House with terrace Florac Trois Rivières (48)
A former municipal tax collection office renovated into a village dwelling, between Mount Lozère and Mount Aigoual, in the Cévennes National Park. In the village, the former municipal tax collection office – which once housed the local school a century ago – has been entirely restored and converted into cosy guest accommodations. With approximately 170 m², the house stands out thanks to its high ceilings and rooms bathed in light, which provide 180° panoramic views of the surrounding Cévennes valleys that extend as far as the eye can see. Facing south, it marks the village’s southern border and is extended by a wooden patio that seems to float above the landscape. As for its renovations, they were able to conserve the soul of the premises, while still retaining its original materials and incorporating all modern comforts, such as a pellet furnace, fibre optic cable, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.

House Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat (87)
Five former flour mills for commercial use, with water rights, at the entrance to a medieval town 25 minutes from Limoges . Seen from the air, the four mills built in a row have a remarkable layout, which ingeniously hugs the rugged relief of the banks of the Vienne. Their presence on an island, which divides the course of the river into two arms within a natural loop, has been attested to since at least 1224. At the front, an imposing rock like a ship's bow seems to be holding the island up. It also serves as a fulcrum for the dyke that crosses the river and allows the water to be diverted into a regulation canal. Each of the small mills, built with 'limousinerie' masonry and one or two storeys high, has its own unique architecture, with timber-framed walls filled with cob. The earthy tones of the rendering from the local soil, combined with the canal tile roofs laid without lime, ensure perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape. On one bank, a larger former flour mill, built more recently and set back from the main road, consists of two three-storey buildings. Most of its original mechanisms have been preserved. This industrial heritage is complemented by a number of garden plots and coppice groves scattered around the island, as well as two parking areas.

House Sainte-Adresse (76)
A 1929 neo-Norman villa with a sea view and a garden covering almost 4,000m², nestled in the town of Sainte-Adresse on high ground beside the city of Le Havre, Normandy. The property lies on high ground in the town. The view here stretches several dozen kilometres south-west towards Caen and Normandy’s Côte fleurie coastline. From the street, a ramp leads to a parking area on one side of the villa with a garage and service entrance door. The villa was built in 1929 in line with the resort’s development by Parisian businessman Georges Dufayel. The elegant edifice has all the traits of the neo-Norman style of architecture: half-timbering, steep roofs with overhangs, complexity and dissymmetry in the forms, corbelling, bay windows, balconies and large picture windows that look out at the sea and garden. The interior, on the other hand, is more classical in design with a layout typical of an upper-middle-class dwelling. The spaces are organised and well-structured. The everyday spaces and the more private rooms are distinct. The garden extends mainly in front of the main entrance door, facing the sea, and on the opposite side too. Behind the villa, the hillside has been partially stone-laid and is dotted with specific clusters of plants. Steps lead down from the home to the street.

Castle Ombrée d'Anjou (49)
A 19th-century chateau and its outbuildings, on 10-hectare grounds in the natural and historical region of Haut-Anjou. Standing in the middle of the property and surrounded by expansive meadows, the main dwelling is extended to the east by several outbuildings, a vegetable garden and aviaries, which are all easily accessible thanks to a second entrance located on this side of the property. With its front door on its southern side, the dwelling, built with an eclectic architectural style typical of the middle of the 19th century, was constructed in 1853. Commissioned by the Wolfcatcher royal in a region abounding with game and ideal for hunting, it is flanked on either side by two tall gable ends linked by a central building, while its asymmetrical exteriors were built out of ashlar tuffeau stone, sculpted in some places and highlighted with red brick in others. As for its slate multi-pitched roof, it is punctuated by brick chimneys, tuffeau stone dormer windows and a small bell tower, while in the middle of the main façade, the front door is accessible via wide slate steps, typical of the region.

House with pool Bandol (83)
An imposing 900 m² house in an 8-hectare estate, interspersed with olive trees and vines in Provence, to the west of Toulon and 20 minutes from the shores of the Var department . Behind a wrought iron gate framed by stone pillars, a winding, shady cobbled driveway stretches almost 100 metres. It winds through vineyards and olive groves, then gently climbs the curves of the land to the house, which is hidden from view and blended in perfectly with the landscape. The estate covers more than 8 hectares of farmland. The house, right in the heart of this natural environment, has a total living area of around 900 m². Built in the mid-19th century, the original building faces north-south and spans around 300 m² over two storeys. Its stone façades and gable roof are typical of local rural architecture. An extension, which blends in coherently with the original building, was added around 15 years ago, perpendicularly, to the west. Facing east-west, it forms a T-shape with the old wing, and is two storeys high as well. Although designed as two independent entities, the two buildings could easily be connected to create a fluid interior flow. To the north-east, the paved driveway continues on to the various outbuildings: garages, farm buildings and storage areas. Below, on the south side, a vast 18 x 7 m swimming pool is lined with travertine decking and backed by a pool house. A little further away, to the west of the house, an equestrian structure comprising a few loose stalls and a lunge ring in need of renovation is a reminder of the estate's agricultural vocation.

Mas Prades (07)
A 16th-century manor house and its heated swimming pool, in the foothills overlooking the Ardèche River, upstream from the town of Aubenas. First mentioned as of 1414, the Fabrias fiefdom is part of a long history: built on behalf of the Lord of Chanaleilles, who made it his stronghold until 1735, it was constructed over the vestiges of a ruin, as attested by a construction note from 1610. It was then passed into the hands of Cappendu de Remeuil, architect to the King and a prominent figure in the region, before becoming the residence of Agnès Perrin-Lacroix in 1986, who eventually sold it to its current owners in 2005. Appearing to have been built mostly over the same time period, the house’s walls, the thickness of which varies between 0.98 and 1.3 metres, bear witness to a solid and long-lasting construction. As for its interior, chestnut ceiling beams cadence the space, while the floors juxtapose hardwood and original terracotta tiles, some of which are hand painted. In addition, behind the house, an immense cistern hollowed out of the rock, visible in certain areas, collects rainwater, whereas, higher up and sheltered from view, a swimming pool, heated by the sun, is supplied with the white water of the surrounding natural springs. Built into the rock itself, the property, in perfect harmony with its environment, also comes with a former threshing platform located on the other side of the small street and facing the house’s front door, which is now used as a patio overlooking a garden in which a stream snakes its way through olive and fruit trees as well as other vegetation native to the South of France.

Manor Aigre (16)
A 19th-century manor house with outbuildings and six hectares of grounds in a protected natural zone where France’s Charente, Charente-Maritime and Deux-Sèvres departments meet. The grounds are located just south of a hamlet. The dwellings in this hamlet border the property’s northern meadows. The manor house faces south-west and looks out at a tree-dotted space. On each side of the manor house, two long buildings form a U shape with the main house. Two towers with pointed cone roofs adorn the complex on both sides. One of these towers adjoins the northern outbuilding. The property’s entrance gate faces a 150-metre-long drive lined with trees. This drive runs up to a road. On the south-east side, there are other outbuildings: a dwelling with an enclosed garden, farm buildings and looseboxes.

House Brignoles (83)
Nestled away from prying eyes, close to Brignoles and the villages of Haut-Var, a Provençal bastide with a pool, set on a property of about 1.5 hectares. At the end of a discreet path, the place gradually reveals itself. The gaze is first guided by the dry stone terraces that organize the space, then by the presence of water. Originating from an abundant spring, it flows in channels over the stone, runs along the walls, follows the paths, and animates the garden with a constant murmur. The bastide, built between 1978 and 1982, is raised over two levels and composed of interlocking volumes, with one part set slightly back. The facades, coated in yellow-ochre plaster and partially covered with ivy, are pierced with windows featuring light shutters. The gabled roof is made of canal tiles. Set back is an outbuilding that extends the living space: a veranda open to the garden is divided into a kitchen and a summer lounge, sheltered from the pine forest. The land, planted with pines and Mediterranean species, alternates between open areas and shaded spaces; a swimming pool has been installed there.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Blois (41)
A manor with holiday cottages, reception rooms, all fully renovated, in landscaped grounds, 15 minutes from Blois, in the middle of the countryside. This vast complex of buildings, set in an enclosed park covering 8 hectares, has recently undergone a complete and high-quality restoration. The Renaissance manor, which is dominated by its staircase tower, has retained its original character. Set perpendicularly, there is a long series of outbuildings housing three holiday cottages. A barn has been converted into a reception room, as has a nearby modern, glazed greenhouse with a roof. Two other holiday cottages complete the considerable accommodation capacity of this property. The swimming pool to the rear is set in a fenced in area. Slightly further away, exhibition spaces have been created in glazed metal modules. They form a modern cloister, which could easily be repurposed, particularly for receptions. The grounds are partially enclosed behind high walls and towers, of which the walls are listed as a historical monument. The wooded grounds include shaded trails.

Manor Cany-Barville (76)
A listed 17th-century house with guesthouses and a garden designed by the famous landscape architect Jacques Wirtz, 10 minutes from Normandy's Côte d'Albâtre coastline. Just outside the village, a broad wooden gate and paved drive lead to a vast space. Two guesthouses and a garage stand on one side. The main dwelling and its extension stand on the other side. The grand house is typical of noble Norman dwellings from the mid-17th century. South-facing and rectangular in shape, it has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the tall roof space. The building is crowned with a hipped slate roof with six dormers. The elevations are made of brick. Red brickwork forms the quoins, cornices and window and door surrounds. The facade has five bays. On one side, there is a 19th-century brickwork extension. It has a two-level section with a three-slope roof, followed by a single-storey wing with a roof space. This wing houses a swimming pool. The garden was designed by the famous Belgian landscape architect Jacques Wirtz in the early 2000s. Wirtz is known for his work on two Parisian gardens: the Jardin du Carrousel garden in front of the Louvre Museum and the garden of the Élysée Palace. The property’s garden extends beyond the buildings, which it links together with paved paths, some of which are shaded. This magnificent outdoor space offers striking views.

Castle Availles-en-Châtellerault (86)
A late 19th-century chateau with its grounds and farmland over 140 hectares, between Châtellerault and Poitiers. From a small road, a long drive, lined with plane trees, traverses the property’s farmland before reaching the chateau and its enclosed grounds. Although the impressive edifice only dates back to the late 19th century, the estate itself has been occupied since the Middle Ages. With plaster-coated exteriors cadenced by arched windows on the ground floor and rectangular ones upstairs, all surrounded by ashlar stone, its jagged two or three-sided slate rooftops are punctuated by dormer windows, while a farm with outbuildings and two small dwellings are located behind the chateau. Last, but not least, fields surround the chateau on all sides and woods seal off the property to the north.

House with pool Azeitão (São Lourenço e São Simão) (Portugal)
In the historic center of Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, a contemporary villa of approximately 520m², its garden and .... The intelligence of a Portuguese house lies in its duality: the classical austerity of its façade and the boldness of its interior organisation. The decision to invert traditional codes by placing the main living space upstairs creates a unique spatial dynamic and multiplies the number of perspectives. The four suites, cleverly distributed over three levels, ensure a harmonious cohabitation. The Mediterranean vegetation in the garden echoes the landscapes of nearby Arrábida. The wine-growing and aristocratic past of Azeitão resonates here in a resolutely forward-looking interpretation, halfway between cultural roots and openness to the world.

Manor Villeneuve-sur-Lot (47)
A Belle Epoque villa, with grounds, a swimming pool, outbuildings and a view of the village perched on the hill, at the foot of a royal fortified town in the Lot-et-Garonne area. From the country road and just a few minutes from all essential amenities, a private, 300-metre-long drive forms a lengthy spiral around the property from the north, lined by woods and tall trees, up to the property’s gate, from where the eastern façade of the elegant, late-19th century residence looms into view between the trees and shrubs in the garden. After the entrance gate, the gravelled drive widens before the stoop, allowing visitors to disembark from their vehicles, before continuing to the garages several metres further on. The approximately 350-m² villa stands out thanks to its balanced proportions and immaculate architecture, that of a bourgeois residence, in which the façades are punctuated by regular rows of windows and discrete decorative elements, revealing a carefully thought-out construction. It is made up of a vast kitchen, a lounge, a dining room, six bedrooms and four shower rooms, as well as several service rooms. It pays witness to Belle Epoque period architecture, with its brick and stone, light-coloured rendered walls, inspired by spa town edifices. The large and perfectly aligned windows are fitted with wooden, louvred shutters painted in a warm brown hue that combines well with the decorative details in brick. The gable end is dotted with decorative oculi while the gabled roof is topped by finely crafted ridge cap, giving the building a silhouette that stands out in the Lot-et-Garonne landscape, in the midst of 2.5-hectare grounds boasting tall cedars, oak and ash trees as well as flowering shrubs, in an orderly and harmonious whole. To the south of the house, the stone and wooden outbuildings are made up of a garage, a barn and stables with a riding area. To the west, there is a large patio at the end of which stands a period ornamental balustrade, followed by the swimming pool and view up to the royal fortified village.

House with pool Lachapelle (82)
A Gascon chateau, a commandery of the Knights Templar and their many outbuildings around an enclosed garden, in the centre of a charming and historic village, at the gates of the Gers department, one hour from Toulouse. Built on a rocky outcrop and enclosed by fortified walls, the detached complex of buildings overlooks the village's few neighbouring houses and enjoys a 360° view of the surrounding rolling countryside from each of its edifices. Sheltered from view, the property is also steeped in silence given that the secluded village is only accessible via one small road. The adjacent buildings that compose the architectural complex surround a grassy courtyard as well as the former chapel of the “Knights’ Manor”, which became a church in the 15th century. Although it forms a harmonious whole with stone exteriors topped with barrel tile roofs, different buildings stand out due to the masonry of their exteriors, their roofs and other architectural elements specific to the successive periods in which the property was remodelled, such as its patios or windows. Consequently, the chateau that houses the current 330-m² dwelling distinguishes itself from the rest of the property thanks to its towers that cadence its exterior walls clad in stone and small bricks, as well as its many windows and immense patio of more than 100 m², highlighted with authentic balusters. As for the former Knights Templars monastery, which was later used as a wine storehouse and then a residence, it is a perfect example of medieval architecture. The horseshoe-shaped building presents traces of its former functions as a fortified chateau as demonstrated by the arrow slits, loopholes and scars resulting from the multiples modifications to its exterior over the centuries. With a surface area of 450 m², it has two storeys, including the attic space, and is topped with a gabled roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel, while its exterior walls, composed of an amalgam of unpointed massive rubble stone masonry and ashlar stone, are characteristic of medieval constructions. Nestled next to one another, the outbuildings – former barns, stables, wine storehouse and other storerooms – are arranged between the two main buildings in such a way as to create a single edifice, which acts as the village's epicentre. It was only recently that a tree-filled landscaped piece of land below the village was annexed to the property. Today, sheltered from view, it includes a swimming pool and pool house in need of a bit of refreshing.

House Royan (17)
In a spa town between Bordeaux and La Rochelle, a discreet, 230-m² house, its tree-filled garden, large upper patio, garage and studio. Rectangular in shape and built over two levels, the house is topped by barrel tile roofs, the organisation of which demonstrates that initially, there were most likely several houses and outhouses built one after the other depending on the needs at the time. The visible stone masonry is punctuated by numerous windows and doors surrounded by ashlar stone. On the garden side, the ground floor rooms are connected via a 20-metre gallery along the façade, looking out over the garden with its picture windows. As for the upstairs, this floor includes a patio of approximately 65 m², which extends along the entire length of the house. From there, the view extends to the rooftops of the city’s chateau and, on the right side, over the Romanesque church’s bell tower. Right next door, a covered and converted section provides access to a small courtyard adjacent to the studio, which looks out over one of the town’s squares.

Castle Lectoure (32)
A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a pool and 7.5 hectares of grounds facing the historical town of Lectoure in France’s Gers department. A track leading to the property leaves a small country road on the hillside. A discreet spring covered with stones marks the entrance to the grounds. The chateau’s facade appears at the end of a drive shaded by tall, old trees. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy and calm. It looks out over a valley, in isolation from the rest of the world. You can admire several stunning vistas from the property. These views stretch to the town of Lectoure, perched on its rocky outcrop. The chateau is built on a large gravel terrace with a round ornamental stone pond. The building is rectangular and has an adjoining tower in the middle of its west elevation. It has four flours that can be seen from its east side, lower down. The top floor is a loft space. The edifice offers a liveable floor area of around 800m², spread between the ground floor and the first floor, which can be seen from the south driveway. The chateau was built in 1805. It is made of dressed stone, rendered with a beige lime coating. Its facade reflects the architectural traits of its era: 14 rectangular openings are arranged symmetrically around a central bay that stands out for its dressed stone and its double door that forms the main entrance. The quoins, cornices and door and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed stone. The building is crowned with a zinc and slate mansard roof with hipped ends, punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows on its south side, three on its north side, one on its east side and another one on its west side. The grounds are dotted with age-old trees and vast clearings. This wonderful outdoor space includes an isolated swimming pool, a dovecote, an old washing place and an Italian-style garden. The style of this Italian garden goes well with the chateau’s north elevation and brings out its elegance. At a lower level, there are two large rectangular outbuildings made of rubble stone. They face each other and can be reached via a separate drive on one side.

Listed castle Saint-Quay-Portrieux (22)
A listed Moorish Revival villa opposite Ile de la Comtesse on the Goëlo coast in Brittany, with panoramic sea views. With the rising popularity of sea bathing at the end of the 19th century, a new type of seaside architecture emerged along the French coast, designed for relaxation and turned towards the outdoors. Residences in a variety of bold styles flourished on the shores of the Goëlo region. Built on a hilltop, the 'Turkish Villa' was erected by the Count de la Lande de Calan around 1880. Extended in 1906, it offers uninterrupted views of the sea and the port. The house is part of a co-owned plot with an adjoining 4-star hotel. Access to the property is unrestricted. One parking space is reserved for the villa's residents, and five others can be made available on an occasional basis. The entrance is on the western facade. Extensive vegetation, combined with a coursed granite masonry supporting wall with a balustrade, ensures privacy. A large bed of rosebushes precedes the wall and balusters, with a profusion of agapanthus as a backdrop. Two well-trimmed conifer hedges mark the entrance. Between these, a small staircase leads to an esplanade and to a granite approach stair serving the solid wood entrance door, carved in the shape of a horseshoe arch.

House with garden Fresnay-sur-Sarthe (72)
South of the Normandy-Maine Regional Park, a 15th century feudal manor house, its outbuildings and its pond . Access to the property is via a driveway framed by an orchard and a vegetable plot. Old outbuildings face each other on either side. The residence stands at the back of the courtyard. Meadows planted with hedges enclose the buildings. They protect them from the wind and provide shelter from prying eyes. The complex offers views over the surrounding countryside, from the pastures to the cultivated fields. Two ponds receive water from a stream that flows into the Sarthe, a few meadows away. The origins of the site date back to the eleventh century. In the 14th century, this was one of the largest feudal manors in the area. During the French Revolution, it lost its influence. Built around 1450 by the Saint-Berthevin family, the cellar and the central part of the present building, with its monumental fireplace, bear witness to this feudal past. However, the defensive towers once abutting this feudal building have not survived. In the 18th century, the parish registers mentioned the old pond and the fishing rights for the farm.

It stands out with its sober façade, featuring walls covered in white render, marked by the geometric aspect of the openings: a bay window on the ground floor and three windows on the upper floor. It is characteristic of Touquet architecture, with the presence of a narrow openwork wooden balcony, painted olive green, that runs along the main façade and seems to correspond to the green squares that highlight the bay window on the lower level along its entire length.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Abbeville (80)
In the Baie de Somme, 2 hours from Paris, a 18th-century chateau, 460 m², and its park of 9 hectares. The chateau was built in 1790 for Pierre Fanneau de la Horie, lord of La Touche, an engineer of the King responsible for the development of the ports on the Picardy coast and the Baie de Somme. He acquired the Lordship of Lanchères in 1774, the pre-existing building having been completely destroyed. The architect of the typical neoclassical residence is Antoine-Charles Aubert, who is also responsible for the Place du Palais Bourbon in Paris, as well as various buildings and private hotels that have since disappeared, including a folly in Lanchères, which was located on the hill of Chaillot. The canals and the park were designed and planted at the same time. A gate opens onto a large circular grassy parterre, planted with trimmed yews. A pathway, also circular, allows parking of vehicles in front of the chateau. Two pavilions, used respectively as a garage and a shed, are located at each end of the courtyard. A little away, a chapel and a dovecote seem to guard the property while, to the west, there is a walled orchard with old greenhouses, an orangery used as craft workshops, and a swimming pond. An old farm located to the east adjoins the plant maze. The estate includes a park planted with 9 hectares, featuring a French ornamental garden (Mérimée base), orchard, pastures, woods, and canals connecting to the marshes of Lanchères and Cayeux-sur-Mer.This description has been automatically translated from French.
