House with garden Dole (39)
Between Dijon and Besançon, within a 1 hectare park, a maison de maître, guest house and outbuildings with an industrial past. The wrought-iron entrance gate heralds a bourgeois house, probably built in the mid-19th century. A paved drive leads to garages at the rear of the property. To the front, the maison de maître stands before a group of outbuildings arranged around an intimate square courtyard, centred on a tall horse chestnut. Adjoining the house, a long building contains wooden grain silos, reminders of the trade once plied here: the occupants were millers. On the opposite side of the courtyard, a second dwelling — the guest house — shares a party wall with a barn raised above large cellars, which attest to the farming history of the estate. At the far end of the courtyard stands a small outbuilding that formerly housed the facilities. Beyond lies a large garage dating from the 1930s. The park, extending to over 1 ha, is laid out in the English landscape style, with 90 ares given over to an orchard.

House with pool and garden Le Vignon-en-Quercy (46)
A converted presbytery with a curate’s garden, rear courtyard, and swimming pool, in a peaceful, small village near the upper Quercy and Corèze areas. This former presbytery is tucked away from view, enjoying privacy behind a stone wall, between the Romanesque church and castle, in the old part of the hamlet, inherited from medieval settlements linked to the Viscounty of Turenne. From the narrow street, a double-leaf, wrought-iron gate opens into a closed, cobbled courtyard with parking space for one vehicle. In the corner of this courtyard, next to the barn, a pond discretely adorns the space. The main entrance, the door to the cellar and the French windows opening into the living room, whose wide lintel sculpted with an accolade pays witness to the place’s history, can be reached from the courtyard. The current residence is thought to date from the late 19th century. It boasts three storeys, including a converted loft, and stands above a vaulted cellar. Its light-yellow stone elevations, partially covered by Virginia creeper, have retained the sobriety of ecclesiastic houses of yesteryear. A perpendicularly situated barn prolongs the property’s edifices and adds structure to the surroundings of the courtyard. Light filters into the staircase via a window, which is embellished with a stained glass-style painted motif fixed to a pewter frame. The main section has a hipped roof while the barn has a gabled roof, creating a balanced silhouette in the surrounding landscape. To the south, the house opens onto a densely tree-filled garden, providing coolness and privacy on sunny days. A patio and a pergola provide outdoor living spaces, while, further away, the swimming pool and its wooden decking discretely take their place among the vegetation, enhancing the private nature of the property.

Apartment with terrace Paris 6ᵗʰ (75)
Notre-Dame-des-Champs, a reception apartment. Located at the corner of Boulevard Raspail and Rue Stanislas, the building rises with the characteristic majesty of great Parisian achievements from the turn of the 20th century. Built of dressed stone, it boasts a harmonious post-Haussmannian facade, reflecting an era when geometric rigor softened to make way for more organic and fluid sculpted details. On the first floor, where the apartment is located, the windows are highlighted with sculpted consoles. Past the wooden double door topped with a draped muse head, the communal areas extend the impression of harmony. The entrance hall reveals ample volumes, and the floor is covered with a marble checkerboard. An elevator, installed within the housing of the stairwell, serves the upper floors. The entrance to the apartment is spacious. It opens directly onto a double living room of over 50 m². On the floor, there is Hungarian point oak parquet. Two gray marble fireplaces, each topped with a trumeau, face each other. The original moldings are still present on the ceiling. The kitchen is through and through; on one side, it is adjacent to the main room, and it is also accessible from the entrance. The two bedrooms are located on the courtyard side. They share a spacious bathroom, and the toilets are separate. Heating is provided by a recent condensing boiler. A cellar is attached to the apartment.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Entrecasteaux (83)
A Provence villa with two gîtes, a swimming pool and a tennis court set in 2.7 hectares of grounds in the heart of nature and in absolute peace and quiet, near Entrecasteaux. From the village of Entrecasteaux, a main road quickly leads off onto a narrow tarmac lane, lined with stones in places and set against the side of a hill. It winds through a forest of holm oaks and, after around 2 km, ends at the main entrance to the estate, which is marked by an imposing wrought-iron gate. From here, it curves round to the top of the property, which is on a plateau. Five or six vehicles can easily park to the north of the buildings, from where you can see the main features of the property: the main house, the gîtes, the tennis court and the summer dining room. The building, which is situated in a natural zone, is predominantly a single-storey villa, with a slightly raised section with an apartment which is extended by a veranda. It is well integrated into its surroundings, with windows that face south, west or north that are either small or protected by a gallery to the south, to shield against too much sun. There is also a pergola to the west. Although it was built in the 1980s, it is hard to put an age on the house as it feels like it has always been part of the Provence landscape, with its ochre walls, overhanging cornices, painted wooden shutters and covered terrace topped by solid local stone columns. The many offsets in the facade and roof avoid architectural monotony, alternating shelters and patios, creating many places to sit in the sun or the shade, depending on your wishes, the time of the day or the season. The west and south-facing terraces have lovely views of the surrounding hills and are not overlooked from outside. The stone gîtes are built around 50 metres from the main house. The tennis court is set back to the north of the property, and the swimming pool is set below the south-facing facade of the main house.

House with garden and terrace Brioude (43)
A priory, listed as a European Cluniac Site, a 12th-century tower & garden, in the north of the Brivadois region & the greater Haute-Loire department. Established around 994 thanks to a donation from Lady Aldegarde to the Cluniac monastery of Sauxillanges, the Bournoncle-Saint-Pierre priory was once part of a dynamic that was both spiritually and economically motivated. As of the 12th century, the establishment, inhabited by six to eight monks, became more than a site for prayer and was transformed into a major agricultural and religious hub, while in 1132, its influence extended over eighteen farms and thirteen dependencies. At that time, the priory embodied the strength of the Cluny Order, which, at its heyday in the 11th and 12th centuries, oversaw 1,098 monasteries throughout Europe, including 855 in France, a network without parallel in the medieval Christian world. Even today, the site, one of the most eloquent vestiges of the Cluny Order’s history, is a testament to this former strength thanks to its architectural heritage, whereas, in the 12th and the 13th centuries, the monastic buildings, abutting the church, formed a logical and functional composition. Originally surrounded by a fortified enclosure wall, defended by four corner towers, symbols of the priory’s dual vocation: protecting property as well as souls, monastic life took place behind these thick walls with a guest room for visitors and pilgrims, the prior’s chamber – the centre of local power – monastic cells, a kitchen, a pantry and an infirmary. In addition, a tithe barn made it possible to store the grain harvests, while passageways and openings between the church and the priory facilitated access for the monks between their temporal occupations and spiritual duties. As for the site, it has adapted to the changing times with, in particular, the creation of the immense gate opening on to the courtyard, which was added in 1777, whereas, presently, the priory, recognised as a 'European Cluniac Site', is part of the Council of Europe’s cultural itineraries as well as the collective bid by Cluniac sites to be included on the Unesco World Heritage List.

This is one of them. And behind two separate doors lie nearly 1,100 m² of marès stone, vaults and beams dating back to 1614. Three inner courtyards frame the daylight into three distinct scenes. The grand staircase winds its way unhurriedly upwards to drawing rooms with ceilings so high that one cannot help but look up. Eight bedrooms, several terraces, a cellar. The ancient floors have retained the memory of everything that has passed over them. Just a few steps away lies the cathedral. Further down, the harbour. Between the two, this address

House Ferreries (Spain)
In the Menorca countryside, a historic finca and its private chapel, set on 135 hectares of farmland with nearly 3,000 m² of buildings. A private chapel. Perhaps this is where it all begins – in the idea that a family once felt it necessary to build a place of worship in the midst of their land, as if 135 hectares of Menorca were not enough to feel close to something greater. The farm buildings — covering nearly 3,000 m² — have seen other uses, other seasons, other hands. The hills, however, have remained unchanged. What one buys here cannot really be measured. Neither in hectares nor in square metres. Rather, it is measured in terms of distance from the rest of the world, and that distance is considerable.

The words are simple because the place is simple too, and that is precisely where lies what few properties still offer. There is no pre-determined plan here. No preconceived vision, no obvious purpose. Just honest stone, earth and silence. Take it or leave it. And that is rare.

A townhouse with a garden and outbuildings, In the Seine-Maritime area, in the town-centre of Eu, 4 kilometres from Tréport. This three-storey house, whose levels are separated by stringcourses, is situated on a discrete cobbled street. The brick facade boasts five vertical rows of openings, which are arched or rectangular. The walls are covered in light-coloured rendering and a narrow awning made of flat tiles protects all of the openings on the ground floor.

On the other, it is flanked by a single-storey brick extension in which the entrance door as well as other openings can be found. Next to it, in a wall made of alternating courses of brick and rough-hewn flint, topped by balusters, there is an entrance to a garage.

Since the 19th century, the Oleo family has made its home on one of Ciutadella’s most iconic streets. Every year during the 'caracol de ses Voltes', the horses taking part in the Sant Joan festivities stop right on its doorstep. The palace is both a spectator and a participant. The high ceilings, original floors, central staircase, twelve rooms spread over three floors and the inner courtyard all bear the mark of everything that has taken place within them. The roof terrace, meanwhile, looks out over Mallorca on a clear day. Nearly 500 m² to renovate. A history that is not built, but inherited.

House with pool Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the Menorcan countryside, on the outskirts of Ciutadella, an old farmhouse with stone arches and a separate upper floor in need of renovation. Menorcan stone has a tactile memory. Laid by hand, without mortar, it retains the imprint of those who lifted it before turning it into stables, an oven and arches carved into the thick walls of a rural house on the outskirts of Ciutadella. One must enter here slowly. Allow the alcoves to reveal themselves, let the stove in the living room take its place, understand why the ceilings were vaulted rather than flat. Every choice had a reason that time has not erased. On the upper floor, a raw space awaits, like a sentence begun by others and left unfinished.

House with garden Bourg-en-Bresse (01)
In the Dombes, 60 km from Lyon, in a village, An 18th-century house partly listed as a Monument Historique, its outbuildings and 1 ha of grounds. The property occupies a site of nearly 8,850 m². At the front, it is approached from the church square, in the manner of the great canonical houses that sought to assert their presence and standing within the village. At the rear, a vast gravelled courtyard, laid out around a central bed of lawn and flowers, lies before the park-side facade and provides parking. Beyond stretches the park of around 1 ha. Nearest the house, a gravelled walk runs past a geometric parterre with a central ornamental pool; further on, a stand of mature trees of varied species, some particularly fine, closes the vista. The park is enclosed. To the right, the annexe, its walls covered in Virginia creeper, stands amid clipped box. The main building dates from the 18th century and rises three levels over a full basement, following an elongated rectangular plan. A light-ochre render coats its walls, and dressed limestone frames the windows and doors. On the park side, the facade presents seven regular bays. Wide double-leaved openings, some round-arched and fitted with white-painted shutters, pierce the ground level. A few stone steps lead up to the entrance, above which a wrought-iron balconet marks the central axis. On the first level, small-paned windows, also shuttered, align with the openings below. Dark flat tiles cover the steeply pitched gabled roof, and a regular row of pedimented, small-paned dormers punctuates the roofline. Several stone chimney stacks rise above the roof. At one end of the building, a tower capped with a slate pepperpot roof gives the silhouette its distinctive character. Two facades, a ground-level drawing room and the wooden staircase are listed as Monuments Historiques.

House with terrace Mahón (Spain)
In Mahón, on one of the most iconic squares in Menorca’s historic centre, an 18th-century building covering more than 1,000 m² is waiting to be given a new lease of life. The square itself has not changed. It is the building that has aged, slowly, with that dignity peculiar to buildings that know they will outlive their occupants. Since the 18th century, over 1,000 m² of Menorcan stone have stood their ground opposite Mahón’s historic centre. The inner courtyards have retained their cool shade. The terraces have retained their view over the rooftops. The façade has retained its silence. What time has not taken, no one has touched either. Everything will need to be renovated. The upper floors await, as do the architectural details — intact, almost indecently beautiful for a building that nobody really lives in any more. Down below, shops pay their rent and serve as a reminder that life goes on despite everything. What this building needs is someone worthy of it.

House with pool and garden Chalons-en-champagne (51)
A 17th century chateau classed as a historic monument with a moat and 17 hectares of grounds, two hours from Paris, in Champagne. The first mention of a lord of Vitry-la-Ville dates back to the 13th century. The current building, probably built on the site of a fortified manor house, dates back to the 17th century. From the small country road that runs through the village, an avenue of lime trees leads to a rectangular area surrounded by a moat where the chateau stands. The drawbridge has been replaced by a stone bridge and a remarkable entrance gate is framed by two dovecotes. A formal French-style garden, created in the 17th century and one of the finest in the region until the 1960s, is currently being redeveloped, including a parking area for 350 vehicles next to a vast meadow. Two successive terraces provide access to the flowerbeds bordered by hornbeam hedges, the two water mirrors reflecting the building, the pond and the cross canal fed by the Guenelle river running alongside the wood.

Property with pool and garden Agen (47)
In Lot-et-Garonne, at the gates of Agen, a renovated hunting lodge from the 18th century, its outbuildings and swimming pool, on 1.8 hectares of land. Access to the property is via a wide residential avenue, extended by a discreet country path shaded by tall trees. The first outbuildings are distinguished on one side of the driveway, at the end of which the lodge reveals itself on a gravel terrace. A cedar tree over a century old stands in the center of a grassy esplanade. On the other side of the dwelling, a second set of outbuildings includes a guest house and a garage. Between these two buildings, a gate provides separation from the pool area, protected from view by a hedge. The former hunting lodge from the 18th century, remodeled in the 19th century, and its outbuildings are set in a landscaped park, dotted with centuries-old trees. Beyond, vast meadows, where deer peacefully graze, open to an unlimited perspective. Only the murmur of a waterfall hints that the Garonne flows below and borders the property.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mill Forcalquier (04)
An entirely renovated 17th-century mill, with its swimming pool and outbuildings on 7,500-m² grounds, to the north of the Luberon Mountains. Thanks to its environment and impeccable preservation, the property enjoys a verdant setting where a river still supplies water to the mill. From a secondary B road, a lane winds its way through a forest of live oaks, before reaching the mill, built in a clearing at the top of a small hill and accessible via a carriage entrance at the end of a gravel drive. Shielded by a curtain of vegetation, a peaceful river borders one side of the property’s fertile grounds, while, a little further on, a wooden pedestrian gate, located at the top of a flight of stone steps and framed by two cypresses, opens on to the swimming pool area, concealed from view by a pointed stone building on one side and a hedge on the other. In addition, behind the carriage entrance, three buildings, one of which is placed at a right angle, are grouped around a central cobblestone courtyard, which is closed off on one side by a low stone wall overlooking the grounds. Topped with barrel tile roofs, the one crowning the main dwelling is highlighted by a double genoise cornice.

House with pool and garden Vétheuil (95)
A 19th-century Bourgeois home between the River Seine and the Vexin hills, in Vétheuil, with outbuildings and a more than 3,900-m² walled garden. The residence dates from the first half of the 19th century and displays all the characteristic elements of bourgeois architecture. The symmetrical, three-storey building stands on a base of cut stone equipped with basement windows. The combination of red brick and light-coloured stone underlines the regular shape of the tall window frames, fitted with louvred shutters and moulded lintels. The roof is punctuated by dormer windows while three tall, slender chimney stacks stand out from its silhouette. The building stands in the centre of a vast, almost 4,000-m² garden and is set back from the street behind a gate and small wall. To the rear, it opens onto a slightly sloping garden. There are several outbuildings requiring renovation set away to the side of the house. A rotunda style 19th-century veranda stands on the south-facing patio. A flight of stone steps, with well-pruned hedges on either side, leads up to the main entrance door. The property’s balanced structure and fine proportions have been preserved, making this sober edifice typical of the tastes of an era in which secondary homes had to combine distinction, comfort and openness to the surrounding landscape. Refurbishment work will be necessary but the edifice boasts remarkable potential for restoration.

House Villeneuve-les-avignon (30)
A small historical building, tastefully renovated, with two floors & an interior courtyard, 5 min from Avignon, on the other side of the Rhone River. The edifice, located on Saint-Pons square, was built between 1230 and 1375 in the quarter of Bourguet, at a time when the town was experiencing unprecedented urban expansion related to the construction of the Saint-Bénézet bridge and the development of a royal hamlet around the Philippe-le-Bel tower. This new neighbourhood – the royal fortified town or Bourguet – sprouted up around the base of Mount Andaon, while Saint Pons’ church (located directly opposite the building in question and now transformed into a multimedia library) was the heart and soul of daily life in this area. Preserved in one of the ground-floor rooms, like some kind of major historical breakthrough, a fragment of a wall featuring opus spicatum or 'spiked work' masonry not only attests to the fact that this building was constructed at the time of this particular boom, but also provided an economic and convenient construction solution: the flat stones were taken directly from the ground’s surface in order to avoid costs related to dressing and transporting this material. As for the main building, with three storeys as well as a half-level, it also includes the ground floor of the adjacent building and two-thirds of a small, jointly-owned courtyard, while the complex was initially much larger and extended from east to west between two streets, as indicated in the Napoleon land registry. With stunning original details that were deliberately preserved and highlighted thanks to a respectful and insightful renovation carried out by the architectural firm that currently owns the property, it was possible to combine the charm of an ancient dwelling with more modern comforts, whereas the dwelling’s façade, facing fully east and painted an eye-catching burnished red ochre colour, is made up of a single bay that includes three vertically aligned windows/doors with pale surrounds, two of which are safeguarded by grey ochre shutters and matching guardrails. In addition, its barrel tile gable roof extends over the façade, a typically Provencal feature, and boasts a double genoise cornice, while, the main building, which has been transformed into five offices, is accessible from the ground floor of the neighbouring edifice, where a reception hall, a meeting room, a kitchen and a lavatory were created.
