House Bagnoles-de-l'Orne (61)
An 18th-century former hamlet and its breath-taking garden of more than one hectare, on the outskirts of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, in Normandy’s Orne department. This former hamlet, refurbished and combined into one single property, is accessible via a dirt lane bordered by an apple orchard, while the buildings themselves are organised around an asymmetrical courtyard and include a large main dwelling, composed of several different, seamlessly connected volumes, a second, smaller dwelling, which could be used as a holiday cottage or a guesthouse, a bakehouse and a former pigsty. Facing east-west, the two-storey main dwelling features a pointed stone exterior on its courtyard side, which is, in turn, cadenced by wood-framed windows as well as dormers on its red tile roof. Behind, on the house’s western side, glass double doors open on to a patio festooned with a grapevine as well as a garden planted with trees, providing unobstructed views overlooking a stream, the latter of which is traversable via a small bridge and winds its way through the garden, flowing over small waterfalls and irrigating aquatic vegetation, such as horsetails and reeds. To the north of the courtyard, the bakehouse and pigsty, today converted into annexes with more practical uses, have preserved their original charm with their stone walls and tile roofs, while the independent holiday cottage, facing south, features a lintel etched with the year 1778 and is accessible from one side via a flight of steps blanketed with nasturtiums. Built out of stone, its exteriors, punctuated by windows providing plunging views of the property, are also topped with a flat tile roof.

House La Chartre-sur-le-Loir (72)
Close to La Chartre-sur-le-Loir, in a dominant position, a classified neo-Gothic castle with nearly 5 hectares of park, meadows, and woods. At the edge of the Bercé state forest and at the exit of a picturesque village with shops, the estate is set back and not overlooked, enclosed by old walls with gates or hedges. The property is organized around its castle, set on the slope of a hill, at the center of a park that mixes meadows, AOC lands, and woods. Built between 1908 and 1913 and classified MH since 1984, the residence is emblematic of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, which was once very popular among the aristocracy and the upper bourgeoisie. With an area of approximately 275 m², it has four levels including a ground floor and an attic. The slate roofs are punctuated by numerous dormer windows. The cornices, corner chains, dormer windows, and window frames are made of tuffeau. To the east and west, stone staircases with railings lead to an entrance hall and a kitchen.

A pepperpot turret, suspended on molded corbels, flanks the residence, topped with a slate extinguishing cap. Wide stone mullioned windows punctuate the ground floor, while on the first floor, paired windows are set under their delicately sculpted pointed arches.

House Deauville (14)
A historical residence, with an outbuilding and a landscaped garden, in the upper reaches of Deauville, overlooking the town and the sea. The property stands on the slopes of historical Deauville, in the former village of Dosville dating from the 12th century. It can be reached via a slightly winding, wooded road leading up to a discrete gate. From there, a drive lined with Portugal laurels and cypress trees leads to a parking area before reaching the garden tucked away behind a wall of foliage. The former presbytery, whose architecture has evolved over the centuries, stands at the end of the garden, slightly lower down. It was erected in the 12th century and displays remarkable architectural continuity: successive transformations and additions have enhanced its standing without altering its harmony. The main residence is south-facing and has an elongated shape, topped with a gabled roof made of flat tiles, punctuated by hipped dormer windows and tall brick chimney stacks characteristic of old buildings in the Pays d’Auge sector. The walls made of bright, light-yellow rubble stone, pointed with lime, strike a contrast with the old, dark-coloured carved wooden doors. At the right-hand end of the house, there is a glazed veranda with views over Deauville and the sea on one side and the curate’s garden on the other. The left-hand end is made up of the 18th-century chapel that today houses a spacious living room adjacent to the rest of the building. A half-timbered protruding section topped by a triangular gable stands out from the main façade and overhangs a wooden balcony that can be reached via a both picturesque and functional external flight of steps. The blue shutters, climbing plants and flowerbeds soften the stringency of the residence, allowing the edifice to blend into its environment. The property is enclosed and protected by hedges and buildings: to the left, an 18th-century stone outbuilding runs alongside the street, while to the right, another outbuilding separates it from neighbouring houses.

The central dwelling is two storeys high and topped with three large chimneys. The slate roof is gabled and has two sculpted dormer windows. The building is connected to a round tower topped by a dovecote, which houses a spiral staircase. The façades are built out of granite rubble stone and are entirely lime pointed.

House with pool Cahors (46)
An urban chateau dating back to 1930 with an outhouse, a swimming pool and tree-dotted grounds, nestled by the town of Cahors in south-west France, in the country's Lot department. The property’s entrance is at the top of a hill that looks down at a shopping zone of Cahors. The chateau was built upon a hill. The plot’s outer retaining wall, with its remarkable height and strength, is impressive. A former water tower made of brick welcomes visitors like a sentry positioned at the edge of the plot. A drive leads downwards and a meadow of horses extends on the other side of it. Beyond a long bend and the first trees, an esplanade, used for parking, comes into view. Across its gravelled ground, you can easily reach the stone terraces that surround the chateau. The chateau was built in 1930 in a style that recalls the elegance and harmony of classical French architecture. It offers a floor area of 455m². With its pure-white elevations and the perfect symmetry of its south-facing facade that looks out at the tree-dotted grounds, which cover over a hectare, the edifice seems to have been taken straight out of a picture book. Natural light shines through age-old trees with effects that vary from season to season. Bucolic views from each window in the dwelling embrace these majestic trees. On the grounds, there is a swimming pool and an elegant outhouse that could be turned into a workshop, a guesthouse or a garage.

House with pool Beaune (21)
A 17th-century group of buildings, with commercial and artisanal potential, with a swimming pool and gardens, along the banks of a river in Burgundy, near Beaune. The property is located along the main road that goes through the village, close to the old railway line connecting Dijon and Epinac. With an understated southern façade in exposed stone, the main building has five windows on the ground floor and six on the first. Dating in part from 1635, this building has undergone many changes over the centuries, the vestiges of which can be traced in the stones of its façade. At a right angle, a wide carriage door in dark-stained wood, framed by ashlar stone, marks the entrance to the property alongside a small pedestrian door. Past the covered entranceway, the view of all the buildings, completely surrounding a vast gravel courtyard, is interrupted on the left by a Burgundy stone patio and a green space at the foot of a building with three buttresses, typical of a tithe barn from the 13th century. In turns, a chapterhouse under the authority of the Bishop of Autun, the entrance to the hamlet under the protection of an emancipation charter, guaranteeing free trade, and the fiefdom of the Archers Brotherhood, the property once hosted travellers having paid the fee to cross the river, the current of which was once much more difficult to forge. During the Revolution, the property was transformed into a coaching inn, taking advantage of its dovecote, stables, wells and bakehouse. The first phone booth in the village was installed on this property before a restaurant and then a bed and breakfast were opened here. Past the covered entranceway, on the left side of the property, a farmhouse in pointed exposed stone is made up of two adjacent buildings of different heights. Its entrance is marked by a stone doorstep, which leads to a discreet front door, framed by ashlar stone and topped with a climbing rosebush. A stone patio, bordered by a flowerbed and defined by a low stone wall with several openings, provides a pleasant space to sit and relax right next to the kitchen, dining room and living room. On the north side, a wall separates the garden beyond and provides direct pedestrian access to the vegetable garden and the building called “La reserve du Père Grivot” or “Father Grivot’s Storehouse”. A little further on, a former communal washhouse borders the property before making way for the river that runs alongside the garden.

House Salon-de-Provence (13)
In the center of Salon-de-Provence, surrounded by a park of about 2000 m², a 19th-century master house of 500 m² has been renovated into offices and apartments. Built at the turn of the 20th century, during the period when prosperity linked to the trade of oil and soap was creating a new local elite, the house reflects the architectural movement that saw the birth of villas and private hotels designed to showcase social success. Here, as is often the case in expanding neighborhoods, the architecture draws from an eclectic vocabulary inspired by the catalogs of the time, balancing classical rigor with selected ornaments to affirm status. The land of more than 2000 m² is composed of two parts. Below, the space is grassed and dotted with tall trees. Above, the house is surrounded by numerous plane trees at the foot of which gravel parking areas have been created. The Craponne canal runs alongside the plot and can easily be connected to the whole. Access is provided at this level through a gate, from a small road connected to one of the city’s main roads or by a gate located at the bottom in the grassy area. The imposing main building, raised over three levels with a rectangular plan, offers about 450 m² of living space. Its elevated ground floor is complemented by two outbuildings of about 30 m² each. A recent renovation has allowed for the reallocation of the entire property as a public establishment (ERP). The intervention was carried out with the aim of preserving the architectural integrity while meeting contemporary safety and accessibility requirements. The interior layout has been rethought to facilitate the modularity of spaces for the installation of offices, training rooms, and consultation rooms. At the same time, the thermal envelope has been improved, notably through the installation of a heating/cooling floor and the integration of double glazing in large-pane wooden joinery, to ensure comfort in all seasons.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Valence (26)
In the center of the capital of Drôme, surrounded by a 4-hectare park, there is a château from the early 20th century classified as a historic monument, in Art Nouveau style. The building was constructed in the early 20th century at the request of Alfred Gayet, a mining engineer, inventor of the gold extraction and enrichment process. To carry out this work, he was joined by the renowned architect Pierre Blein, with contributions from painter Guillermin, glassmaker Thomas, decorator Boulanger, as well as landscape architects Luizet and Barret. The construction of the main house and its various outbuildings (the caretaker's house, service buildings, dovecote, and hydroelectric plant), as well as the landscaping of the park, was carried out between 1900 and 1904 under Blein's direction. The château was adorned with elements of the Art Nouveau style: remarkable painted decorations by Guillermin and Mangier, stained glass from Thomas's workshop, as well as ceramics from Boulanger and Villeroy & Bosch. The residence, with its ashlar stone facades and tile roofs, consists of a central body and two wings at right angles, with the right wing being formed by a rotunda and the left by a square tower. It has four levels including one basement, with multiple cellars, and about twenty rooms distributed among the three habitable levels: a large vestibule, two living rooms, game or reading rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, and other utility spaces on the ground floor; a vast hall, five bedrooms, and four bathrooms on the first floor; a spacious rotunda, four service rooms, and five attics, one of which is convertible, on the second floor. The landscaped park, embellished with animal sculptures, extends over 4.3 hectares and includes a pond. Originally, canals were fed by the Epervière river and led to a series of pools designed using the 'rock work' method. It should be noted that the elements protected as historic monuments include the entire residence (interior and exterior), the park, the outbuildings, the caretaker's house, the disused factory building, and the dovecote.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Gap (05)
A characterful house with a cosy garden, in the shade of a tower, overlooking Gap, in a wooded and peaceful environment with mountain views. A small country road leads to the house, which is tucked away from prying eyes behind tall fir and evergreen oak trees, yet enjoys a dominating position. From the road, only the east and west facing façades are visible. A carefully concreted private drive leads to outside parking spaces and the entrance to the garage, whose wide, semi-circular arched door enhances the architectural character of the property. A flight of steps leads to the stoop. The hipped-roofed, emblematic tower of the residence, which resembles a family manor, stands on one side. The light-coloured façades, roofs made of brown, local, flat tiles and the well-balanced volumes reinforce the house’s traditional appearance. The rest of the building is topped by a gabled roof with markedly protruding eaves. On the southwest façade, up which climbs a flight of steps lined with a guard-rail made of balusters, the main entrance door can be found, framed by a finely crafted, semi-circular stone arch. A garden with generous foliage stretches alongside the southeast façade. White oak, fir and pine trees outline its contours, while a small wall to the south marks the boundary. The garden is an invitation for pleasant meals in the shade of the trees, or simply for rest and relaxation. A white-painted wrought iron pavilion in the centre of the garden protects a stone statue. Opposite the main garden, the south façade possesses a second, more discrete entrance, framed by a stone arch similar to the main entrance. Higher up behind the house, there is a private wood that can be reached by a flight of steps framed by two columns.

Castle Brive-la-Gaillarde (19)
A 15th-century chateau, its outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool, surrounded by 21 hectares of unoccupied land, along the outskirts of the Quercy region, twenty minutes from Brive-la-Gaillarde. In the 14th century, the lands owned by the de Chabannes family were transferred to Adhémar d’Aigrefeuille, Baron of Gramat, before the de Muzac family, whose patriarch was the King of France’s sergeant-at-arms, took possession of the estate in the next century, pledging his allegiance to the Viscount of Turenne in the process. Through marriages and successive inheritances, the fiefdom was then passed down to the de Tournier family of Corrèze, followed by that of the de Materre de Chauffour family, which owned it until 1870. Left abandoned for nearly a century, the dwelling was given a new life in 1966 when a painter and his wife bought the chateau, nearly in ruins, and undertook a large-scale restoration. From the wrought-iron gate, which indicates the estate’s formal entrance, a gravel lane traverses a large swath of lawn and leads to the property’s upper patio, the latter of which skirts the southeast exterior of the oldest of the three dwellings. Faithful to the origin of its name, the dwelling is made up of two adjacent edifices, which hug the land’s natural slope: the older of the two is located above the more recent construction, whereas the two wings are partially connected via a third dwelling abutting a square tower-dovecote. The upper edifice, from the late 15th century, is made up of a rectangular structure, the western part of which was completely reassembled with original materials recovered from the rubble after 1945, while a stately hexagonal tower, with a lauze slate tile roof, juts forward into the courtyard. In addition, mullioned windows, including two corner ones behind the dwelling, cadence its exteriors, whereas, in the interior corner of the second building, in all likelihood built in the late 17th century, a circular tower, completely rebuilt in 2025, is topped with a lauze slate roof. This same dwelling also features a balcony with balusters, supported by a basket-handle arch, while a series of dormers, crowned with finials, punctate the various rooftops – long, conical, pavilion and hipped – that have been deftly blended together. Lastly, slate and barrel tiles as well as tall chimneys, gracefully coiffed, create an overall aesthetic and aerial composition, whereas the outbuildings – a Limousin-style barn and a former hunting lodge – provide the finishing touches for this remarkable and historical estate.

House with garden Saint-Malo (35)
A 19th-century family residence, with an annex and outbuildings in more than 2 hectares of grounds, 20 minutes from the Côte d’Émeraude coastline, in the countryside. Set back from a B road, a country road winds through a hamlet before arriving at a farm track. This old farmhouse stands in the centre of a more than 2.5-hectare wooded estate. The main residence, built with rough-hewn blocks of granite, dates from the 19th century and was erected upon the vestiges of and using the materials from a former manor, of which a dovecote remains. The quoins on the door and window frames as well as the lintels are made of dressed granite blocks. The house boasts two storeys with an attic level above part of them. The front façade is punctuated by classically, almost symmetrically arranged windows, aligned in three vertical rows over two levels. There are three entrance doors into the ground floor, framed by three windows, one of which is panoramic. Three windows punctuate the first floor beneath a gabled roof, in which there are two wall dormers and a skylight. The windows boast views over the landscaped garden, the woods and surrounding nature. A former estate keeper’s house is also made of rough-hewn granite blocks and is topped with a slate roof. Next to it, there is a second outbuilding. A monumental picture window looks from it towards the façade of the main residence. The old dovecote has been transformed into a storeroom. The farm also includes former pigsties which are now used as a log store, while an old stone wall denotes the presence of a former bread oven, now in ruins. The garden has been organised into different zones, surrounded by meadows and woods.

House with pool Sainte-Croix-Volvestre (09)
A manor house, outbuildings and swimming pool in a luminous clearing surrounded by 10 hectares of royal forest, 50 minutes from Toulouse . Invisible from the road, you discover the house when you turn a bend in a woodland path. It is sheltered behind a green wall of Scots pines, limes, ancient oaks, ferns and peaceful clearings. As if set down inside a bubble of greenery, it forms a discreet, almost secret unit with its outbuildings, swimming pool, pond and driveways, enveloped in more than 10 hectares of landscaped parkland and ancient forest. Most of the buildings have stone walls, some of which are rendered, and gable roofs with interlocking tiles. The three-storey residence, with almost 650 m² of living space, was probably built at the end of the 19th century and has been patiently restored after a period of neglect. Each stage of the work was guided by meticulous restoration of the original features: the old fireplaces, the oak or chestnut parquet flooring, the moulded ceilings, the stone window and door frames and the floors have been preserved or restored, with respect for the building. All of the utilities have been renewed: drainage, rainwater, pipes, electricity and heating. The main roof has been remodelled, and the roof of the annexe has been refitted. A stone pond and a fountain form a peaceful focal point around the house. The swimming pool is set nearby in a landscaped clearing, like a natural extension of the house, not far from a natural pool fed by a spring. There is also a well adjacent to the outbuildings, which still contains water. The overall effect is one of harmonious sobriety, typical of country manor houses, where practicality meets elegance. The top floor of the house, which is preserved in its original state and insulated under the rafters, offers huge conversion potential.
