The main edifice was built in the 19th century. It is made of rubble schist. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is crowned with a gabled slate roof. An extension was added to the original building in the 2000s.

    Property Vertou (44)

    An elegant, neo-Gothic inspired residence, in 2 hectares of grounds, near to Nantes, overlooking the River Sèvre. On the left bank of the River Sèvre, the estate spreads over 2 uninterrupted hectares. After the entrance gate, a winding drive passes below the dense foliage of ancient oak trees. As it does, it passes in front of a 36-m² annex building used as a garage, then an enclosed, approximately 640-m² orchard overlooked by an around 35-m² Anjou style greenhouse with most of its glass panes intact. The drive finishes in a courtyard where the residence stands, facing southwest. In its current form, it is thought to date back to the late 19th century, between 1870 and 1890. It boasts approximately 550 m² of living space, spread throughout a basement covering the whole surface of the building, a raised ground floor, a first floor and a converted attic. The entirely fenced grounds gently slope down towards the river. Tall hundred-year-old trees are dotted around the grounds.

    Manor Condécourt (95)

    A manor house awaiting renovation with outbuildings, a swimming pool, a lake and almost seven hectares of tree-dotted grounds, nestled in France’s Vexin regional nature park, just north of Paris. The edifice stands on grounds that cover almost seven hectares. You reach the property via a lane lined with woods and partly edged with the property’s outer wall of exposed stonework. A gate leads onto a long, paved driveway, framed between lawns and box shrubs. A caretaker’s house and a garage stand beside this driveway. Straight ahead, there is the manor house, which was built in the 17th century. It gradually comes into view. The edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It stone facade is coated with pale rendering. Its roof of small, flat tiles was fully renovated a few years ago. On the other side of the building, beyond a terrace next to it, there is a vast area of parkland with a large swimming pool, another outhouse, a tennis court to be renovated, an orchard and a wood that surrounds a lake.

    House Coutances (50)

    A rural estate from the 19th century, renovated and converted into guesthouses, near Pointe d’Agon and a number of beaches on the Cotentin peninsula. The property is accessible via a country road, lined by historical homes, fields and verdant hedges. The dwellings are scattered around the property and, according to the local tradition, connected via a network of branched alleyways and no-through roads. Accessible via a gate, the southern entrance is preceded by a long, finely-crafted fence that encloses a portion of the buildings and a tree-filled courtyard, while, continuing on from here, a dry stone wall encircles the rest of the property. On one side, a small raised path leads to another grassy entrance, and provides views of the entire estate. Forming a long, flared quadrilateral, the plot is divided in two by a massive rectilinear building, which creates a horizontal boundary. Topped with six chimneys and connected to two other oblong dwellings at a right angle, the main dwelling is accessible via a gravel courtyard, which is carpeted by a vast expanse of lawn at its centre. To the north, another more recent construction provides a sense of symmetry to the estate, and is connected to the other buildings via a wide swath of lawn. Tall walls that extend up to the central building enclose this portion of the property, while, beyond, three other large lawns bordered by trees define the property’s edges. Built using the foundations of a former farmyard and reconverted into guesthouses, the three main dwellings, with slate gable roofs punctuated by skylights, create a feeling of homogeneity. Their ground floors are all located below street level as well as a portion of the grounds, where once a barnyard or moats must have existed. Walkways connect the different levels of the buildings with the courtyards, open or enclosed by low walls, while thick solid or semi-circular stone walls create boundaries between the property’s different subdivided sections. In addition, the dwellings all have PVC double-glazed windows and doors with ashlar stone surrounds, lintels and jambs. In addition, a small building with a tile gable roof meant for the property’s machinery is located along the secondary courtyard.

    Property Noailles (60)

    A 19th-century property including a country house, farmyard buildings and an artist’s studio in a romantic garden almost 1 hour from Paris, at the gateway to Normandy, in the Oise area and at the heart of the Pays de Thellle sector. The entrance gate leads to the rear of the property. The façade of an initial building built at the end of the 19th century stands next to an old brick farmhouse. From the gate pillars, the finely crafted roof of the imposing Eiffel-inspired conservatory can be seen. The Directory era style house is coated with white rendering. As with all the buildings that make up the property, it has a gabled roof. Above the conservatory, on the gable end, a bullseye window looks out over the property. Facing the street, there are three openings with Directory era style frames in the main house and five windows in the old brickwork of the former farmhouse. There are several chimney stacks on the roof made of Beauvais tiles. Inside the property’s walls stand the country house and conservatory, in front of which the garden stretches out. To the side, a central courtyard communicates with all the former farmhouse buildings, which boast elegant awnings above the doors. The two areas are joined by a second gateway topped by an old birdbath. The upper floor of the old farmhouse building is flooded with light through shed dormer windows. Enclosing the courtyard on a third side, a former farm building used as an artist’s studio completes the complex. At a right angle, a second house opens onto the garden. In the four corners of the property there are an orchard, a vegetable garden, a soft fruit orchard and lawns planted with trees over a hundred years old. Towards the edge of the property, the garden is framed by tall trees, opening up views over the surrounding countryside.

    House Nantes (44)

    A grand house with a remarkable view, overlooking the banks of the River Erdre, 15 kilometres from Nantes. The entrance to the property is via a motorised, wrought iron gate at the end of a cul-de-sac off a small local road. A drive traverses a thicket and runs around the back of the house, leading to garages and a Directoire-style terrace. From here, the majestic view opens out over the parkland below and the Erdre at its widest point. The steeply sloping grounds, planted with centuries-old trees, end in a bank almost 100 m long, featuring a private jetty. A small country house built by the town's former mayor on the banks of the River Erdre in 1821, it was subsequently remodelled with the addition of a Directoire-style double dormer window. Two wings were added in the early 20th century, lending the residence its true 'folie nantaise' (Nantes folly) appearance, named after the summer villas built by wealthy industrialists at that time. The rectangular folly has a central section with three bays, flanked by two single-bay wings. At the top of the grounds, close to the entrance gates, there are discreet outbuildings used for parking vehicles and storing equipment. Their coursed schist masonry walls and tiled roofs stand in no contrast with those of the noble building, with its rendered facades and slate roof.

    Castle Penne-d'Agenais (47)

    A 13th and 16th century listed historical monument residence bordering the river and on 2.5 hectares of meadows in north-east Lot-et-Garonne . The discreet, almost mysterious residence is hidden behind a copse of trees, barely visible from the main road. The tarmac drive becomes a stony track as it winds its way between the rows of trees. After passing a pond and a bamboo hedge on the right, followed by the first evidence of the property in the form of two impressive stone pillars, the main driveway leads to two wrought-iron pillars supporting lanterns and to the dwelling. A few well-arranged flagstones guide visitors towards the entrance. The three-storey residence is set near to oak trees and a chestnut tree. To the east, the meadow bordering the garden provides some distance from a few neighbouring houses. On the south side, a meadow stretches as far as the banks of the river Lot below.

    House Manosque (04)

    A unique, centuries-old chateau and its terraced garden on the edge of a typical Provence village set in a regional nature park . A raised driveway bordered by hedges leads from the village to the estate. A wide wrought iron gate, framed by two masonry pilasters and topped by an interlaced decorative motif, marks the entrance to the property. The terrace in the upper part of the estate reveals a succession of buildings and the long eastern facade, as well magnificent views towards the valley in the distance. The scent of boxwood and roses wafts across the landscape, while the sound of trickling water can be heard in the moat below. Built in the 17th century and enlarged in the 18th century following the main stylistic principles of classical Provence architecture, the building was extensively altered in the 19th century with the addition of a corner tower and an aviary, giving it its current castle-like appearance. The various parts of the edifice, which have survived the centuries, thus present a unique appearance, somewhere between a bastide (Provence farmhouse) and a chateau. The complex comprises four different sections. Three of them have juxtaposed east-facing elevations with regular, symmetrical windows, while the fourth is set back behind its stone-paved courtyard and blue-painted wrought-iron gate and railings. The western facades have fewer and more discreet windows than the other elevations and are all aligned along a little-used village street to the rear of the buildings. The different materials used for the facades and roofs - coursed rubble masonry, brick, slate and terracotta - reflect the construction periods of the various buildings and extensions. The buildings are bordered by several terraced garden areas, benefiting from a water source in the village that is reputed to be inexhaustible. The upper level, at the foot of the château, comprises a rose garden with its pond to the south, a terrace with its water fountain and an impressive chestnut tree in the centre and, to the north, a formal French-style garden with its parterre of pruned box and a series of eleven vaulted ponds, fed by the spring and releasing the overflow of water at the bottom of the estate. A large field at the bottom of the estate provides a distant view of the valley overlooked by the chateau.

    House with pool Cavalaire-sur-Mer (83)

    On the heights of Cavalaire, a villa with building potential, its landscaped garden of 1,500 m² and its swimming pool, 900 m from the sea. From Le Rayol or La Croix-Valmer, the coastal road accesses the residential area of Parc de Cavalaire, where the property is located. Built on one of the town's hills, the house, at the end of a cul-de-sac, is about 900 m from the sea, in a preserved environment free from noise and visual nuisances. A paved path leads to two parking spaces that run alongside the house on one side. Raised by one story on its half and extending to nearly 200 m², the villa was built in 1983 and then enlarged the following year. In Provençal style, with its understated facades of stone blocks covered with ochre plaster, its asymmetrical straight windows, its two-pitched tiled roof, and its two-row cornice, the house was constructed in a dominant position on the plot. On three sides, the house is extended by a terrace, one of which, to the west, is covered by a trellis set up as a dining area for summer. In the foreground, backed by a dry-stone terrace, a rectangular swimming pool and its large semi-circular beach create a beautiful view of the surrounding hills. The garden, about 1,500 m², well-maintained and lush, is rich in a remarkable diversity of plants dominated by a phoenix palm, while the sea comes into view through the vegetation on the horizon. The villa has a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, an office, five bedrooms, and two shower rooms. It is adjoined by an old garage converted into an independent studio of nearly 20 m², ideal for accommodating family or friends. The whole enjoys a calm and green setting typical of a seaside residence.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House with terrace Gentilly (94)

    On the edge of the capital, in the quiet of Gentilly, a light and spacious house of 455 m² with terrace and garden . The immaculate façade of the house is punctuated here and there by climbing plants and touches of ultramarine blue: from the railings to the gate and the small, discreet earthenware friezes. Entirely surrounded by walls and lush vegetation, the property is completely hidden from prying eyes and without a vis-à-vis. In all, the house has five floors and 455 m² of living space. The secure gate gives access to the garage on one side, and on the other to the plant-rich and slab-paved path that leads directly to the 76.50 m² lawned garden. The tour of the house begins on the garden floor, where a flight of stairs leads to the high glass-clad blue entrance door. This level, completely independent from the rest of the house, is built around a 25 m² studio with parquet floor, kitchen, shower room and guest toilet. The entire space is lit by a large window reminiscent of old school buildings. From there, a few steps lead to the ground floor and a large kitchen of almost 80 m². Fully equipped, it offers plenty of storage space and a dining area for six people. The kitchen adjoins the open-plan, long dining room, which is large enough to seat at least eight guests. With its large windows, dark parquet flooring and flat white and grey paintwork, this room has a resolutely contemporary look. In one corner, a wood and metal quarter turn staircase leads to the upper level, which features a huge 77 m² living room with light parquet flooring and a modern fireplace. It opens onto a conservatory with glass roofs, which provide plenty of light throughout the day and all year round. To one side, a double French window opens onto the 13m² wooden terrace, large enough to accommodate deckchairs for a relaxing moment. At the back of the room, a white wooden staircase leads up to the second floor. This level consists of the master bedroom of 16 m² with a 14 m² sports room and a bathroom. Further on, the office could easily be converted into an extra bedroom or a walk-in wardrobe. The top floor of the house, under the roof, includes two bedrooms of 16 and 17m² respectively with parquet floors and a shower room. They are illuminated by roof windows and skylights. The basement features a spacious garage, a laundry room, a closet and a wine cellar.

    House with pool Angers (49)

    In a small town near Angers, a 19th-century house recently expanded with its gardens and swimming pool. A lane leads to the entrance gate of the property, which opens onto a first garden.

The older part includes a central body elevated over three levels, one of which is under the eaves, flanked by two lateral wings of two levels, one of which is under the eaves. The newer part also extends over three levels, one of which is under the eaves and a basement. The gabled roofs are covered with slate. The roof of the dwelling is pierced with dormer windows with triangular pediments. The frames of the openings, the cornices, and the corner chains are made of tuffeau.

    Property Barbizon (77)

    A striking house, with an estate keeper’s lodge in more than 5,000 m² of grounds, less than 50 km from Paris, in a village full of character. This edifice is situated in the upper part of a village on the banks of the River Seine, between Fontainebleau Forest and Sénart Forest, in the middle of more than 5,400 m² of tree-lined, almost entirely walled grounds. This striking house, locally known as an ‘Affolante’ and emblematic of holiday homes along the River Seine, boasts 375 m² of living space and a unique architectural style, dominated by an octagonal tower previously compared to the one at Gare de Lyon by the village’s inhabitants. It was rebuilt at the turn of the 20th century by a Parisian businessman and art enthusiast. It has retained the elegance of its classic appearance and the Japanese-inspired studio perched in the tower’s belvedere, with surrounding balcony, painted panelling and panoramic view. The house, the majority of which has been restored and regularly maintained, combines authenticity with modern comfort. The light-coloured façades are punctuated with horizontal recesses and large windows. Inside, moulding, cornices, coloured stained glass, marble fireplaces, plus chevron patterned and English bond wood flooring pay witness to the constant care lavished upon preserving the period decorative features. The property also includes an approximately 110-m² estate keeper’s lodge renovated fifteen years ago. Within the grounds, there are also a well and a 19th-century greenhouse.

    House with garden and terrace Narbonne (11)

    A well-preserved, approximately 600-m² elegant manor house with an enclosed garden and outbuildings, in the Minervois sector, in the southwest of the Hérault area. The property can be found in urban environment and is made up of several buildings erected during the third quarter of the 19th century, by a family who made a significant fortune in vinegrowing, like other vineyard owners in the Minervois sector and near Béziers. The property is made up of a manor house, a perpendicular extension, a former superintendent’s lodgings and a hen coop, bordered by the garden to the east. The three-storey manor house is topped by a long-sloped and wide gabled roof made of half-round tiles. The frieze underlining the denticulated cornice on the facade overlooking the street is inspired by ancient rose-shaped bas-reliefs. This ashlar-built, west-facing elevation is perfectly symmetrical, with five vertical rows of openings arranged in an opulent neo-classical architectural style. On the contrary, the facade overlooking the garden is characterised by its stringent sobriety. The entrance door from the street, in the centre of the facade, is topped by a stone balcony. Its guard-rail made of balusters is echoed on the four windows either side of it on the first floor. The windows on the ground floor are fitted with metal louvred shutters, while the ones on the upper floors are fitted with wooden slatted blinds. The 20th-century extension is made up of a rectangular building on the garden side of the house. It includes a basement and a ground-floor topped by a roof terrace. Light streams into it through three windows and a French window, fitted with sash shutters. A circular pond can be found in the reasonably sized garden lying to the east of the manor house. A zinc-roofed aedicula previously housed an outside lavatory. Lastly, the former superintendent's lodgings located at the bottom of the garden is today a two-storey guests’ house, standing next to a wooden gate opening out onto a narrow street to the rear of the property.

    House with pool Etiolles (91)

    An elegant residence with a swimming pool in an ornamental garden, on the right bank of the River Seine, in Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil. This more than 200-m² house was built in the late 19th century and is part of a lush green environment, between the grounds around the mansion and the municipality’s park, a public gardens and the house’s own 1,700-m² landscaped garden, from which the bell tower of the neighbouring church can be seen.

    House with pool and garden Angers (49)

    A set of three houses renovated into a comfortable holiday estate on the banks of the Loire River near the city of Angers. From the lane that runs through the hamlet, two entrance gates lead into the property. The first one leads into a courtyard, from where you can enter the main house and the two secondary dwellings, which outbuildings adjoin. The main house is made of rubble schist with pointing. It has a ground floor and a first floor in the roof space. Its gabled slate roof is punctuated with dormers with triangular pediments. The quoins, cornices, and window and door surrounds are made of tuffeau-stone ashlar. An extension with large, workshop-style glazing on three sides takes up part of the western gable end. This extension is also crowned with a slate roof, which has three slopes. An outdoor flight of slate steps climbs up the western gable end too.

    Manor Bar-le-Duc (55)

    A 17th and 18th century stately manor farm in 10 hectares of meadows, at the border between the former Duchy of Bar and France. The estate stands near to a small country road with very little traffic. It is made up of a large complex built around a square courtyard. At the rear of this, there is a monumental barn, a stable, a dovecote with an aviary and a separate 19th century pavilion. The property boasts fruit trees, a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, a cold room, three small ponds that are home to fish and crayfish, as well as open meadows through which a small trout-rich river meanders. This remarkable site was once governed by a Cistercian abbey. At that time, written records already mentioned the presence of a villa and a double millstone mill erected between two ponds. Traces of the foundations still remain. In the 17th century, hemp was grown here. The abundance of water on site made it possible to transform it on the estate. The vines planted here produced a Pinot varietal wine infamous for its inconsistency and mediocre quality. At the start of the 18th century, it belonged to a local lord and the estate was designated a stately manor farm of the high and medium nobility.

    House with garden Chaumont-en-Vexin (60)

    1 hour from Paris, a picturesque village house with its Art Nouveau style wall paintings. In the centre of the village, just a stone's throw from a monumental 12th century church, stands a house of coursed rubble masonry and brick with a wrought iron gate at the side opening into a small garden. At the back, the outbuildings conceal a passageway that leads to a large, hidden garden. A small annexe completes the property. Originally, this was probably a modest farm transformed into a holiday house at the end of the 19th century. Today, the country house is metamorphosed by its Art Nouveau murals, probably painted around 1900 and 1920, following the publication of an album around 1911. These paintings are mostly surrounded by trompe l'oeil murals which are closer in style to Art Deco.
