An authentic 18th-century townhouse converted into a B&B and restaurant in the heart of the historic district of Semur-en-Auxois . Situated in the historic centre of Semur, opposite the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, the foundations of which date back to the 11th century, the residence dominates a cobbled square surrounded by timber-framed buildings, townhouses and numerous shops within walking distance.

Castle Segré-en-Anjou Bleu (49)
A family chateau where a famous novelist lived, tucked away in the beautiful countryside of France’s Anjou province. The chateau stands in the shade of age-old trees that tower in English-style grounds. The edifice was recently restored. Its roofing, insulation, electricity, plumbing, windows and sanitation system were renovated. Its 40-metre-long facade stretches from north to south. The chateau has a main section with dual-aspect rooms. This section is framed between a pavilion at its north end and a second pavilion at its south end. Two towers also adjoin it. One of these towers houses a chapel. To the south and west of the dwelling, there are 6,500m² of tree-dotted grounds that are easy to maintain. The property was the family home of the famous French novelist Hervé Bazin. The current owner recreated the atmosphere of Bazin’s novel ‘Vipère au Poing’ here and opened the chateau to visitors. The property has been entirely adapted to comply with norms for France’s accreditation for a building to be open to the public. It now resembles a museum and can be used as a business.

On the ground floor, a large arched bay with small panes opens onto the garden through a double door, flanked by two other rectangular bays. On the first floor, the rotunda has three large openings, each preceded by a balcony with a wrought-iron railing. The symmetrical composition and proportions reflect the 18th century’s taste for classical balance and light. Raised by two levels under the eaves, the house includes five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a living area of approximately 190 m². The garden, of nearly 2000 m², once integrated a much larger estate, composed of vineyards and woods extending to the banks of the Erdre. The outbuildings have been reinvented over time, with former stables transformed into a residence adjoining a workshop. To the west, along the street, another set includes shelters and storage spaces, as well as an independent apartment.This description has been automatically translated from French.

2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris, in the Nivernais countryside, an authentic manor surrounded by a park of about 3 hectares. A country road lined with a few traditional farms crosses vast meadows occupied by Charolais cattle. Gradually, the property appears: a manor inspired by British architecture set in the midst of a park planted with ancient trees.A gravel flowerbed surrounds the building and allows for vehicle parking. Not far away, an elongated outbuilding faces a well equipped with its wheel. To the south, there is a swimming pool and its technical room. Several Medici vases mark the main entrance. Built entirely on a basement, the manor has three levels. The facades present a polychrome composition with stone and brick, rhythmically adorned with numerous large-paned windows topped with stone lintels. Two balconies animate the elevations, one of which highlights the main entrance extended by a stone staircase with a wrought-iron railing animated by volutes echoed on the balustrades. The intermediate chainings combine brick and stone, similar to the frames of the windows.A tower attached to the building reinforces the verticality of the whole. It retains corner chainings in brick as well as bands that mark the different levels. In the upper parts, the facades are clad in regional bricks pierced with windows topped with small glazed imposts adorned with gables. The slate roofs have been entirely restored. Some are hipped, particularly those of the tower, while others are gabled.

House Lectoure (32)
Between Bordeaux and Toulouse, just 10 minutes from a charming Gers town, there is a listed medieval tower, restored, along with its dwelling. A small winding road through the fields leads to a hamlet of just a few souls. The medieval tower of the property, which stands out from the landscape, is located at the entrance of the group of houses, away from view with no neighboring properties. The plot, where the two buildings face each other, overlooks cultivated land where the colors change with the seasons. Protected by a stone wall, reminiscent of the old fortified enclosure, and a tall porch adorned with a wrought iron gate, the dwelling is shielded from prying eyes. Along the enclosure, a grassy and shaded area allows for vehicle parking. The tower, built on a nearly square plan, overlooks a park planted with trees, which is closed off by a small gate on the left side of the main entrance. Perpendicular to the enclosing wall, the stone dwelling is built on a rectangular plan. It is elevated over two levels under a final floor that features a sloping ceiling, covered with a tiled roof, highlighted by three rows of eaves. A large awning is leaned against the south side. Accessible from the garden via a porch that leads down a few steps to the space below, an imposing wooden gate communicates with a passageway at the back of the house. The landscaped garden, which stretches in front of the house and connects to the tower, is planted with various species, a covered well and low walls provide separation from the lower part of the land.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Agen (47)
A small 16th century private mansion, redesigned in the 18th century, with a walled garden, in the heart of the historic market town of Port-Sainte-Marie, in Lot-et-Garonne . A few areas of the medieval town remain, with their half-timbered houses and mullioned windows. Built along the main road that runs upstream along the Garonne, on the city's ancient ramparts, the town centre is carefully maintained by a variety of urban developments designed to unify the architectural heritage. The house is a small private mansion with three storeys on the street side to the north and four storeys on the courtyard side to the south. Opposite the main entrance, a wide terrace runs the full length of the façade, joined by two original, timber-framed walkways overlooking an enclosed, flower-filled garden. The east gallery has a Moroccan-style lounge set in a small flat, which has three large windows; the west gallery, which is entirely open to the outside, leads to a summer dining room. The garden is closed off by a garage that can be easily accessed from a side street. Finally, two passageways under the house lead to cellars and an underground passageway, which was recently closed up. The front façade, accessible from the main street and in dressed stone, was probably standardised in the 19th century. It is open, with its ten large windows and four small ones full of little panes, or its wooden shutters painted in light green that surround an ancient entrance door, also wooden. On the courtyard side, the rear façade features a large cross window on the first floor and pink brickwork on the east side, while the west side features pointed ashlar throughout. On the ground floor, the façade is rendered white. From the terrace, a stone staircase leads down to the garden, both the terrace and stairs have simple wrought-iron railings. The building is semi-detached on its west side, and opens onto a lane via another door with access to the cellars on the east side. All parts of the house are covered with single or double-sloped interlocking or canal tile roofs.

House with pool Todi (Italy)
In Umbria, a restored 13th-century watchtower, its annex and its olive grove in production. Some residences bear witness to several successive lives. This one is a powerful example. Built in the 13th century as a watchtower on the Umbrian hills, it still watches over the rolling landscape, between vineyards and olive groves. Its restoration respects the traces of time: terracotta vaults, exposed stone that interacts with the light. The reception areas occupy the ground floor, where the windows frame views of the countryside. The bedrooms are spread over the upper floors, each one imbued with the thickness of the walls and the patina of the original materials. A separate annex completes the estate. The swimming pool blends into the landscape, a natural extension of the terraces. The grounds extend over several hectares, alternating between olive groves, meadows and ancient woods. The region, rich in gastronomic and wine-growing heritage, lends itself equally well to the intimacy of a residence and to hospitality. The art cities of central Italy remain within easy reach. Between medieval memories and contemporary installations, the residence awaits an attentive eye so that its stones can continue to tell their story. Its unique character gives it the qualities necessary for its transmission to hands that respect its history.

Manor Gaillac (81)
A remarkable property for events, accommodation and gastronomy in a corner of France renowned for its natural beauty and art of living, 40 minutes from Toulouse and Montauban. Tucked away among vineyards and fields, the property stands out for its balance and harmony. A long driveway lined with trimmed hedges and punctuated with stone statues leads to a neatly designed court of honour, which draws your gaze to the main house. This edifice, a grand dwelling with a ground floor and first floor, has an even design and is long and rectangular in form. Its elevations combine brickwork with pale rendering. They are punctuated with a harmonious series of windows fitted with painted shutters and spaced out in a majestic arrangement. The house is crowned with a tiled roof that completes the edifice with understated elegance. Tall trees, including slender cypresses, age-old plane trees and imposing cedars, create a protective environment around the main dwelling. Spread out around the edifice are several outhouses, including a huge reception hall set back from the grand dwelling, a brick lodge and, opposite the latter, a building that is bathed in natural light and that lends itself to a range of possibilities. A former dovecote, converted into a dwelling, is more vertical in form and, in line with it, a workshop and boiler room edge the parkland. Among this series of buildings and natural spaces, the grand house stands proudly as the property’s centrepiece – the jewel in its crown – and bears witness to a refined art of living that endures today.

Mas Sisteron (04)
A more than 140-hectare hunting estate with an 18th-century Provence farmhouse, in the Alpes de Haute-Provence area. The estate can be reached via a discrete tarmacked track that winds through the greenery to the entrance gate. Beyond the gate, the grounds of the vast, entirely fenced, 138-hectare estate, fully preserved from any hustle and bustle, are divided into two separate parts. An old edifice made from local stone and built in the 18th century can only be seen from inside the estate, tucked away in the centre of the first part of the grounds. The typical Provence farmhouse stands in the middle of meadows overlooking the valley. It is set around a central courtyard and includes several independent homes. There is a summer kitchen that is dominated by a swimming pool surrounded by a covered patio and a summer lounge, boasting a panoramic view over the Alpine relief. A second entrance on the Luberon side of the property can be reached by carefully maintained tracks. They also lead to almost 3 hectares of truffle oak trees whose produce is farmed and sold, as well as two lakes. As for the outbuildings, a large edifice contains several garages, a workshop and storage space for agricultural equipment. A well-structured kennel area is made up of twenty boxes, all of which are lit and boast a water supply. The water supply for the estate, which has become a crucial issue in southern France, is guaranteed by a 105-metre-deep borehole fitted with a submersible pump in 2020 that fills a 75-m³ water reserve equipped with a UV treatment system. Several springs and a traditional Provence stone well further enable the property to be self-sufficient in terms of water.

Apartment with pool Laudun-l'Ardoise (30)
A 310-m² dwelling in a 12th-century chateau, registered as a national Historical Monument, with moats, grounds and outbuildings, 30 minutes from Avignon and Uzès, in the Provencal Gard region. Not far from the banks of the Rhône, this chateau is one of the region’s most characteristic monuments, the landscape of which is influenced by winemaking and the richness of its soil, fed by the canals flowing from the peaceful neighbouring waterway, which once provided access to the river. Making skilful use of its strategic position, its construction, on a site that was most likely already occupied during the Carolingian period, dates back to the 12th century with an initial dwelling abutting a defensive tower. However, it was not until the 16th century that it was considerably developed in order to become the impressive edifice of one of the most prominent families in southern France, as well as one of the few in south-eastern France to have a defensive system composed of moats, still filled by a neighbouring stream, which are, in turn surrounded by a curtain of plane trees. From the 12th century, the chateau preserved its corner tower in the northwest, cadenced by impressive arrow slits, while two other towers (including a dovecote) flank the eastern and south-eastern corners of the three three-storey main buildings. The whole surrounds an immense formal courtyard closed off to the south by a high wall, accessible via a massive door with vermiculated rustic stonework, whereas the former rampart walk was transformed into a path along the banks of the moats. In addition, a stone bridge has now replaced the former drawbridge, which today has all but disappeared except for the bases of two of its piers. As for the buildings’ understated exteriors, cadenced by cross-windows and several more recent low-arched windows, they are somewhat counterbalanced by the richly carved doors in the central building and chapel. Saved from ruin in 1978 and registered as a national Historical Monument, the chateau was the subject of a comprehensive restoration project in the 2000s, which resulted in the creation of accommodations combining modern comforts with an unconditional respect for the property’s heritage. Located on the first floor of the chateau’s western wing and partially situated in what was once the Estates General room, the flat occupies a section built between 1572 and 1590 for Marshall de Joyeuse and communicates with a second, independent flat.

House Bagneux (92)
A 19th-century manor house, with a modern extension and landscaped garden, on a plot of more than 2 000 m² in the old town of Bagneux . Four minutes on foot from the main square of the old town of Bagneux, the main residence, part of the municipality's protected built heritage, has stood on a walled plot of more than 2 000 m² since 1843. The floor tiles and parquet flooring, the high ceilings, the mouldings and the views over the large, well-kept garden and the protected landscaped area make this a unique residence. Since the early 2000s, a modern, flat-roofed extension, inspired by the Brutalist style, has been added, creating an aesthetic contrast. On the garden level, on either side of a through corridor, are found the living areas: a double, three-way reception room, with a French window providing access to the garden, and a comfortable dining room, visually linked to the kitchen by a large, custom-made glass wall. All rooms open onto the greenery. In the modern section, two comfortable, bright bedrooms, each with its own shower room and separate toilet, occupy the main level. The basement, semi-underground and lit by basement window wells, contains two large rooms, currently used as offices or libraries. The first floor of the old house, accessed by an oak spiral staircase, has three bedrooms. One of these, measuring around 15 m², leads to a room with a window that has been converted into a spacious wardrobe. The second, which is large (around 17 m²) is used as an office and the third is a small bedroom measuring around 9 m². The bedrooms are next to a bathroom and a separate toilet. A trapdoor in the ceiling provides access, via a retractable staircase, to the vast attic space under the tiled, hip roof, which was renovated and insulated in 2004. Finally, the old house has an underground level that takes up its entire floor area. In addition to a large vaulted cellar, there is a laundry room and a workshop housing the boiler room. The property, surrounded by stone walls lined with a belt of trees and shrubs, can be accessed from two sides, each opening onto a gate. A semi-private driveway running alongside the plot also provides parking space for several vehicles.

House with pool Anet (28)
One hour west of Paris, on the border of Eure and Yvelines, there is an impressive contemporary manor and its garden spanning over 1 hectare. Built at the center of the park, at the end of a path lined with apple trees, the residence consists of a main body and two asymmetrical wings returning at right angles. Raised over two levels and flanked by two square towers, the dwelling is punctuated by numerous windows and dormer windows. The building is organized around a courtyard paved with large slabs, where a heated swimming pool has been set up. The roofs are made of flat tiles, topped with glazed ceramic finials representing animals. These ornaments come from the potteries of Mesnil-de-Bavent, a renowned Norman factory. The façades are made of fieldstone, enhanced with Vosges sandstone around the window frames and at the corners, while the gutters and downspouts are made of copper. Some of the construction materials come from the old farmhouse that once occupied this land: the stones, tiles, and framework have been salvaged, sorted, and reused. The north wing includes a barn of about 100 m², with an automatic door. In the garden, near the bank, a brick house of about 50 m², raised over two levels, currently serves as a storage place.This description has been automatically translated from French.
