House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In Menorca, in the Sant Miquel neighbourhood of Ciutadella, a townhouse built of marès stone with a patio measuring approximately 21 m². On 7 October 1558, in Constantinople, a notary from Ciutadella who had been taken captive, Pere Quintana, recorded in Catalan an account of the siege and a list of the prisoners. His town had just been sacked. It slowly recovered behind its ramparts and grew accustomed to looking inwards, until the walls fell in the 19th century. A house in the Sant Miquel neighbourhood has preserved this way of life. Its façade faces the street, but its heart beats around a courtyard. The marès stone walls, cement tiles and ancient floor tiles have endured through the generations. At the centre, a staircase connects the floors like a backbone. A city that had looked inwards for so long could not have been built any other way.

House with pool Ferreries (Spain)
In Menorca, a rural estate built of marès stone, with its stables, old cheese dairy and woodland covering some 36.7 hectares. A square of cotton, with its four corners tied, and a piece of string that the Menorcans call ‘lligam’: this is how the island’s artisanal cheese is still made by hand, on the very farms where the cows are milked. It owes its square shape with rounded corners to this cloth, and its name, ‘Mahón’, to the port from which it was exported. Set amidst some 36.7 ha of woodland and former farmland, one farm has preserved the room where this craft was once practised. The old cheese-making room now forms part of the kitchen, beneath the beams, near a wood-burning stove. All around, the marès stone walls enclose a feeding area, three cowsheds, a henhouse and traditional porches. Nothing of the Menorcan farm has been moved from its place. The fabric has long since unravelled; the farm has retained its form.

House Mahón (Spain)
In Menorca, in the old town of Mahón, like a small theatre, a townhouse that has been completely redesigned. In 1829, Mahón opened an opera house in a former bastion of its city walls. The Teatre Principal predated Barcelona’s Liceu by eighteen years and Madrid’s Teatro Real by twenty-one years. Spain’s oldest opera house is thus situated on an island in the Mediterranean. A townhouse in Mahón now offers an intimate take on this heritage. Each room has its own character and colour scheme, with patterns and textures playing off one another, whilst furniture from several continents takes centre stage. The fireplaces undulate like frozen waves. By day, the island’s natural light does the rest. In the evening, carefully calibrated lighting transforms the scene.

Apartment with terrace Nimes (30)
In Nîmes, in the district of the Maison Carrée, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, there is a 225 m² apartment on the noble floor of a 19th-century building. The building, three levels high with basements, belongs to an urban property from the 19th century that enjoys a remarkable location, bordering the Rue de l'Horloge and connecting the square of the same name to the east with the Maison Carrée to the west. The facade, set in a cobbled street of the historic center, is coated in light yellow and features architectural elements from the 19th century typical of the Restoration. The elevation is organized in a classical sobriety, crowned by a cornice with modillions and rosettes, which overlooks another cornice, simply molded, a level lower, and a very simple floor band at the even lower level. It is punctuated on the first floor by four tall, slender bays with windows of bluish metal frames, large panes, and double glazing, glass transoms of the same materials, stone framing, and pilasters. The windows on the service floor are smaller, and their framing is quite modest. Finally, the roof, as is customary in the region, is made of canal tiles. On the ground floor, the street-facing facade, oriented to the north, is centered on an imposing entrance door flanked by two bays that house a renowned florist and a hairdresser. The two leaves of the door, made of solid oak aged by time, are marked with molded panels and equipped with bronze knockers. They fit into a semicircular arch framed by a limestone stonework, a signature of an architecture that is both simple and elegant. Above the door, a glazed transom protected by a wrought iron grille displays its radiant sun motif; a beautifully crafted artisan work and an ornament that reflects a time when access to the residence had to be both secure and ceremonial. The path to the noble floor, where the apartment is located, is made by a wide staircase with stone steps. Its wrought iron railing features balusters with remarkable neo-Gothic motifs in pointed arches, a typical design from the 19th century, and a handrail in patinated oak.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool Venasque (84)
A 13th-century watchtower, with panoramic views, a sheepfold, plunge pool and 7-hectare grounds, in the town of Venasque, 40 minutes from Avignon. A dirt lane, which winds its way between the tall brooms, traverses the property’s fan-shaped grounds, facing northwest, before ending at the top of this hillside, at 435 metres in altitude, where the medieval Tour du Pinet stands. Built directly on top of the rocky promontory, the regular-coursed, square stone tower stands out thanks to its authentic and massive architecture, which was wholly devoted to defending the village. Gutted and left roofless for decades, it was lovingly saved from complete collapse by its previous owner, a professional architect, who restored it from 1974 to 1988 according to standard practices, which not only focused on its aesthetics and formal purity, but made it fully inhabitable and comfortable once again. As for its thick, solid walls, they enclose four storeys, the last one of which opens on to the premises’ true sentinel: a 550-year-old prickly juniper that provides a welcome and verdant touch to the tower’s rooftop terrace. From this flat roof, the views fully embrace the Provencal panorama from the Dentelles de Montmirail to Mount Serein, while, on clear days, one can see all the way to the Pic Saint-Loup. Originally, life inside this tower was one of isolation and it would take two millenniums before the tower would replace its warlike vocabulary for that of peace, while the tower itself is an undeniable ode to inwardness, which here is devoid of any secrecy thanks to the fluid circulation between each of its floors. Featuring few windows and relying mostly on narrow arrowslits to provide natural light, the tower's massive fireplaces not only offer reassuring blazes during cooler weather, but extend the heat of the summer months to the very heart of the tower. In addition, the tower’s surrounding patios are scattered with a variety of local trees such as green oaks, which shape and shade these spaces for relaxation, ideal for mid-morning naps near the plunge pool or al-fresco meals, while only a stone’s throw away, a sheepfold, located below and built up against the rock, contains an additional bedroom with a shower room as well as a small workshop.

House Ferreries (Spain)
In Menorca, on the edge of the Barranc d’Algendar, a rural property in need of renovation, set amongst farmland, woodland and a protected natural area. Since the Middle Ages, the Camí Reial has linked Ferreries to Ciutadella via the Barranc d’Algendar. It was the main route between the two towns. Volunteers have patiently cleared several kilometres of it, and the ravine can once again be explored on foot, amongst cliffs and woodland, following in the footsteps of travellers of old. Above the gorge, a country house overlooks this path. The house has retained the layout of those who built it, and its walls have already undergone extensive reinforcement. Its grounds reveal the three facets of the ravine: fields still under cultivation, woodland with native species, and plots returned to the protected natural area. Travellers on the Camí Reial were merely passing through. Those who come here will finally be able to stop and stay a while.

House with terrace Sainte-Adresse (76)
An Anglo-Norman style villa with a lush garden, a short distance from Le Havre, in the heights of Sainte-Adresse. On the street, near to a garage, a large gate opens onto a cobbled drive from where a Y-shaped flight of steps climbs towards the house. On each side, dense shrubs and flowerbeds line the lawns that surround the villa. The largest part of the garden dotted with tall trees is situated around the entrance gate. To the rear of the house, a second, vehicle-compatible gate opens onto a cul-de-sac. The brick-built edifice possesses three storeys, above a basement level. Its facade is typical of the Anglo-Norman style, with a wide variety of shapes, décors and materials. The elevations are punctuated by many openings including a bay window, while on the slate several-sloped roof some of the trusses overhang balconies.

Manor Montsoreau (49)
15 minutes from Saumur, in a village on the banks of the Loire, A 15th-century manor house with guest house, winter garden and hanging gardens. From a narrow lane east of the village centre, a wrought-iron gate flanked by two pilasters opens onto a paved courtyard.

The wood strip flooring, stained-glass windows and art deco inspiration form a coherent whole where references to the 1920s and 1930s combine harmoniously with modern touches.

You can place tables and chairs on paved areas here among the luxuriant vegetation. This oasis of greenery adds to the calm atmosphere of the home. Indeed, you can step straight out into it from the apartment. Furthermore, the property is already specially adapted for people with reduced mobility. A caretaker watches over the edifice. The property includes two cellars too. And you can park in the cul-de-sac easily.

Manor Saumur (49)
A 15th and 18th-century former priory, in grounds of more than 6 hectares, in the former Anjou province, on the outskirts of a village. A tree-lined lane from the road leads up to the property and arrives at a gravelled courtyard, with a barn on one side and a farm shed on the other. Opposite, the residence is preceded by a raised patio and surrounded by a former moat. The original priory was erected on the remains of a former castle and dates from the 15th century. It was considerably altered and enlarged in the 18th century, as demonstrated by the layout of the front facades with arched window and door openings. Today, it is made up of two sections that join at a right angle, the largest of which is oriented south to north and the smaller east to west. The two three-storey edifices, each with their upper level in the attic space, are built with rubble stone coated with lime rendering. They are topped with steep, half-hipped, slate roofs punctuated with dormer windows in the centre. The window surrounds, dormers, cornices and quoins are made of tuffeau stone. The inscription 'D.O.M. 1732', marked above the entrance door, pays witness to the religious origins of the property.

Contemporary apartment Paris 10ᵗʰ (75)
A 146-m² apartment with three bedrooms, in the 10th arrondissement, in the heart of the Magenta district. The Faubourian style building was erected in 1880 above the underground aqueduct. It stands out thanks to the simplicity of the modest ashlar elevations with marked bossing, on its imposing facade, which is highlighted by another distinctive feature, namely, the regular alignment of its windows, through which light pours into the interior. The six-storey building can be reached through a moulded, double-leaf door with brass handles, topped by a segmental arched window, underlined by an ashlar surround with a protruding keystone console at the top. The communal spaces behind it are exceedingly elegant. A wide staircase with shallow steps means the apartment on the third floor can be reached without exertion. Once through the door, visitors are plunged into a luxurious atmosphere in the more than 13-m² entrance hall. Its many doors provide plenty of perspectives and allow light to stream in. A vast, approximately 20-m² reception room stands opposite the entrance door. It exudes an almost theatrical ambiance in which ornamental details such as moulding and cornices are highlighted. Enabling ergonomic living, a more than 14-m² kitchen is adjacent to the dining room. To the right of the entrance hall, a more than 26-m² Haussmannian style lounge overlooking the street through two tall windows is currently used as a music and reading room. It is bathed in light, which, combined with its light-coloured and warm hues, gives it a soothing and pleasant ambiance. A slightly more than 6-m² hallway leads to the apartment’s sleeping area, which is made up of three bedrooms with surfaces of 13 m², 15 m² and 21 m² respectively. An almost 5-m² shower room and separate lavatory complete the apartment, which still boasts period architectural features, such as chevron-patterned oakwood strip flooring, marble fireplaces or moulding. They have been combined with more modern furnishings and fittings, bestowing a unique hallmark on the apartment. The property also includes a cellar.

House with pool and garden Moissac (82)
A 19th-century bourgeois house with a separate cottage, surrounded by 2 hectares of grounds, 30 minutes outside of Montauban. Framed by two white square columns, a large double gate, with elegant scrolls surrounding the gilded initials of the original owner’s wife, marks the entrance to the property. Built on the side of a hill that overlooks the neighbouring orchards, the three-storey pleasure palace is located in the middle of verdant grounds with centenary trees. Sheltered from view, only its ancient watchtower and roof are visible above the canopy. A tarmac driveway weaves its way through the wooded hillside before reaching the main villa, which includes three storeys over a basement level and is topped with a gabled slate roof, itself crowned with two dormer windows and three pink brick chimneys. To the northwest, the watchtower's spire culminates at approximately 25 metres, while to the south, it overlooks a 10 x 4-metre swimming pool, from which a double flight of front steps ascend to a large patio that surrounds the villa on three sides. A white stone balustrade with an oval motif, innovative for the time period, safeguards the patio and the two flights of symmetrical stairs that straddle two interior greenhouses. The main façade, in stone and brick, covered in roughcast dusky pink-coloured plaster, is topped with an open pediment bordered by a lacy white wooden cornice board. Each of the villa’s two upper floors includes a wooden balcony at the centre of the building’s main façade, protected by guardrails decorated with a scroll motif. Lastly, the driveway, which descends towards the south-western part of the grounds, leads to an annexe with two garages and a barn, also accessible via an independent gate.

House Kerien (22)
In Brittany, a domain of nearly 50 hectares away from the world. The estate extends over nearly 50 hectares in one piece, composed of meadows, heathlands, and woods, and has about 700 meters of private banks along the category 1 pond, a vast body of water of about 15 hectares with an average depth of 2 to 3 meters. An ancient rural hamlet whose origins date back at least to the 17th century, the site remained unused for several decades. The estate hosts a behavioral riding school, based on observation, understanding, and cooperation with the horse.

The property is accessed by a dead-end road, at the end of which the old farmhouse and its stone buildings occupy the northeastern part of the domain. Three barns are nearby, while a wooden house and a light dwelling are set back. Further west, the equestrian facilities are located a little lower near the pond, amidst the meadows and close to the woods.This description has been automatically translated from French.
