Apartment Paris 8ᵗʰ (75)
A house reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties with period decorations on a discreet street, between Parc Monceau and Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. Through the heavy wrought iron gate, the entrance hall boasts a striking 3.90 metre high cross-vaulted ceiling. The floor is laid with diagonal marble tiles forming black and cream diamonds. The entrance hall with its succession of arched windows, one of which is equipped with a double-glazed door, also provides access to the other two levels of the property. The lower level comprises a gym with a shower room and sauna on one side; on the other, a lounge, a boiler room and a cellar. The upper level is accessed from the entrance via a majestic marble staircase with a masonry balustrade topped by Art-Deco style wrought ironwork supporting the handrail. On the main floor, on the left, the lounge is illuminated by three large arched windows overlooking the garden. The walls are clad with solid oak panelling, vertically punctuated by leaning columns with sculpted capitals. The floors are of solid parquet. At 4.60 metres from the floor, the ceiling features a stepped perimeter cornice and indirect lighting. Opposite the entrance, the stone fireplace accentuates the axis of the room and display cabinets are positioned on either side. On the other side of the room, the kitchen is partly open to the dining room and its large window overlooking the street. A corridor serves the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and two other bedrooms, each with its own tiled shower room. A toilet is also accessed from the corridor. This level can also be reached from the communal areas of the building, through another door. An independent studio flat on three levels is accessed from the entrance: On the ground floor, the kitchen opens onto a living room and a wooden staircase leads up to a mezzanine with a sleeping area. A second concrete staircase leads to the lower level. An intermediate landing serves the lavatory. A few steps further down is a bedroom with a window and a bathroom at the back. The property includes part of a commercial property.

Manor Laval (53)
A 17th century manor house and its 25 ha estate on the banks of the Mayenne.

A courtyard and two formal rectangular gardens face the manor house to the south. To the east flows the river Mayenne. To the west, the wooded hillside gently slopes down. To the north, there are a technical building and a garage, farm buildings, a stream, woodlands and ponds. The property is unoverlooked.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Les Portes-en-Ré (17)
A contemporary Ile-de-Ré villa, of more than 300 m², with a swimming pool and a fitness room on the outskirts of Les Portes-en-Ré. Behind a long white wall, the property is accessible via a gate that opens on to a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door provides access to a large covered, open-air structure, which gives on to the property. From here, an initial garden is planted with bamboo, palm trees, grasses and Mediterranean plants, whereas, past this verdant space, the dwelling, separated into different spaces arranged around multiple patios, gradually reveals itself in the style of traditional Ile-de-Ré houses. Historically, these dwellings often resulted from progressively grouping together buildings linked to salt manufacturing or winemaking, and these homes, salt warehouses or former wine storehouses were then connected via courtyards protected from the wind. This property echoes this rationale, but with a more contemporary spin, with its lime-plastered exteriors, dark shutters and barrel tile roofs, which repeat the island’s architectural codes, while its wide sliding glass doors create a fluid relationship with its exteriors. From its overall proportions to its interior layout, the entire project was conceived by the architect Jeanne Dumont, whereas the materials used throughout confirms the dwelling’s affluent, but understated character: black brick floors on the ground level, narrow-plank oak parquet floors upstairs, finely-crafted woodwork, wood-panelled ceilings and a variety of custom-made furniture.

House with pool and garden Volterra (Italy)
Near Volterra, a stone house with 15 hectares of land planted with olive trees, a panoramic swimming pool and a natural cave. A rare balance between preserved agricultural heritage and a strong contemporary presence. The casale offers generous spaces, with the ground floor featuring shops, cellars and service rooms awaiting a new lease of life, while upstairs, three independent apartments are arranged around a bright shared living room. The 15,000 m² of land with century-old olive trees, towering cypresses and views of the Volterrane hills structure the landscape. A property that combines Tuscan authenticity and multiple possibilities in an area where history and art intertwine beautifully, far from tourist standardisation.

House with garden Reims (51)
A 17th-century stone residence, with a garden boasting panoramic views of the vines, in the Champagne vineyards, half an hour to the west of Reims. The residence is in the peace and quiet of the upper part of the village, far from the main road below that runs through the village, at the corner of a small street and the square on which a 12th-century Romanesque church stands. It stood against the walls of the feudal castle which has virtually disappeared today, though a watchtower and some remains of walls give it the impression of somewhat being a fortress. The entrance to the entirely walled, tree-lined and flowery garden is via a gate near to the gable end facing the street. There is an outbuilding at the bottom of the garden behind which there is a lawn where an old well stands. The residence is currently run as a holiday let that can be rented in its entirety for ten people or split into two, to welcome groups of six and four people, thanks to two separate entrances, from the square and from the garden.

Property with pool and garden Agen (47)
A restored 18th-century residence with outbuildings, on 11 hectares of land, like a Provence fortified village, near Agen. A limestone track branches off from a country road and leads on for approximately 150 metres, lined on one side by overhanging crags and on the other by alternating dense foliage as well as meadows below. The narrow, one-way lane splits as it reaches the buildings, with one leading to the residence, while the other curves round to rejoin the road further on. The entrance to the property is marked by a first wrought iron gate, while a second, more imposing, 18th-century one welcomes the visitor opposite the house’s enclosed courtyard. The main façade can be seen behind a small wall topped with wrought iron railings. The two-storey residence is made with ashlar and has been rendered with lime on the southern wing. The hipped roof made of Romanesque tiles is underlined by a double or even triple genoise corbel as well as rainwater gutters. The arrangement on each level of an odd number of windows is symmetrical in its positioning: the ground floor is bathed in light through wide, small-paned windows, while the first floor is dotted with half-moon windows. The window frames are underlined in ochre-coloured tones and fitted with grey painted wooden shutters, providing discrete sophistication to the building as a whole. The main section forms an L-shape with the west wing and boasts a sober and elegant façade at the end of the courtyard. On the ground floor, two windows flank the period, solid wood, 18th-century entrance door. The outbuildings can be found to the east. Over the last twenty years, the current occupants have graced the estate with abundant vegetation that has shaped its character. Following a southern French spirit, Provence cypress, olive, pittosporum and other evergreen trees seem to have belonged to the landscape since time immemorial. They combine with ponds, fountains, statues and other garden ornaments as well as stone walls. A swimming pool has been harmoniously incorporated into the garden.

House with pool and garden Auxerre (89)
An 18th century listed private mansion, wooded parkland, lodges and outbuildings, in the historic centre of a Burgundy town. The private mansion stands in a tree-lined square. A double carriage entrance opens onto a paved passageway covered with an antique carpet. The passageway leads to an inner courtyard, flanked by the two wings of the main dwelling and enclosed by an elegant listed wrought iron gate leading to the parkland. Planted with trees and flowers, it is criss-crossed by well-designed paths lined with stone benches and ancient statues, hidden in the lush vegetation. A stone well backs onto the property, which also boasts a heated swimming pool and two lodges with restored facades. Slightly set back, a timber-framed house and its greenhouse were once the caretaker's lodge.

House with pool and garden Saint-Gaudens (31)
A large elegant house from the early 19th century with grounds & a swimming pool, one hour from Toulouse and ski slopes, in the town of Saint-Gaudens. Accessible from the street via a large gate, which opens onto a small drive, the manor house, built in 1870, has either two or three storeys, depending on its various volumes, and is topped with single-pitch, gable, three-sided and hipped slate rooftops. Built out of ashlar stone and covered in ochre-colour plaster, three rectangular sections or foreparts, as well as a square tower, make up the asymmetrical and elegant building, the various features of which recall the Gothic Revival style. With an exterior designed in such a way as to provide the dwelling with both its character and identity, its light-colour ashlar stone pilasters with smooth rusticated stonework and sharp corners accentuate its various angles. The house’s colourful friezes with geometric patterns in blue, red and cream, crenels and stone or zinc mouldings along the cornice, wraparound stringcourses as well as the roofs’ projecting eaves, all contribute to the building’s overall elegant appearance and characteristic ornamental grace. The pinkish ochre of its exterior walls highlights all of its decorative elements, while the plain stone or beige-colour plaster-coated window and door surrounds, corners, foundation and stringcourses showcase the structure of the architecture’s volumes. The manor’s large-paned windows and doors, mainly rectangular in shape, have flat or moulded surrounds, some of which are highlighted by a windowsill, an entablature, fanlights or a balcony with a stone guardrail for those facing south, while the tower, with mostly rounded or dropped arch windows, is illuminated by triple windows on each side of its top floor. In addition, a round oculus crowns the manor’s central second-floor window to the south and an arched window overlooks the rectangular glass doors that open onto the first-floor patio facing east.

Listed castle Avignon (84)
The 'Mas de la Brune', a listed, Renaissance-style gem, its 4 ha of parklands and its gardens at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in Eygalières. At the end of a row of two-hundred-year-old horse chestnut trees, three interconnected constructions comprise the buildings on this predominantly wooded, 4-ha property. The first is the Renaissance-style manor house, known as the 'Mas de la Brune', constructed in 1572; the only building of this type, standing in the middle of the land, rising up like a nave, proudly showing visitors the prow of its watch-turret. Directly adjoining the manor, a more recent construction dating from the 18th century stands in the shade of a three-hundred-year-old lime tree. This building once housed the staff accommodation. And lastly, on the east side, where a perimeter wall no doubt once existed, a rehabilitated farmhouse is separated from the manor by a row of cypress trees. Opening on to a vast courtyard that extends behind the French formal garden, it acts as a link with the rest of the parklands, where the permanent singing of the precious water, coming down from the Alpilles Mountains via the canal of the same name, can be heard. The French Historic Monument listing, dating from the 9 August 1924, applies solely to the 'Mas de la Brune', already showing on Cassini’s 18th century map under the name of 'Grand Mas'. Some say it was constructed for the consul Pierre-Bruno-Isnard, who gave it the feminine version of his surname, whilst others maintain it was for an alchemist, whose name is long forgotten. In both cases, this outstanding building, entirely constructed from Baux stone, was probably built by master mason, Gaston-Flayelle, native of the Vivarais region, who also designed the 'Hôtel de Manville' in Les-Baux-de-Provence. The size of the manor house, its biblical paraphrases sculpted on the façade, like a big open book, and including the secret number of steps of its spiral stairway tend to reinforce the hypothesis of an alchemist’s home. A spacious tiled swimming pool, cleverly concealed from onlookers in a copse of laurel bushes, has been installed a good distance from the main house. And lastly, a carpark, out of sight of the manor but able to take ten or so cars, has been laid out in the shade of mulberry plane trees.

House with garden Semur-en-Auxois (21)
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. The townhouse has a classic, sober architectural style and faces north-east/south-west. Its front facade is harmoniously punctuated by fourteen windows arranged in seven bays. The slate mansard-style gambrel roof has two dormer windows, each crowned with an arched pediment featuring a high-relief male or female head. This is how those who may have been the residence's first inhabitants now watch over it. A double flight of approach stairs leads up to the main door. The sober doorway features a simple rusticated surround topped by an eyebrow lintel. This is the only entrance to the building on the street side.

The property is situated at the foot of the cathedral in the heart of the historic district of Autun, the upper town. A former canon's residence, built on thousand-year-old foundations, it seems to date mainly from the 15th century, with numerous subsequent alterations linked to the development of the town. Today, it is accessed via an archway in a discreet cul-de-sac, which opens onto a courtyard leading to the house.

House with garden Nantes (44)
Saint-Felix district, an old hunting lodge from the 18th century. Built in 1752, the house originally belonged to the Château de la Haute-Forêt, now gone. The garden-side façade is organized around a slightly protruding and rounded central body, topped with a rotunda crowned by a slate apse. 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 is pierced with three large bays, each preceded by a balcony with a wrought-iron railing. The symmetrical composition and proportions reflect the 18th-century taste for classical balance and light. Raised with two levels in the attic, the house includes five bedrooms and three shower rooms, for a living area of approximately 190 m². The garden, of nearly 2000 m², once integrated a much larger estate, consisting of vines and woods down to the banks of the Erdre. The outbuildings have been reinvented over time; the former stables have been transformed into living space and adjoin 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.

Manor Moulins (03)
A genuine manor house, surrounded by grounds of nearly three hectares, 2.5 hours from Paris, in the Nivernais region. A country road, lined with several traditional farms, traverses immense meadows populated with Charolaise beef cattle, before the property slowly starts to come into view: a British-inspired manor surrounded by grounds planted with ancient trees. A gravel area skirts the building and provides parking for several vehicles, while, not far off, an elongated outbuilding faces a well with its wheel. In addition, to the south, the grounds contain a swimming pool and its machine room, whereas several Medici vases mark the entrance to this impressive dwelling. Constructed entirely over a basement level, the three-storey manor’s exteriors feature a polychrome brick and stone composition, cadenced by many large-paned windows topped with stone lintels, while two balconies provide eye-catching architectural elements for its main façade: the first showcases the manor’s front door and is extended by a stone staircase, safeguarded by an ornate bannister with a scroll pattern, the motif of which is then repeated on the upper balcony’s guardrails. With brick and stone quoins and window/door surrounds, the dwelling also boasts a tower, highlighting the edifice’s verticality, which has preserved its brick quoins as well as its horizontal stringcourses indicating its different floors. As for the tower’s upper level, it is clad in regional bricks and punctuated by windows topped with small glazed fanlights, while the manor’s slate roof, hipped over the tower, but gabled everywhere else, has been completely redone and is punctuated by gable dormers with triangular pediments.

Property with garden Colmar (68)
A late-19th-century Alsatian brewery converted into apartments, nestled in a residential district of Colmar, opposite the city’s train station. The property lies on a corner where two roads meet. Wrought-iron railings with a vehicle gate and a pedestrian gate demarcate the plot. The vehicle gate leads into a central courtyard. On one side, this court takes you to the main entrance door leading into the former brewery. On the other side, there is an old outbuilding that has been turned into two garages and has a parking space too. The former brewery was built in 1885. Later, in 1903 and then in 1924, it was extended. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The edifice is divided into seven dwellings, all of which are currently rented out. The three main elevations of the L-shaped building face east, south-east and south. They are made of rubble stone and coated with pink rendering. These elevations are organised into two or three bays each with windows set in sandstone surrounds. On all the floors, these windows are rectangular, expect for four of them on the ground floor that are broad and arched. The edifice is crowned with a two-slope roof of flat tiles. Five windows in the different gable walls and seven roof windows bring natural light into the two apartments in the roof space. A private garden dotted with trees is paired with the large apartment on the ground floor and lies between the building at the street Rue du Tir.

Castle Valence D Agen (82)
A castle of medieval origin to be restored, in a dominant position, with a terrace, gardens, outbuildings and land in the southern Quercy Blanc sector. A wide gate with slender railings framed by two square, white stone columns mark the entrance to the estate. A lane lined on one side by cedars leads up through the castle’s grounds, winding between the first outbuildings: to the left, a barn and to the right a multi-purpose livestock building. Once past them, the three-storey, north-south oriented, former fortress appears, built on a rock at the top of a hillside. It is adorned with a staircase tower containing a spiral staircase and is topped by a dovecote. Its facades, steeped in its history whose traces date back to the 11th century, are mainly made of stone interspersed with bricks and are regularly punctuated by primarily rectangular windows beneath a hipped roof made of barrel tiles. It is surrounded by partially enclosed gardens and, to the south, by a lawned and tree-lined terrace. Lastly, behind the second outbuilding, an agricultural storage building completes the property’s edifices.

House with garden and terrace 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.
