Castle Combourg (35)
45 minutes from Saint-Malo, an 18th-century estate. The estate includes a castle, three converted outbuildings, a reception hall, an outdoor swimming pool, and a chapel. It is currently organized for hosting weddings, family stays, and private events. The accommodation capacity is sixteen rooms, totaling 960 m² of living space. The buildings are situated within a 25-hectare park, where walking paths lined with streams reveal the natural wealth of valleys, woods, and ponds. Chateaubriand mentions in his writings the painter François-Agathon Pinot-du-Petit-Bois, who lived here at that time and whose paintings were found by the current occupants in the attics. Meticulously restored, these works are now displayed in the lounges and rooms of the castle. Oriented north-south, the main house of about 450 m² dates back to the 19th century. It is backed by an ancient manor, whose known origins date back to 1429. To the north, the central body is flanked by two pavilions topped with long slate roofs. The facade is tall, rhythmically featuring six regular bays over three levels. The walls are covered with yellow plaster, and the door and window frames and corner chains are made of red granite. A significant central dormer with flaps, topped with a sculpted pediment, crowns the whole, while a corner turret rises to the northwest. On the south side, facing the grand garden of the park, the old house is built of dressed sandstone and granite. Under a slate roof, this rectangular building is rhythmically arranged with seven regular bays over three levels.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Azay-le-Rideau (37)
A 17th & 18th century manor house, outbuildings and parkland, set in almost 2 hectares of land near Azay-le-Rideau, in Touraine.

A wrought-iron gate, supported by two tufa stone pillars, opens onto a driveway that crosses the parkland in front of the residence and leads on to the outbuildings.

The rendered stone façades, with tufa stone quoins, have various sized windows, with small or large panes and tufa stone surrounds. The slate roofs have triangular pediment dormers in the central section. The interiors still have some of the old features, such as parquet flooring and tufa stone fireplaces in the reception rooms. The six bedrooms are spread over the three floors of the house. Extensive wooded parkland surrounds the manor house, covering almost 2 hectares, with terraces, gardens and undergrowth. There are also rock cellars, a swimming pool in need of renovation and three outbuildings on the estate.

House with pool and garden Sully-sur-Loire (45)
East of Sologne, a longère set within 4 ha, with dwellings, outbuildings, garages, storerooms and agricultural storage building. Set well away from neighbours and invisible from the road, the property is reached by a woodland drive and enclosed by trees and hedgerows on all sides. Its approximately 4 ha are largely grassed around the built areas, with mature trees throughout. The brick and half-timbered buildings, erected at the end of the 19th century, form a U-shaped arrangement comprising the main house flanked by two symmetrical wings: one a dwelling requiring renovation, the other given over to storerooms and garages. Together they form a coherent estate open to the forest beyond. At the property's entrance, a large agricultural storage building with an apartment above would suit a professional activity or a caretaker's residence. The roofs are covered in traditional flat tiles.

Castle Fontainebleau (77)
Less than 10 km from Fontainebleau and 1h from Paris, 16th-century royal chateau, with outbuildings, greenhouses, grounds and 60 hectares of woodland. The chateau's story begins in the mid-16th century, when François I came upon the site during a hunt. He ordered the building raised and the vineyard planted. Local tradition holds that the king lodged his mistress in the village across the river and signalled his presence by lighting a great fire high on the estate. Henri IV and Gabrielle d'Estrées spent five years here at the close of the 16th century. From the 17th to the late 19th century, the chateau passed through the hands of princesses and counts, with an industrial interlude in the 18th century when a brickworks was built, probably to supply the estate stables. Modernisation and the railway reshaped the estate towards 1900, and winegrowing gave way to use as a public reception venue (ERP category 5). The main chateau offers nearly 2,300 m² of floor area, of which some 1,800 m² are habitable, laid out over three levels, a mezzanine and attics with a 900 m² footprint. It holds 19 bedrooms, a self-contained apartment, a professional kitchen with vehicle access, several linen rooms and reception rooms. More than half of the second level survives in its original state despite later alterations. On the east side, ceilings close to 5 m, restored oak parquet, marble fireplaces, cornices and original woodwork still conjure the balls and feasts once held here.Five further outbuildings await restoration and add nearly 1,700 m² of habitable space: stables of around 700 m², a director's house of close to 250 m², a recent annexe adjoining the chateau of over 100 m², and a caretaker's house of some 70 m².

House with terrace Murviel-lès-Béziers (34)
A holiday home in a hamlet along the banks of a river, forty minutes to the north of Béziers, in the Hérault department. Accessible from the hamlet’s main lane leading to the church, the U-shaped dwelling, built out of local stone and with a floor area of approximately 160 m², includes a courtyard providing access to the building’s three vaulted cellars.

House with garden Donnemarie-Dontilly (77)
A dwelling with terraced gardens and a small lot across the street, zoned for construction, in one of the Seine-et-Marne's most beautiful villages. Nestled between a garden and a quiet street, this family dwelling features a rectangular cobblestone courtyard extended by two terraced gardens, accessible via several steps, while the upper garden also boasts direct access from another street winding its way up the hillside. On its courtyard-facing side, the dwelling’s central building is flanked by two asymmetrical, perpendicular wings: the one on the left is shorter and narrower than the one on the right, which is taller in stature and stands out thanks to its pointed gable end and irregular proportions, whereas, set back and to the right of the latter, an adjacent outbuilding, lower in height, is accessible via a small passageway and faces the courtyard. With three storeys, including one under the eaves, as well as two half-floors, the semi-detached dwelling features a main façade with plaster-covered stonework and a local flat tile gable roof, while its arched and partially glazed, front double-doors are accessible via a symmetrical limestone double staircase, creating an eye-catching and elegant entrance. In addition, straight and symmetrical small-paned windows, painted louvred shutters and ornate wrought-iron guardrails come together to make, along with a stringcourse, cornice and the front door’s entablature, all moulded, a balanced and subtly colourful composition. Lastly, on the other side of the street, a lot, zoned for construction, provides a nice coda for this stunning architectural and landscaped tableau.

House with pool and garden Pertuis (84)
A two-floor apartment with a private landscaped garden, part of a villa and three-hectare estate, 30 minutes from the city of Aix-en-Provence. Apart from a chateau that used to serve as a wine cellar back in the Roman era, the estate has three Provençal villas built in the 17th century. Around 15 years ago, one of these villas was completely restored with high-quality materials by a renowned architect who divided the edifice into separate apartments. The large villa is surrounded by vineyards. You reach it via a wrought-iron gate framed between two stone pillars. The edifice is made up of several sections of different heights and sizes. The elevations are lime-rendered in an ochre tone. The edifice is crowned with two-slope roofs of barrel tiles, which are characteristic of the local region. On the eastern side of the central building, there is a court with two stone ponds. This court is lined with plane trees. The adjoining gardens of the apartments and the clever positioning of their windows, fitted with wooden shutters, ensure true privacy for the different inhabitants. The elegance of the edifice is underlined with cypresses that tower on both sides. At the back, an olive grove and a large swimming pool form a communal area. A little lower down, an extra space has been created. It serves as a parking area for the inhabitants.

House with pool and garden La Guerche-de-Bretagne (35)
A former presbytery from the 16th century with an outbuilding and a swimming pool, nestled in France’s Ille-et-Vilaine department. The former presbytery dates back to the 16th century.

House Martroi-Cathédrale - Orleans (45)
A 16th-century, three-storey house, exuding understated elegance, in the historical city centre of Orléans. The house was built in the 16th century on a street next to the Orléans Cathedral. Over the years, shops, taverns and neighbourhood boutiques have been transformed into dwellings, while the street on which the house stands was one of the first streets in Orléans to be paved and pedestrianised. Today, you can park a vehicle beneath the cathedral, less than 50 metres away. As for the rectangular dwelling, which stands on the corner and is topped with a slate gable roof, it has kept its original architecture and features four storeys over a vaulted cellar. Facing east and north, its understated and partially asymmetrical exteriors are covered in plaster with ashlar stone window/door surrounds and quoins, whereas an old wooden door and rectilinear windows, in an array of sizes, fitted with colourful stained glass or small panes, cadence the first three floors of the dwelling.

House Beziers (34)
An approximately 325-m² former presbytery awaiting renovation, with an inner courtyard, in the centre of Béziers, on an esplanade. The presbytery is at the very tip of the acropolis in Béziers, to the south of the old town, outside its walls, several hundred metres from the medieval ramparts. Remains of the Roman arenas can be seen very close by. The residence is opposite a large esplanade on which plane trees provide shade, in a dominant position with uninterrupted views of the lower parts of the city, the Orb Valley and the Pyrenees on the horizon. The façade of this three-storey building, standing next to the entrance to the church, is rendered and has four low-arched openings containing a door as well as three windows on the ground floor, all made of wood, five windows on the first floor and the same number on the second floor, on which they are smaller and can be found in rectangular openings. The panelled, painted, wooden door with a fanlight window is surrounded by a moulded door frame and is topped by an entablature with a central key stone, all of which are ribbed or sculpted. It can be reached by three stone steps and has a painted metal guard-rail on either side. All the windows on the top two storeys are fitted with white-painted wooden shutters, while those on the ground floor are protected by metal railings. Light streams into the edifice’s rooms thanks to its west-facing aspect and many windows. Lastly, as is customary in the region, the roof is made of half-round tiles, which is underlined by a denticulated cornice, echoed in more sober fashion by two belt courses on the lower levels.

Manor Poitiers (86)
A manor house, two gites and outbuildings in 8 hectares of wooded grounds in a village, 30 minutes from Poitiers. A small country road runs alongside the property wall to a gate enhanced by two pillars supporting an imposing, sober iron gate. Once past the entrance, two houses appear on either side, each with its own private outdoor space, and further on, there are outbuildings. The manor house is revealed next, followed by the grounds. The main building dates back to the last years of the 18th century, the Directoire period. A wing and stairway tower were added at the beginning of the 20th century copying the original style. A bossed arch on the facade highlights the entrance, which is topped by a balcony. Pedimented dormer windows have been added to the concave Mansard roof on the manor house. The wing has a four-sided slate roof. Render has been applied to all of the facades and the corner ties and window frames are ashlar. Under the 20th century wing, there is a cellar which is accessible from the outside. The two guest houses, situated at the entrance to the estate, one with a small private courtyard and the other with a garden area, are the same style, with stone dressings and canal tile roofs.

House with pool and garden Narbonne (11)
A large, luxurious home, its guest house and its annexe buildings set in pleasant parklands in Narbonne, first daughter of Rome. Seen from above, the buildings are laid out in an L-shape. They include the main house, spanning approx. 280 m² with 8 bedrooms, an adjoining outbuilding, set out as an 80 m² guest house with 3 bedrooms, a garage and a shed. This property, just a stone’s throw from the centre of Narbonne, is kept out of sight of onlookers by approx. 4,630 m² of wooded parklands. These grounds shelter a large swimming pool, with a pool-house, and a vegetable garden. The main building spans up to four levels in the right-hand wing, giving it the appearance of a tower with a slate roof. The other buildings have tile roofs. In front of the facade, an age-old magnolia and cypress trees stand tall in Mediterranean-style parklands, enhanced with large, natural, versatile areas, bordered by immaculately trimmed hedges. An ornamental pool with aquatic plants, colonnades and Art Deco style ornaments embellish the garden. Tall entrance gates and a driveway leading from the main road are not currently used, the owners preferring to access the house via a side entrance in the parklands. Originally the holiday home of a wealthy merchant, this residence is now in the town, despite initially having been secluded, surrounded by vines and fields. Its impressive facade made it possible to conceal the wine storehouses at the back.

Castle Chalou-Moulineux (91)
A chateau with medieval origins and wooded grounds, built in the early Renaissance and nestled 1 hour and 30 minutes south-west of Paris. Once you have gone through the property’s main entrance gate, the chateau appears before you, standing out for its Renaissance style. In the inner court, the property is demarcated by the remains of a division of the chateau into two parts. Indeed, the chateau has gone through different historical periods up to the present day, apart from its western section, which has disappeared. The edifice has kept its hexagonal adjoining tower, which has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The main side of this tower is made of rubble stone with rendering and quoins of limestone ashlar. A huge door of solid wood leads inside this tower. This door is fitted in a stone surround with a slightly arched top that bears the remains of a coat of arms – a characteristic of the late 15th century. Each level of the tower has stone-mullioned cross windows. The main section is positioned to the east of the hexagonal tower. It is similar in design to the tower. The court-side elevation is coated with rendering that leaves the rubble stonework slightly exposed. The garden-side elevation is completely rendered. Limestone ashlar forms the quoins and carved limestone forms the surrounds around the doors and the many stone-mullioned cross windows that punctuate the elevations. On the court side, a conservatory lies beside the entrance door. A flight of stone steps leads up to the entrance door. Above this door, there is a basket-handle arch crowned with a finely sculpted pinnacle. In this stone arch, there is a badge-shaped remnant of a coat of arms that was once displayed proudly here. This coat of arms was doubtless that of the chateau’s founders. In the garden-facing elevation, there is another entrance door of solid wood. A basket-handle arch also crowns this door. In the north-east corner of the main section, there is a round tower. It is the only remaining tower of the chateau’s four original round towers. The stonework of this tower’s base was recently restored. The edifice is crowned with a slate roof of two long slopes, punctuated with gabled dormers. Lastly, beside the chateau, there are outbuildings along the edge of the property. The wooded grounds are enclosed with walls and fences.

House with pool and garden Michery (89)
Two houses and a garden that an artist has turned into an original haven, nestled in France’s Yonne department, 100 kilometres from Paris. The property’s current owner, an artist who produces paintings, turned this ordinary two-floor farmhouse into a unique haven. The artist sought harmony here, using their own creativity and drawing inspiration from the aesthetic qualities of fine materials and from local craftsmanship. The result is today’s highly original property. Close attention has been paid to making it unique yet coherent. The property is enclosed behind walls on a quiet street. It enjoys absolute privacy and calm. From outside, it does not suggest the originality that it hides. A large double-leaf metal gate framed between two brick pillars leads straight into a grassy garden dotted with various water features. To the left, on the south side, there is a guesthouse with a central tower capped with a pyramidal roof that is crowned with a finial. To the right, on the north side, there is the main dwelling. It is an elongated building that faces south-east. A wing protrudes at a right angle to the main section at its west end. Just behind this wing there is a bakehouse. In front of the main dwelling there is an ornamental pond. An arched bridge of old flat tiles crosses it. The bridge is edged with a metal balustrade adorned with volutes at the end. Flat Burgundy tiles are the only material common to all the buildings on the property. Beyond the ornamental pond, an archway beneath a circular opening takes you to the other side of a decorative wall of round tiles. The property’s second section lies there. A vast space extends in this second section. Its south-west corner is marked by a retreat with a slate roof and stained glass of different colours. Alongside this retreat, there is a terrace covered by a canopy of glass and metal.
