House with pool and garden Valence (26)
An 18th-century house with a swimming pool, in 4 hectares of parkland, in a village in the hills of the Drôme area. The origins of this property, called ‘Le Valrey’, date back to the 17th century. It is set around a characterful house situated at the top of a small rocky outcrop, overlooking its parkland and the surrounding landscape. The property is mostly walled and has two entrances: one via an entrance porch alongside the church and the other via a gate opening onto the road. The three-storey main residence with a hipped roof made of flat tiles was built in keeping with the traditional layout of edifices in the Dauphinois sector. A cornice underlines the roof at the top of the light beige coloured lime rendered facades with ashlar quoins as well as dressed stone door and window surrounds. The small-paned windows are fitted with light blue / grey painted wooden shutters, while the wooden entrance door is adorned with a knocker. Vast, landscaped parkland stretches out around the house, made up of wide terraces, tall trees and winding drives that hug the natural relief of the land.

Manor La Roche-Jaudy (22)
A 14th-century manor and its gatehouse, on approximately 8 hectares of meadows, 10 minutes to the south of Tréguier, in Brittany. The property is arranged around an immense courtyard surrounded by several stone buildings topped with slate roofs, while the former manor, identifiable thanks to its immense carriage entrance and original layout, represents the main dwelling for this complex of buildings. Dating from the 14th century, it is accessible via a lancet archway, the latter of which is surrounded by multi-tiered moulded archivolts, supported by small embedded columns. Crowned with an upper arch that buttresses a trilobate stone above the passageway, the latter of which connects the property’s large original drive with the manor’s courtyard, a narrow window, surrounded by granite has been created in the dwelling’s thick wall, whereas the building’s rubblestone masonry and granite ashlar stone details bear witness to the edifice’s different phases of construction. Nearby, a separate building has been converted into a holiday cottage, while, directly opposite, a second building is located near the swimming pool and currently features a relaxation area, a fitness room as well as a summer kitchen. As for the outbuildings, they are made up of an agricultural storage building, a garage and several storage spaces, whereas two entrances provide access to the property. The first gives on to the manor’s original drive, the latter of which is lined with trees and, specifically, Mirabelle plums, as well as flowerbeds, and is used by the property’s guests, while the second is accessible via a solid electric gate. Lastly, in the middle of the courtyard stands a tall cypress, which facilitates vehicle manoeuvring, whereas the outskirts of the buildings are blanketed with grassy areas planted with chestnuts, walnuts, shrubs and many flowerbeds.

House with terrace Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the historic center of Ciutadella, a stately home of nearly 400 m². The stately homes of Ciutadella are recognizable by their silence. Behind facades that give no hint of their scale, they unfold into entire floors that only the occupant eventually comes to know fully. This one spans nearly 400 m², a legacy of the Menorcan nobility who built for several generations at once. A building permit is already included with the property, outlining five bedrooms and living spaces organized according to the layout typical of the island’s grand urban residences. The interior courtyard and terrace serve as a reminder that even in the heart of the densest urban fabric, Ciutadella has always managed to reserve a glimpse of the sky. What this house once was remains evident. What it will become depends solely on a permit that has already been signed.

House with pool Grez-Doiceau (Belgium)
In Walloon Brabant, a 19th-century farm with a main house and separate dwellings. A square-layout farmhouse is never built at random. The enclosed courtyard provided shelter from the wind, organized daily work, and separated different functions without ever separating the inhabitants. This one, built in the 19th century, still follows this layout with a fidelity that the regional heritage inventory has finally recognized, without, however, subjecting it to the constraints of a formal designation. The main farmhouse has retained the spirit of this Brabant rural architecture: living spaces that flow seamlessly into one another, numerous bedrooms, and an office with a separate entrance that serves as a reminder that these farms once housed multiple activities at the same time. Surrounding it, former living quarters occupy what were once barns, garages, or attics, continuing the Brabant tradition of having multiple households live together under one roof. Brussels is 30 km away. Here, time moves at a different pace.

House with garden and terrace Andrezieux-boutheon (42)
A house, a villa and a lodge, in around 6,200-m² grounds, less than one hour from Lyon, overlooking the Forez plain. At the end of a quiet road, the property’s entrance gate opens onto two drives: one of them leads to the 18th-century style large house and its adjoining lodge, while the other leads to the villa, which is an old building with a renovated interior. The two edifices stand on each side of a cypress tree-lined driveway and each have gardens in which a swimming pool could be installed. Further away, a large, partially glazed workshop overlooks the terraced grounds. The property is for sale in its entirety but can also be divided and sold separately, one lot including the large house and lodge plus around 3,500 m² of land for a price of € 1,368,000, and the other including the villa, workshop and approximately 3,000 m² of land, at a price of € 832,000.

House with garden and terrace Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the old town of Ciutadella, a four-story house built in 1860, with a patio and terraces under the Menorcan sky. 1860 was a time when Ciutadella was still building upward to escape the heat without turning its back on the street. This house belongs to that precise moment in the city’s history, when each floor offered a little more coolness and privacy, and when the green shutters served a climatic purpose before they were a matter of aesthetics. The renovation respected this original intent rather than altering it. The wood, the stone, and the proportions of each room still tell the story of how people once lived in a city closed in on itself, turned toward its courtyards rather than the outside world. Four levels, a patio, two terraces under the Ciutadella sky. The city has continued to exist through this house more than it has passed through it.

House Alaior (Spain)
In the Menorca countryside, near Cala en Porter, a 112-hectare property dating from 1896 with a house of approximately 550 m². 1896, whether carved into stone or simply recorded in the property deeds, the date matters less than what it confirms. One hundred twelve hectares of Menorcan countryside, Talayotic monuments within sight, and a house that has never strayed from its century. The 548 m² of floor space is spread over two stories, with the original floors and exposed beams running uninterrupted throughout. A living room with a fireplace, a separate kitchen, and wide porches where the air circulates as it always has. In the garage, an old bread oven serves as a reminder of what this house has long provided. The renovation is still in progress. As for its history, it doesn’t wait for us to finish it.

Castle Joigny (89)
A 19th-century chateau and its 1.4-hectare grounds, on the banks of the Yonne River, in Burgundy. Having returned from South Africa where he made his fortune, the commissioner of the Chateau de Belle-Rive had it built in 1885 on the foundations of a former inn. Inspired by Neo-Gothic and Renaissance-style architecture, the holiday dwelling has preserved its character, thanks to its recent and large-scale renovations, which has made it one of the most notable landmarks in the vicinity. Surrounded by wooded grounds, of approximately 1.4 hectares, partially bordered by the left bank of the Yonne River, the three-storey dwelling, including a floor under the eaves, enjoys a peaceful setting as well as enchanting views of the river, the valley and its wooded hillsides, while the property itself is accessible via a street from the village, the centre of which is within walking distance, followed by an impressive wrought-iron gate. Past the former caretaker’s cottage and at the end of a driveable lane, one comes face to face with the dwelling, framed on either side by two centuries-old sequoias, whereas, oriented east/west, it was designed with an elegant and, yet, human-sized silhouette. In addition, a glass-enclosed gallery, spanning two floors of the chateau’s central structure, is used as the entrance hall, while the living areas are turned eastward towards the garden and the banks of the river. As for the chateau’s inhabitable areas, they extend over approximately 490 m², whereas, in the distance, the last suspension bridge spanning the Yonne, recognised as a national Historical Monument, is visible from the property.

House Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In the countryside near Ciutadella, Menorca, a 7.5-hectare property with a main building divided into two residences and traditional farm buildings. Seven and a half hectares just a few minutes from Ciutadella. The figure always surprises those discovering Menorca for the first time: the island still retains the vast open spaces that the Mediterranean has lost elsewhere—that sense of open, unspoiled land now found only far from the most sought-after coastlines. The main building features Menorcan stone in its thick walls—the kind that the island’s builders hewn to withstand the wind and keep the interior cool in summer. Over time, it has been divided into two dwellings, each retaining its share of this raw material and the light that filters through the rooms without ever overwhelming them. Surrounding the house are a shed, a chicken coop, and a stone cistern—remnants of the rural way of life that the property has never strayed from. The historic center is nearby, as are the wild beaches. But here, it is the stone that speaks first.

Manor Faro (Portugal)
In the Faro hinterland, in Santa Bárbara de Nexe, a villa set on terraced grounds planted with fruit trees. The Algarve has two faces, and most visitors know only one: that of the coast—bustling, lively, and facing the sea. And then there is the hinterland, which Santa Bárbara de Nexe embodies with its terraced hills, almond trees, and a silence that the proximity of Faro never disturbs. This villa belongs to the second side. Built in harmony with the landscape rather than against it, it arranges its gardens, pool, and terraces according to the same logic as the crops that have surrounded it for generations. The sea is visible in the distance. But here, it is the land that speaks first.

Manor Lisieux (14)
An 18th-century manor with 4,000m² of lush grounds on the Camino de Santiago pilgrims’ way in Normandy’s Calvados department. The manor stands on slopes on the north side of Lisieux, near the River Touques. It is nestled in a lush backdrop. The property’s origins date back to the Middle Ages. It owes its name to a canon who would receive a prebend from the bishop in return for teaching the Holy Scriptures. The extensive plot of land forms a triangle where two calm roads meet. The majestic building is a single edifice that looks out at lush lawns, which extend around a driveway. The driveway leads to the manor and garage. It splits into two separate lanes that run along either side of the manor. A group of tall trees on the north side lies beyond an orchard, a vegetable patch and lawns. A thick thuja hedge encloses the grounds, ensuring absolute privacy. Beyond it, there is a semi-rural environment of green landscape that is dotted with woods and that stretches to the horizon. The manor was built in the 1780s and 1790s when forest-clearing had almost been completed in the region. It is a half-timbered construction with timber framing that is typical of architecture in the Pays d’Auge province. The main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. Oak was used for the building’s framework. Cob filler was used for the spaces between the beams and then lime-rendered. This method was inexpensive during the house’s period of construction. Today, it characterises the identity and charm of traditional Norman homes. The timber framing is mainly in the building’s upper section, its lower section being made of brick and stone. Old tiles cover the hipped roof. A protruding section on the east side that leads out southwards was built in the same style as the rest of the house, probably after the Second World War. Its roof has a jerkinhead end and eaves. The roof also has two dormers that face, at a right angle, two dormers on the roof’s east slope. On the entrance side, there are three other hipped dormers. Two brick chimney stacks rise up from the roof too. All the windows are single-glazed and have small panes. At the end of the house, an additional section adjoins the manor. It has a gable roof of old tiles with a small dormer. This extension forms a garage. It is used as a utility section and was probably originally a farm building to which the manor was added.

House with garden and terrace Tours (37)
A remarkable old house in more than 2 hectares of enclosed parkland, with outbuildings, in Tours, 15 minutes on foot from the cathedral. On a one-way street heading down to the River Loire, the property’s gate opens onto a drive winding through tall trees to a parking space in front of a garage. To the side, several stone steps lead to a south-facing, wide, gravelled patio that surrounds the main building. Below, a lawned area is bordered by trees that stretch as far as the eye can see, with only the towers of the Cathedral emerging from the greenery. The oldest part of the two-storey residence, one of which is an attic level, dates back to the 17th century. It was expanded in the 18th century. Through the wide openings on the ground floor with tuffeau stone surrounds, two reception rooms adorned with wood panelling and fireplaces on the walls are bathed in light, as is a bedroom with an en suite bathroom. To the rear, there is an adjoining former orangery with three tall, semi-circular arched windows. To the east, the kitchen opens onto the rear of the parkland. On the top floor, several bedrooms can be reached via the main staircase or a service staircase to the rear. In the orangery, a passage leads to a lower level containing a vaulted cellar and a garage. The first floor has been converted into a vast room, into which light pours through a large window boasting views of the cathedral. An annexe tucked away behind the vegetation lets nature almost rush in through its top to bottom glazed walls. It is made up of a reception space with a shower room and a lavatory. The 2 hectares of parkland are dotted with a variety of tree types including a two-hundred-year-old cedar.

Contemporary apartment Paris 16ᵗʰ (75)
A high-ceilinged Parisian apartment bathed in natural light in a former belle époque workshop in the French capital’s 16th arrondissement. The edifice stands out for its pale brickwork facade with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The entrance door is set in a surround of blue enamelled ceramic made by the famous French ceramist Émile Müller. This surround is embellished with ceramic tiles with floral and foliage motifs in an art nouveau style and is crowned with a lion’s head. Beyond the entrance door, there is a hallway with a staircase that displays an astonishing ceramic frieze – a listed work in the local land use plan. It is a tall frieze of Persian archers made by Émile Müller. Enamelled bricks adorn the walls and faithfully reflect a frieze from the Palace of Darius in Susa, Iran. Wooden steps lead up to the second floor. Beyond the apartment’s door, there is a vast 120m² space with a five-metre-high ceiling. The main part is an open-plan space bathed in an abundance of natural light from a huge glazed east-facing wall of large panes set in wooden frames. This extensive glazing is the architectural centrepiece of this former workshop. It looks down at an inner court in which the colourful elevations of the neighbouring buildings display a picture that changes over the course of the day. Wood strip flooring of solid oak with a patina of time extends across all the rooms. Its honey tinge and broad planks invite your gaze to explore the apartment. The pure-white walls underline the true sizes of the rooms and reflect the light. The layout respects the workshop’s original fluidity and keeps its character while organising distinct purposes for the different spaces. Beside the huge glazed wall, there is a workspace. The centre is taken up by a relaxation area with contemporary furniture. And a kitchen lies beneath a mezzanine. You reach this mezzanine via a white staircase with geometric lines, to the left of the entrance hall. An open-plan reading room lies up on this mezzanine and a landing connects to the main bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub, a lavatory and a window. One last flight of stairs takes you up to a second bedroom on the top floor.

Seaside house with garden Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)
In Cala d'en Busquets, Ciutadella, two seaside townhouses of approximately 234 m² in need of renovation, with a garden and views of the harbor. The sea at Ciutadella has that distinctive color that painters have long struggled to name. 'Turquoise' is too simple a word. Let’s just say it changes with the time of day, and from Cala d’en Busquets, you have plenty of time to watch it. Two houses have sprung up here, just as they do everywhere in Menorca: built of stone, near the water, without seeking to dominate their surroundings. Some 234 m² that the renovation will transform, according to the vision of whoever chooses them, into spaces that the Mediterranean light will make feel spacious.

Farmhouse with outbuildings and garden Saint-Astier (24)
A former farming estate to be restored, with a pond and 9 hectares of wooded grounds, in the Périgord Blanc area, near to Saint-Astier. The property stretches over a surrounding surface of more than 9 ha. An earthen track, at each end of which there are entrances to the property, separates the wooded plots, which make up most of the estate, from the meadows. In the centre, an approximately 2,000-m² pond adjoins a naturally landscaped garden, the main set of buildings and an outbuilding in ruins. The architectural complex forms a closed square with an inner courtyard that is today covered in grass. The north and western parts form an L-shape and accommodate the living areas, while the two other sides are single-level outbuildings. Two corner pavilions, with three and four levels respectively, overlook the rest of the buildings and the courtyard. The living areas are made up of two double level wings and a three-story corner pavilion, all of which are attached and easily interconnected. They are currently divided into three separate dwellings measuring approximately 345 m², 131 m² and 157 m² respectively. However, they could easily be transformed into a single house or divided differently according to choice. The group of buildings, which is both very coherent and yet also fairly diverse, boasts façades made of rendered stone, mainly regularly sized rectangular windows with ashlar frames, extremely sober cornices and gabled as well as hipped roofs made of half-round tiles or flat tiles on the tallest of the two pavilions.

Manor Borba (Portugal)
Near Borba, in the Alentejo, Quinta do General, a 16th-century estate featuring a mansion designed by Raul Lino. 400 years in the same family. That figure speaks for itself. It simply raises the question of what one gives up when passing on a place like this. Quinta do General dates back to the 16th century. Architect Raul Lino left his mark on the property, expanding the manor house with the precision and sensitivity that characterize his work. The 18th-century private chapel, adorned with azulejos, bears witness to what the great families of the Alentejo built for themselves when they built for eternity. The landscaped gardens, the spacious salons, the nine bedrooms: a setting that four centuries of continuous care have maintained in a condition that few Portuguese estates can claim.

Property Cascais (Portugal)
In Cascais, near Parque Marechal Carmona, a classic 809 m² property. Cascais did not choose its destiny by chance. The Portuguese court settled there in the 19th century, and that decision changed everything: the mansions, the gardens, the layout of the streets, and the way the city looks out toward the sea. Set within this historic fabric, a classic 809 m² property occupies one of the city’s oldest addresses. The façade reflects its era. Parque Marechal Carmona is nearby, as are the marina and the beaches. Lisbon is just thirty minutes away. Some properties are valued for what they are. The address is part of what makes them what they are.

A city dwelling with four bedrooms and a separate studio flat, surrounded by a landscaped garden, within a residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Tours. From a quiet street in a residential neighbourhood, a long drive leads to the gate, which then continues on to the dwelling, whose gable end features two garage doors, before finally terminating with a wide car park, extended by a carport. As for the dwelling, sheltered from view, it faces east-west and is surrounded by a garden with a variety of landscaped areas, planted with flowers, shrubs and many different trees, which were chosen in order to provide its exterior with a riot of colourful blossoms throughout the year.
