Manor Cande (49)
A listed historical monument Renaissance era manor with a formal garden, between Angers and Nantes, 25 minutes north of Ancenis. The manor stands on the southern edge of the church square and is surrounded to the north and east by a walled garden. The outbuilding is located on the eastern side of the property. The origins of the manor date from the 15th century, though it was considerably extended and enhanced during the following century, in 1565 to be precise, as indicated on a date stone on the façade. At this point in time, the building became flanked by a tall, square staircase tower topped with a pavilion roof. The summit of the tower boasts a conical vault, which is an architectural element typical of the Renaissance. It was built to support a small flight of stairs to the very top of the attic. The building’s structure is made of rough-hewn blocks of shale, rendered with a mix of lime and sand. Its roofs are made of slate and its chimney stacks of red brick. The tall façades are dotted with large windows and doors with tuffeau stone frames.

House with pool and garden Saint-Maixent-l'Ecole (79)
A large, elegant and comfortable house and its neighbouring building in need of restoration, in a beautiful dry-stone village in the upper Sèvre valley. The main house, built out of rubble limestone, overlooks, on its garden side, the Sèvre River from all four of its storeys, while its other façades look out on one of the most beautiful villages in the department with its medieval chateau. All the living spaces are located on the ground floor, which includes: a large living room, a small sitting room, a library or office and dining room, all decorated with nailed wide-plank hardwood floors, a variety of different fireplaces and ceilings with exposed beams or delicate stucco patterns, while the kitchen, left in its original state, has an antique square terracotta-tile floor. In the other building, a vast room, called “the chapel”, accessible via the small sitting room, could be used for galas, concerts or theatre performances. The first floor contains four bedrooms, each in a unique style – one of which has a powder room with lavatory – as well as a vast separate shower room with lavatory. On the second floor, under the insulated roof, a lounge space opens onto the staircase, while a last bedroom, bathed in sunlight, is located near the bathroom with lavatory. The rest of the floor is reserved for the attic space. As for the garden level, it includes a summer kitchen and furnace room (wood-pellet central heating), a workshop, a summer shower room with lavatory and a cellar. The house’s tile roof is in great condition as is the roofing for the outbuildings, while most of the windows are double-glazed. The garden is organised into six spaces, including the courtyard enclosed on three of its four sides by two barns and the deep, asymmetrical quadrilateral swimming pool. The four storeys of the house in need of restoration – which a small courtyard separates from the first – are accessed by a spiral staircase, which is undoubtedly older than the date displayed above the building’s arched front door: 1724. Although some of its window frames have been changed recently and the shutters are new, there are eight rooms in total that need to be refurbished, in addition to three cellars and two attic spaces. An interior garden, in which a palm tree provides a Mediterranean touch, opens onto a patio under which, thanks to the slope of the street that descends towards the bridge over the river, a garage was created.

House with garden Lille (59)
10 kilometres southeast of Lille, the Sterckeman house by the architect Paul Chemetov, nestled within a tree-filled garden and surrounded by pastures. Built out of a 5-tonne Corten steel structure and tarmacked breezeblocks in the middle of its garden, the raised black block punctuated with large picture windows, which comprises this singular habitation, is listed on the supplementary inventory for historical monuments. Towards 1970, Christian Sterckeman asked Paul Chemetov, a young architect, to build a house on the Pévèle plain. They met several months earlier for an industrial and commercial building project for the sale and distribution of caravans under the framework of his professional activity. “Living can be camping. A way of settling down without anchoring, of taking hold without taking root”. The construction was therefore designed as a prototype for an economical, reproducible, working-class model typical of its time. Perched on stilts, with its white diagonal triangulation bars, its large skydome windows and plumbing pipe guardrails, the Sterckeman house stands in the middle of a tree-filled garden surrounded by pastures. Everything is within sight. This is, of course, an architectural decision firmly inscribed in the landscape, as Paul Chemetov notes. Winner of the Grand Prix de l’Architecture in 1980, who at one point declared, “architecture is a moral construct”, he designed several emblematic Parisian buildings like the Ministry of Finances in 1989. For him, the traces of the construction and the experience of the materials mattered: “Here and now the courage is to build. Let’s leave fashion to the milliners and graphics to the graphic designers”. The Sterckeman house, with its concrete, rough breezeblock walls, exposed bricks and red metal framework, is basically a manifesto in action: that of Paul Chemetov’s societal engagement as a protagonist for the recognition of metallic structures.

House with garden and terrace Labastide-d'Armagnac (40)
A house steeped in history, from the 14th, 17th and 18th centuries, with a separate garden and barn, in the heart of a bastide in France’s Landes department. The old square Place Royale is picturesque on all four sides: a 12th-century fort-like church stands on one side and arcades forming galleries line rows of houses, which are mostly half-timbered. The village is full of buildings that date back to periods between the 14th and 18th centuries. Almost all of them have been masterfully restored. They are hidden among the countless alleys that form a grid leading to the square. Today, this historical square is a hub for encounters and conviviality, fostered by the presence of several restaurants and a parking ban here. Nearby, artists’ studios and a range of curiosities line medieval streets. For example, there is a Protestant church built in 1607 that has been turned into an exhibition centre. On the square, the house lies opposite the church. The dwelling is known as the most beautiful house in Labastide-d'Armagnac. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a loft that could be converted. It is nestled on the square’s north-east corner, so it has two entrances beneath its galleries: one leads in from the square Place Royale and the other leads in from a side street. The house faces south-east. It stands on the edge of the square, blending harmoniously into its architectural environment. The dwelling is crowned with a roof of monk-and-nun tiling on which a gabled dormer stands. The facade’s upper section, made of brick and lattice-patterned timber framing, rests upon a thick stone wall and solid beams and joists, which are supported by two stone pillars – part of a former gallery of shops. On the first floor, three segmental-arch windows with crosspieces stand behind wrought-iron guardrails. They are fitted with wooden shutters. At the back, on the north side, there is a small terrace on the first floor. Lastly, in line with the house, there are two small rooms in a section with an entrance from outside: a fitness room with a wine cellar and lavatory and a space with a recent oil boiler and its tank.

Castle Cognac (16)
In Saintonge, a late 19th century chateau with outbuildings and park covering 30 ha, crossed by a tree-lined river. A few houses past the village church square, the large gate opens up to the setting sun, to the west of the estate. While the southern facade of the chateau can be made out in the distance, a house and its outbuildings, known as 'the farm', are immediately to the right. Follow a vast barn, formerly a stable, and some workshops and garages. The driveway to the chateau is bordered with large trees. To the left of the main building, a small dwelling is set back from the master residence. In front of the latter, a basin with a fountain stretches along an alley for about 200 m, which leads to the main entrance gate to the south. To the east of the chateau, a very old, circular moat separates the park with its large trees, some of which bear fruit, from the estate's meadows. A bridge crosses the eastern pastures up to the river that meanders through the estate from north to south.

Mas Boulbon (13)
A singular country residence awaiting renovation, with a view of the Montagnette hills, Boulbon village and its windmill. The 'Mas Boun Aou' (good people's farmhouse) was originally a tenant farm, transformed in the 20th century into a country residence and later into an artist's house. A painter lived and worked here until the end of the last century, spending much of his time contemplating the surrounding countryside. Thereafter, many artists stayed here, escaping the frenzy of the world. Boun Aou bears the imprint of these successive stays, all of which had one thing in common: the search for seclusion. On the garden side, the elegant facade, built of opus incertum with rough-cut stones bonded with white mortar, bears the date 1875. Facing south/south-east, it features tall windows and large glass doors, highly unusual in Provence architecture, which generally favours small openings to provide better protection from the heat. Carved ornaments with mascaron, cornucopia and antique head motifs above the door frames probably bear witness to the time when a local dignitary lived here, as if to underline the nobility of this farmhouse of rural origin. A sundial adorns the corner of the south-east wall. A vast, empty hayloft adjoining the main building has a carriage door opening onto the countryside, providing further evidence of the building's rural past. The interior of the farmhouse is very rustic, with Ardèche chestnut beams showing branding marks from being floated down the Rhône, preserving the quaint atmosphere of the country homes of yesteryear. The interior masonry walls, often exposed, of the same type of 'cyclopean' massive stonework as on the outside, feature recesses designed to house votive statuettes. All the windows and doors open onto a garden of biblical species: pomegranate, olive, cypress, fig and myrtle trees. The discreetly shaped openings in the foliage offer views of the poetic Montagnette landscape, south of the Alpilles hills.

Castle Roanne (42)
A 15th-century chateau on a 13-hectare estate, an hour from Lyon. Protected from all visual and audible nuisances, this Renaissance-style chateau has been lived in since the Gallo-Roman era. It is reached via a lane going through a wood, concealing all of the buildings. Gates open on to a large courtyard which, set in the middle of an estate spanning 13 continuous hectares of woods and meadows, is bordered by all of the buildings. The limits are visible, marked by tall trees forming a natural perimeter wall. Destroyed by fire in 1594 during the Holy League Wars, the chateau was rebuilt immediately afterwards. Restored, it still currently features stone mascarons representing people on the west facade of the large interior courtyard. Jeanne-Chézard-de-Matel, founder of the Order of the Incarnate Word, was born here. The Poulot family inherited the property at the end of the 19th century.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche (78)
In a private lane on the edge of the Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche golf course, a 270 m² house facing southwest with an outdoor pool. At the end of a private shared lane and sheltered from view is the property with a fenced garden, pool, and double garage. It includes four bedrooms - five possible. The house, approximately 305 m² on the ground - 270 m² according to the Carrez law - is organized in two wings at right angles, open to the garden.

Once the gate is crossed, a pathway with a wooden plank floor, reminiscent of the villas of Cap Ferret, leads to the entrance and establishes an elegant and natural atmosphere. The materials contribute to the character of the residence: wooden cladding that evokes coastal houses, bricks that add relief and color, and roofs with zinc slopes that underscore contemporary design. An annex building houses a double garage, in front of which is a parking area for several vehicles.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mas Sisteron (04)
At the gates of Sisteron, with the Jabron valley on the horizon, a Provençal farmhouse on a 1.3-hectare plot, its olive grove and its thicket. The entrance gate, to the north of the farmhouse, is accessible via a rarely traveled paved communal road, which serves a few properties and olive groves, without any overlooking. It leads to a vast courtyard that connects to a garage and the main entrance of the family house built in 1994 and facing south. The main facade opens onto a spacious summer kitchen, a true outdoor living space, with a terracotta tiled floor from Launes. Under a traditional roof with exposed flat tiles, the oak framework of Durance and the chestnut rafters form a beautifully crafted ensemble. From the courtyard, the outdoor living areas are only revealed by stepping back, using a covered passage between the garage and the farmhouse, or through the garden that runs along a thicket of oaks. A garden lounge is placed there. Located as close as possible to the first olive trees, a swimming pool, facing directly south and constantly sunlit, extends the views over the olive groves and the surrounding wooded hills.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Beautiran (33)
In Beautiran, right on the Garonne, a late 19th-century house with a dependency and pool, on a plot of 8,000 m². Built in 1893, the property spans a large square plot of 8,000 m² along the Garonne. The plot, measuring 80 x 100 m, is organized around a main house flanked by a stone dependency. The architecture combines regional bourgeois codes with details inspired by seaside tourism: broad sloping roofs, generous overhangs, and harmonious integration into the river landscape. A visible structure of rafters and wooden posts, painted the same color as the shutters, supports the entire structure. The eaves are made of a slatted paneling, while its marked slope and wide overhang protect the facades of the blonde stone house and reinforce its horizontal silhouette.

The first floor houses three bedrooms, each with its private shower room, as well as a separate bathroom with toilet.

Seaside house with garden Penvénan (22)
A 20th-century dwelling with sea views and direct access to the beach, facing the Isle of Women, on Brittany’s Golden Gorse Coast. The property is accessible via a wide and open road, which leads to a small car park used by shore fishermen, hikers and Penvénan residents before continuing its trajectory towards the Dunes white sand beach, three minutes away by car. Nearby, the GR34 hiking trail winds its way along the coast, while the quiet neighbourhood in which the property is located alternates between main residences and second homes. Entirely surrounded by walls, the property is accessible via two entrances: a small white wooden gate as well as another larger gate, similar in style, which makes it possible to park several vehicles on the property. On the dwelling’s sea-facing side, a low wall, separating the property from a pebble beach, makes it possible to enjoy breath-taking maritime panoramas, while, on the dwelling’s street side, this low wall is extended by a hedge, which creates a natural setting that effectively shields the property from view. As for the dwelling, featuring two right-angle structures, it is topped with two perpendicular slate gable roofs and abuts an outbuilding with skylights. With its entrance hidden behind a cypress tree, the latter is arranged around a small entrance hall that provides access to two summer bedrooms with sea views. Featuring two pairs of white wooden shutters, the dwelling is partially elevated and includes a basement garage in its lower section, while besides one plaster-coated wall, the exteriors, cadenced by several hanging dormers on either side, which add undeniable charm, are built out of pointed granite rubble stone with ashlar stone window/door surrounds.

Castle Ussel (19)
In Haute-Corrèze, on the edge of a village, a 15th-century restored castle, with outbuildings and ponds, on a 73-hectare estate, more than 21 hectares of which are woods and land. The castle, whose oldest parts date back to the 15th century, was built on the probable site of a feudal motte from the 9th century. Its layout essentially follows the structure of the medieval walls, documented since the 13th century, which still organizes the site today. The north facade faces the village church and a neo-Gothic chapel of the estate built in 1898. It is integrated into the enclosing wall, which extends east and west and delineates immediate access to the property. Two gates provide access to the estate. To the northeast, the first leads to the gardens, parking areas, annex buildings, a swimming pool, and a passage to an honor courtyard. The second gate opens onto a driveway that runs along the western side of the castle to the honor courtyard. The stone facades and slates from Travassac have undergone complete restoration. The gravel honor courtyard is bordered by the two main wings, also called the "small" and "large" parts, built with three levels and arranged at a right angle. The courtyard is closed off to the south by a fortified wall that overlooks a zone of dry moats. The two wings are separated by a passageway that connects the courtyard to the back of the castle, its dependencies, gardens, and swimming pool. The small part extends along a north-south axis around a rectangular building flanked by a residential tower. The large part, oriented east-west, consists of several buildings and towers, including a spiral staircase tower and a square tower marking the angle of the right angle. To the south, an inner enclosing wall marks the transition to the estate's land and contributes to the staging of the castle, established as a belvedere. It is punctuated by stone staircases and, near the swimming pool, by a circular turret with a pepper-box roof.This description has been automatically translated from French.
