with 4,000m² of lush grounds on the Camino de Santiago pilgrims’ way in Normandy’s Calvados department. The manor stands on slopes on the north side of Lisieux, near the River Touques. It is nestled in a lush backdrop. The property’s origins date back to the Middle Ages. It owes its name to a canon who would receive a prebend from the bishop in return for teaching the Holy Scriptures. The extensive plot of land forms a triangle where two calm roads meet. The majestic building is a single edifice that looks out at lush lawns, which extend around a driveway. The driveway leads to the manor and garage. It splits into two separate lanes that run along either side of the manor. A group of tall trees on the north side lies beyond an orchard, a vegetable patch and lawns. A thick thuja hedge encloses the grounds, ensuring absolute privacy. Beyond it, there is a semi-rural environment of green landscape that is dotted with woods and that stretches to the horizon. The manor was built in the 1780s and 1790s when forest-clearing had almost been completed in the region. It is a half-timbered construction with timber framing that is typical of architecture in the Pays d’Auge province. The main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. Oak was used for the building’s framework. Cob filler was used for the spaces between the beams and then lime-rendered. This method was inexpensive during the house’s period of construction. Today, it characterises the identity and charm of traditional Norman homes. The timber framing is mainly in the building’s upper section, its lower section being made of brick and stone. Old tiles cover the hipped roof. A protruding section on the east side that leads out southwards was built in the same style as the rest of the house, probably after the Second World War. Its roof has a jerkinhead end and eaves. The roof also has two dormers that face, at a right angle, two dormers on the roof’s east slope. On the entrance side, there are three other hipped dormers. Two brick chimney stacks rise up from the roof too. All the windows are single-glazed and have small panes. At the end of the house, an additional section adjoins the manor. It has a gable roof of old tiles with a small dormer. This extension forms a garage. It is used as a utility section and was probably originally a farm building to which the manor was added.

House with garden La Croix-Valmer (83)
An early-20th-century Mediterranean villa to be renovated in a commanding position with a sea view, nestled in 4,200m² of tree-dotted grounds in the town of La Croix-Valmer. From the town centre of La Croix-Valmer, a small secondary road snakes between grand villas – tokens of an era when tourism revealed one of the most beautiful spots on the French Riviera. Beyond a bend, a discreet tree-lined track leads up to a large gate – the property’s main entrance. Once you have gone through this gate, a drive takes you to a parking area in the shade of age-old trees and to a garage in the eastern section of the house’s semibasement. The edifice faces south-west. It stands on the edge of the property, in the plot’s north-west corner. This frees up a vast area of the garden at a lower level. The facade is coated with white rendering and it has a granite base course. It forms an L shape with a left-hand gable wall that protrudes slightly beneath a roof of green tiles. There is a raised ground floor and a first floor. This facade is punctuated with quoins in a notched pattern and windows of varied shapes set in surrounds with mouldings that have different motifs. On the top level, there is a balcony of finely carved wood that offers an unrivalled sea view and vistas of the lush surroundings. A small flight of steps leads up to the porch of the main entrance door, which takes you into the raised ground floor. A lacquered canopy crowns the porch, which has a glazed wall with tinted edges and wooden framing that recalls the other timber embellishments of the elevations and roofing and that give the edifice stylistic coherence. The eaves are supported with solid braces of wood crafted into curves and painted in the same yellow tone as the window frames, balustrades and shutters. The rear of the house is separated from the front by a small inner court that brings natural light into the adjoining rooms. The rear section is lower in height than the front section. Different roofs of red tiles are juxtaposed upon it. One of them crowns a polygonal tower. This rear section gives the house depth and mostly contains service rooms.

House Meudon (92)
In Meudon, a testament to the avant-garde architecture of the 1950s, André Bloc's atelier-house designed by Claude Parent awaits restoration - listed as a historical monument. Protected by a long surrounding wall and dense foliage, the property stands out with a discreet access point set in a recess. The house was designed between 1955 and 1956 by Claude Parent, the 'architect of the oblique', an advocate for avant-garde architecture serving imagination and utopia. The commission came from André Bloc, a versatile creator, both sculptor, architect, painter, and publisher, who supported the integration of arts into architecture. He had previously had his house built on the same land—the 'Bloc house', whose garden houses the monumental sculptures-habitacles of the artist—he decided to establish his workshop next to it. The atelier-house, named the 'Guardian House', is located below a wooded area of over 2,000 m², with no visibility from neighbors. It is visually hidden from the 'Bloc house' by a screen of bamboo, with the two forming a co-ownership. Combining several materials—stone, concrete, glass, and metal—the Guardian House blends straight, rounded, and oblique lines. Far from the functionalism of classical architecture from the 1950s, it is designed to follow the slope of the land and break away from any symmetry. Unique, it is as much a home as a work of art. Today, it includes, on the garden level, a living room shielded from view where the south and west light is filtered by abundant vegetation, a spacious dining area with a fireplace, and a kitchen. A spiral staircase (designed by Roger Tallon) leads to the upper floor, which features three bedrooms, each opening to the outside through large bay windows, two bathrooms, and toilets. The main bedroom, of significant dimensions, benefits from a terrace surrounded by greenery. A garage is also adjoining the house. The entire property requires a complete renovation to meet current standards while preserving its architectural stance. The large, sloping land provides a wooded and private setting in keeping with the original purpose of the place, which was to encourage retreat and concentration. It also has a disused swimming pool today, which could easily be brought back into service or transformed into an ornamental pond or aquatic garden. The entrance, marked by a red metal gate, evokes Calder's creations, although it was made by Bloc and Parent. The three statues by André Bloc, which are located in the garden—and are not included in the listed ensemble—can be acquired in addition to the price.

Apartment Paris 16ᵗʰ (75)
A high-ceilinged Parisian apartment bathed in natural light in a former belle époque workshop in the French capital’s 16th arrondissement. The edifice stands out for its pale brickwork facade with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The entrance door is set in a surround of blue enamelled ceramic made by the famous French ceramist Émile Müller. This surround is embellished with ceramic tiles with floral and foliage motifs in an art nouveau style and is crowned with a lion’s head. Beyond the entrance door, there is a hallway with a staircase that displays an astonishing ceramic frieze – a listed work in the local land use plan. It is a tall frieze of Persian archers made by Émile Müller. Enamelled bricks adorn the walls and faithfully reflect a frieze from the Palace of Darius in Susa, Iran. Wooden steps lead up to the second floor. Beyond the apartment’s door, there is a vast 120m² space with a five-metre-high ceiling. The main part is an open-plan space bathed in an abundance of natural light from a huge glazed east-facing wall of large panes set in wooden frames. This extensive glazing is the architectural centrepiece of this former workshop. It looks down at an inner court in which the colourful elevations of the neighbouring buildings display a picture that changes over the course of the day. Wood strip flooring of solid oak with a patina of time extends across all the rooms. Its honey tinge and broad planks invite your gaze to explore the apartment. The pure-white walls underline the true sizes of the rooms and reflect the light. The layout respects the workshop’s original fluidity and keeps its character while organising distinct purposes for the different spaces. Beside the huge glazed wall, there is a workspace. The centre is taken up by a relaxation area with contemporary furniture. And a kitchen lies beneath a mezzanine. You reach this mezzanine via a white staircase with geometric lines, to the left of the entrance hall. An open-plan reading room lies up on this mezzanine and a landing connects to the main bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub, a lavatory and a window. One last flight of stairs takes you up to a second bedroom in the roof space.
