    Dans le centre historique de Mulhouse, un hôtel particulier du début du 19e s., à réhabiliter, et son jardin clos arboré. Un temps résidence du docteur Paul Curie, grand-père de l'illustre physicien Pierre Curie, puis d'une famille d'industriels mulhousiens, la propriété est répertoriée dans le circuit des sites d'intérêt du Vieux Mulhouse.

    House with garden Blois (41)

    A grand and imposing 18th-century house with convertible outbuildings, in Blois, in the upper part of the royal city with extensive views. The entrance to the property, at the end of a quiet no-through road, is marked by a low stone wall topped by white openwork wooden fencing. The house possesses two levels, one of which is beneath the rafters, and is flanked by two wings of convertible outbuildings. The rendered facade is punctuated by doors, windows as well as dormers with tuffeau stone surrounds and is topped by a slate roof that was renovated 10 years ago. The interior still boasts period features, particularly terracotta tiles and stone fireplaces. The outbuildings cover a surface of approximately 85 m² and include a press building to the south and a storehouse to the north. Their stone facades are covered with Virginia creeper and their roofs are made of local flat tiles. Doors between the outbuildings and main house can be installed. Two other buildings can be found to the rear, including a garage opposite the gate for easy car access. Beneath the shade of a venerable lime tree, a flowery garden occupies the front part of the garden. A vast orchard is followed by a meadow that slopes gently down to a seasonal stream and a local lane.

    House with garden and terrace Andernos-les-Bains (33)

    A bungalow villa with an 800m² tree-dotted garden, just 400 metres from a beach, nestled by Arcachon Bay on France’s Atlantic Coast. It offers a 110m² floor area. The dwelling was built in 1974 and has been renovated in recent years. Its facade looks west and its terrace faces south, looking towards Arcachon Bay. Its roof terrace is made of concrete planks. Its elevations are adorned with timber cladding, punctuated with windows of different sizes, many of which are large. Inside, there is a vast dual-aspect lounge, which forms a convivial space bathed in natural light from broad glazed sliding doors that look out at the garden. This lounge leads to an open-plan fitted kitchen with work surfaces and a central island unit covered with marble. The lounge also leads outside to a terrace of timber decking – the perfect spot for open-air meals and moments of relaxation, which the climate here makes possible for most of the year. There are four bedrooms. They have built-in wardrobes and their decoration is minimalistic yet colourful. There is also a modern bathroom and a separate lavatory. One of the bedrooms has its own en-suite shower room. Wood strip flooring extends across the rooms. The bedrooms have plant-fibre carpeting upon their wood strip floors. Some walls are painted white, others are painted colourfully and some are timber-clad. The garden has let the coastline’s environment shape it and it has made the most of the mild climate to let its own vegetation thrive here. Indeed, it forms an open-air haven of greenery with sandy ground. Tall oaks tower beside rhododendrons, a Japanese tulip tree stands by large camelias and oleanders flourish on the terrace next to an olive tree and box shrubs. The salty sea air and changing natural light add to the site’s charm. Birdsong accompanies the lapping of the water in Arcachon Bay. In the distance, you can make out the silhouettes of traditional beach huts on stilts – emblems of the bay – with a clear blue sky as their backdrop. At the bottom of the garden, there is a garage that has been converted into a 35m² studio apartment with a lounge, a kitchenette, a shower room and a lavatory. It also houses a large air-conditioned wine cellar.

    Castle Cerilly (03)

    A human-scale 18th-century chateau in around 4 hectares of parkland, in the countryside around the Bourbonnais sector. The estate spreads out over a surface of approximately 4hectares. The chateau, which was erected in 1758, stands out thanks to its classical architecture, which is typical of grand French residences from the second half of the 18th century. It boasts a symmetrical layout including a central section flanked by two wings, providing structure to the south-facing main facade. In the 19th century, a staircase tower was added to one of the wings. The three-storey residence has a ground floor, first floor and a not yet converted loft beneath a slate Mansard roof, which is punctuated by three gable dormers with triangular pediments as well as by several chimney stacks. Thanks to the tall windows on the facade, the interior is generously bathed in light. The ashlar door and window surrounds, the stringcourses as well as the quoins emphasise the structure’s well-organised appearance. The slender tower provides a picturesque touch and pays witness to the enhancements made in the 19th century, which were nonetheless in keeping with the style of the original construction. Tracks and paths wind through the classically inspired parkland, providing structure and carefully crafted perspectives, faithful to the tradition of French rural properties, designed to combine appearance, comfort and harmony with the natural environment.

    Apartment Paris 7ᵗʰ (75)

    Rue de Varenne, adjoining the Hôtel de Matignon, a top-floor artist's studio in a Directoire-style building. The building stands at the corner of Rue Vaneau and Rue de Varenne. Unlike the grand hôtels particuliers around it, this is an apartment building on a more intimate scale, rising four levels beneath the attics. At street level, the facade displays continuous banded rustication in almost-immaculate white dressed stone, with basket-handle arched openings. The first-floor windows are round-arched and partly retain the architectural vocabulary of the Louis XVI style. Saint Andrew's cross guard rails, typical of the Directoire period, protect them. Their geometric lines herald the rigour of the Empire style. Entry is through a 'porte cochère'. Renovation of the communal areas has brought out the building's architectural character, and a glazed lift rises to the fourth level. A double-leaf front door opens onto a vestibule and the main room. A vast studio window, modern in design and double-glazed, floods the room with light and opens a view over the Parisian rooftops, reaching as far as the Tuileries Garden and its Ferris wheel. A remote-controlled interior shutter blacks out the window completely. Measuring over 40 m² with a ceiling height of 5 m, the main room has the generous proportions found almost exclusively in artists' studios. Picture rails, still in place, recall its former use. Beneath a mezzanine, a large open-plan kitchen is fully fitted. An original staircase leads to the bedroom above. The bedroom overlooks the sitting room below and heightens the sense of space. A period wrought-iron railing marks its edge. A large wardrobe occupies an entire wall. A semi-open bathroom covers part of the upper level. The lavatory is separate, lit and ventilated by a roof window. It also houses the gas boiler that provides the heating and hot water.

    Private mansion with garden Autun (71)

    An 18th century private mansion with a courtyard and garden in the upper districts of Autun, 2 hours from Paris. The estate is located in a quiet street lined with private mansions, a stone's throw from Saint-Lazare cathedral. Built according to the rules of classical architecture, the property is laid out around a central courtyard bordered to the south by the main dwelling, with its pure lines directed to catch the southern light. The eastern wing, set at right angles, still bears traces of its original purpose. The former outbuildings reveal three semi-circular vaults, one of which is still visible from the courtyard. The small outbuildings to the south complete the composition, closing off the courtyard area. The property cultivates the art of discretion, concealing a vast, leafy garden to the east, invisible from the street. There are three entrances: the main entrance via a double gate opening onto the courtyard, a foot door opening onto the street - a former service entrance - and a garden entrance adjacent to the three garages which are accessible from a back alley.

    Private mansion with garden Bar-le-Duc (55)

    An 18th-century townhouse and garden, in Bar-le-Duc. Although the person who commissioned this residence is unknown, the architecture of this townhouse leaves little room for doubt: the quality of its layout and ampleness of its volume unquestionably point to it being the former residence of one of society’s leading lights in Bar-le-Duc in the Age of Enlightenment. Set between the street and its garden, it follows a classic layout. The main section that stands alongside Rue Voltaire is prolonged by two wings protruding in L-shapes out into the garden and framing it at the same time. Originally, each of these wings was terminated by a square, protruding pavilion, bestowing absolute symmetry on the edifice. The probable disappearance of one of these pavilions has not greatly altered the general appearance, for the preserved false openings pay witness to a desire to maintain the original architectural balance. To the rear, the garden forms an L-shape around the remaining pavilion to reach the rear of the garage that opens onto the street.

    House Mahón (Spain)

    Facing the Port of Mahón, a building of over 1,300 m² on the waterfront, with potential for residential conversion. The port of Mahón is one of the largest natural harbors in the Mediterranean. The British recognized this in the 18th century, and the French before them. What history has acknowledged, geography explains: a deep, sheltered harbor that ships enter and leave at all hours, right beneath the windows of the Harbor Master’s Office. It is against this backdrop of constant activity that this building, spanning over 1,300 m², stands. A change of use would make it possible to create waterfront residences at one of the island’s most exclusive addresses. In Mahón, opportunities of this kind don’t come along twice.

    A 19th-century manor house and its breath-taking grounds, in Chaumont, within the southern Champagne region. About a ten-minute walk from the downtown area, the property is located on a small quiet street, frequented only by the neighbourhood’s residents. Enclosed by a low wall topped with Art Nouveau-style steel fencing, the property is accessible via an automatic gate. As for the dwelling, set back from the street as if erected in a clearing, it abuts a swath of woodland, providing both privacy and tranquillity as well as sheltering it from view in the back. Featuring an outbuilding to the right with two garages, a variety of plants are scattered throughout the grounds, including a soaring 150-year-old chestnut tree as well as a century-old Lebanese cedar.

    Apartment with terrace Paris 16ᵗʰ (75)

    A three-bedroom flat with a patio, which can be connected to the building's cooling network upon request, on avenue Foch. The edifice, built in 1893, was constructed by the founder of the Compagnie générale des omnibus (CG0), whose horse-drawn vehicles had the monopoly over Parisian transportation under the reign of Napoleon III. With an impressive white ashlar stone façade, which respects the prestigious building codes from the late 19th century, its entrance hall was designed to reflect the building’s overall standing. A concierge service, managed by a professional 'clef d’or' concierge is provided for the building’s residents, while several caretakers also take turns ensuring the premises’ safety. As for the ground-floor flat, accessible via a large interior courtyard shaded by an eye-catching magnolia tree, it was fully renovated in an elegant and harmonious style with a meticulously conceived layout. Featuring custom-made cabinets in shades of chestnut throughout, its front door opens on to a hallway, which leads to the living room, of approximately 40 m², designed with an open kitchen and dining area in its first half and a sitting room, facing a verdant patio of more than 15 m², in its latter section, while the main bedroom, with a shower room and a fitted wardrobe, is also accessible from this central hallway. Further on, two large bedrooms share a bathroom, clad in glass tiles, which provide a spa-like and contemporary feel for this room, whereas its bathtub and double vanity were designed with a minimal aesthetic. Lastly, a separate lavatory also boasts grey glass tiles, while the flat, connected to the city’s heating network, could also be hooked up to the building's cooling network upon request.

    House with garden and terrace Yerres (91)

    A late 18th-century bourgeois townhouse, with a pavilion and garden, 30 minutes from Paris. The property is located behind a large, white, wrought-iron gate. Behind the entrance gate, the residence, which was built in the late 18th century and early 19th century, rises up from the middle of a landscaped and fully stone walled garden that is not overlooked. It boasts a typical Directory era style with a triangular pediment and rectangular layout. The façade that overlooks the garden boasts a flight of stone steps leading to a stoop. Both are adorned with a wrought-iron banister and guard-rail topped by an awning all the way along the stoop. At the edge of the house, there is a pavilion which has recently been converted into an estate keeper’s house. Lastly, in front of the edifice, in the ornamental garden, there is a pond and a former dovecote.

    Castle Dijon (21)

    A 19th-century chateau with guest rooms, a swimming pool and grounds, by the Saône River, 35 min from Dijon in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. A tall wall conceals the entire property from view, except for the tops of a few trees visible from the road. Accessible via an automatic entrance gate that opens onto a parking area, a landscaped drive – bordered on one side by the annexe with its three garages and, on the other, a verdant arbour with views of the Saône River – leads to the entrance of the L-shaped chateau, located in the middle of the property and adorned with a tower topped with glazed tiles and an exterior brick walkway. Separated from the property’s outbuilding by a gravel courtyard, the main dwelling includes ten guest accommodations, while the swimming pool and the entrance to the property’s vaulted cellars are located in front of the main façade, facing south. As for its landscaped terraced grounds, they slope down behind the chateau all the way to the Saône River, where a path provides gentle access to the landing stage and an immense space along the water’s edge.

    Mill Dijon (21)

    A restored 18th-century mill, outbuildings and grounds covering more than 5 hectares, near Flavigny, in the Ozerain Valley, in the Côte-d'Or. Accessible from the village or the county road via two country lanes, the property slopes down towards the Ozerain, whose course dictated the mill’s orientation. The main channel and the lower channel, which are now dry and fed solely by rainwater runoff, display the site’s hydraulic layout. The complex is arranged around a courtyard, flanked on either side by the bread oven and the north-western end of the house, with a wooden gate in the middle. The barn, set at right angles to the stables and the sheepfold, encloses the courtyard below. Extending from the main dwelling, the open, double-vaulted barn connects the house to the dovecote. Beyond the courtyard, the land slopes down towards a strip of meadows and heathland, which stretches along the Ozerain for over 5 hectares. The main building has a total floor area of approximately 260 m², divided into two separate flats. A thorough restoration was carried out using traditional materials and techniques, whilst preserving the authenticity of the building’s layout and original features: reconstructed roof structures and masonry, natural hemp insulation, underfloor heating and double-glazed windows.

    House with garden Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)

    In the old town of Ciutadella, a house with a garden and panoramic views of the historic centre, to be renovated to suit your tastes. Some houses are blank pages. This one is one such house, but with a view that no one has written for it. From the 57 m² garden, the old town of Ciutadella unfolds like a backdrop crafted unhurriedly over four centuries of Menorcan architecture. The rooftops, the bell towers, the façades of the palaces: all this belongs to the gaze of whoever will live here. The walls await. The view, however, has been there for a long time and needs no one to exist. This is precisely what makes this property so rare: you are not just buying a house, you are buying a perspective on the town that no one else possesses.

    House with pool and garden Saumur (49)

    A remarkable 4.5-hectare estate looking down over the River Loire valley beside the town of Saumur. At the top of a slope, a private driveway joins a small country lane. This driveway leads to the home. An entrance gate takes you onto a drive lined with poplars. This drive takes you to the house, which was built in 1968 by the owners of one of the oldest wine businesses in Saumur. It has a central section made of tuffeau stone. This section has a ground floor and a first floor and is crowned with a hipped slate roof. The central section is extended, on its north and south-east sides, with two low wings in perfect symmetry.

The rendered elevations are punctuated with even windows, which are small-paned on the south side and fitted with louvred shutters on the north side. Lastly, on the east side, a fully glazed wall looks out at a sweeping vista, whose horizon is made up of islands, sandbanks and villages along the River Loire. The outbuildings are grouped together in the south-east corner of the plot. There are horse looseboxes, workshops, garages and storerooms. On the north side, a vast terrace extends around a swimming pool and summer kitchen. Lower down, there is an artificial grass tennis court that was recently restored.

    House with garden and terrace Savenay (44)

    In the town center, a master house from the late 19th century. The property is surrounded, along the street, by a stone wall topped with a wrought iron gate. A large two-leaf wrought iron gateway opens central access for vehicles; a pedestrian door, set back on the side, provides a second access. Beyond that, a gravel courtyard precedes the house; at the back, a garden stretches out. A first outer section adjoins the house, fully enclosed by walls. This wooded area extends on the side with a long plot leading to the garage and further, to a field behind horse boxes. The entire property covers an area of over 6000 m². Built at the end of the 19th century in an eclectic style, the house rises three levels over a basement. A stone rubble plinth runs all along its perimeter. On the street side, the facade, coated in a light ochre tone, is enhanced with corner chains, window frames, and a denticulated cornice made of cut stone. On the garden side, in contrast, the stone remains visible, in dressed rubble, and the openings are closed with external shutters. A projecting volume marks the corner of the building and carries a balcony with balusters on the first floor. It is topped with a hipped roof pierced by a dormer with a pediment, crowned with two zinc roof finials depicting a fantastic creature — a coiled body and reptilian head — inspired by neo-Gothic motifs. The ground floor openings are protected by opening metal grilles. The house has seven bedrooms with a living area of approximately 280 m².This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House with garden and terrace Lamothe (43)

    A 17th-century village house with an old inn and courtyard, near the town of Brioude in France’s beautiful Haute-Loire department. The property is a former inn whose business activity dated back to the 17th century. An inscription in the courtyard still reads: 'Cadet innkeeper’s room, lodgings for travellers on foot and horseback'. It lies on the edge of the mound of an 11th-century castle that has now disappeared, or more precisely on the vallum – the defensive enclosure. From the street, the facade comes into view like an imposing rampart, through which a carriage gate leads into the lush inner courtyard. On the right, a small flight of steps leads up to the main dwelling, beside which there is a terrace in the shade of a kiwi tree. The house has two levels: a ground floor with reception rooms and a first floor with a convertible loft space, above which there is a dovecote. On the left, there is an inn, which is still in its original architectural form. You step into it through an arched door of dressed stone. Upstairs, there is a hayloft, which you can reach via an outdoor flight of steps. At the end of the court, there is an open-sided agricultural storehouse beneath a mezzanine, which you can reach from the terrace via a passageway. A row of three cellars, one of which is arched in a winemaking style typical of the Auvergne region, completes the property.

    Manor Tours (37)

    At the gates of Tours, a property with a pool and tennis court. From the street, an imposing wooden gate conceals the courtyard and the park, separated by a wrought iron grille lined with white hydrangeas. The manor, built in 1848 and perfectly restored, faces a dependency, divided into a rental unit with independent access at the back, a garage, and a caretaker's apartment. On the ground floor, three spacious reception rooms with high ornamental ceilings have retained their 19th-century attributes and are brightly lit by large windows. The rest of the level includes two offices, a kitchen with a pantry, and a laundry room. Nine bedrooms, six of which have en-suite bathrooms, and a cinema room are spread across the upper floors. A cellar, accessible from a sunny courtyard at the front of the manor, occupies the basement. Attached to it, an old barn has been converted into a living house, with independent access and garden. The whole is set in a park of nearly 3 hectares with an unobstructed view, planted with centenary trees, including a tennis court, pool, summer kitchen, lean-to, and greenhouse.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    Listed castle Septeme (38)

    At the gates of Dauphiné, an emblematic castle listed as a historical monument. The estate is established within a vast fortified enclosure of about one kilometer, whose walls remind us of its original defensive purpose. The castle, a major stronghold of medieval Dauphiné, built from the 13th century and then remodeled until the Renaissance, is constructed in a U-shaped plan around a large inner courtyard. The main building, made of limestone and rubble, is raised to three levels above the ground floor. The facades are largely pierced with mullioned windows and are animated, on the courtyard side, by arcaded galleries and Renaissance loggias, which testify to the gradual transformation of the fortress into a lordly residence. The whole is flanked by a round tower from the 14th century, a square tower, and a preserved keep, while several vestiges of curtain walls remain. The steep roofs, covered with flat tiles creating a polychrome diamond pattern or of pepperbox style, are punctuated by dormer windows and tall chimney stacks. To the east, a path leads to the entrance porch. To the south, the French gardens open onto a wooded park. A caretaker's lodge and former stables are located near the main residence and complete the historical organization of the site.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    House Alaior (Spain)

    In Menorca, a 74-hectare rural estate comprising multiple dwellings, combining agricultural use with tourism potential. 74 hectares in Menorca is not just a property. It is a way of life. The path leading to it is shared by just a few neighbours. Mount Toro comes into view before the house. Then the house itself: two dwellings within a single building, six bedrooms, exposed beams, alcoves, and wide porches opening out onto the fields. An old oven. An external staircase leading up to the high ceilings of the first floor, with a view of nothing but the countryside. Set apart, an old stable stands alongside a woodland. The farm buildings stand there, unapologetic. Their scale and natural independence offer a glimpse of what this land could harbour beyond family life. Menorca is designated a biosphere reserve. This land forms part of it.
