Mas Saint-Geniès-de-Malgoirès (30)
A traditional 19th century Gard farmhouse and vast farm outbuildings, 20 minutes from Nîmes . On the north-east side of a rectangular plot of more than 3 000 m², enclosed by stone walls and fences, there stands a vast old building with a strong rural character. The buildings are laid out in a U-shape, closed on three sides, typical of traditional southern farmhouses. This architectural arrangement, designed to provide protection from the prevailing winds and offer a private, yet functional space, is reminiscent of the farmhouses that once dotted the Gard countryside. The property is entered from the west via a wide carriage entrance flanked by former stone stables. The entrance marks the threshold to a quiet, enclosed world, far removed from any hustle and bustle. Behind the discreet entrance there is a vast, light-filled central courtyard, bordered by the three wings of the house. The walls, made of local stone and rubble with a patina finish, reveal the building's age – probably before the 19th century. Most of the windows are straight; some of them are wide and high, with pointed or basket-handle arches on the garden level. They are surrounded with ashlar. The roofs are covered with canal tiles on double-sloped wooden frames and bordered by a double cornice. They feature recesses that testify to the successive extensions and changes to the building complex over the generations. The courtyard, enhanced by the recent addition of a swimming pool, highlights the former productive function of the site while showing its transformation into an elegant living space. In the wings, which were once attics or agricultural outbuildings, a few windows let in light and mean that they can be used for other purposes. Facing due south, the main building, which captures the warmth and light of the Mediterranean, provides wide views over the interior of the property through its many windows.

House Villeneuve-sur-Lot (47)
A stately and immense 19th-century neoclassical-style dwelling, its outbuildings and 2.6-hectare grounds near Villeneuve-sur-Lot. This eye-catching property is composed of a stately manor house constructed in 1857 according to the standards in place for 19th-century manor houses. Belonging to the same family for more than six generations, from above, the dwelling, located in the middle of the property, blends in harmoniously with its surrounding tree-filled estate of 2.5 hectares, the latter of which is bordered to the north by a road and shielded from view thanks to a ring of multi-century trees. The property is accessible from a gate that opens onto a gravel drive, curving gracefully all the way to the manor’s main façade where it widens to create a formal courtyard, before circumventing the building in order to provide access to the outbuildings. With an orderly exterior cadenced by delicately sculpted vertical rows of windows and ashlar stone quoins, this rectangular three-storey main building, completely symmetrical, was constructed out of local limestone, while its main façade, facing south towards the garden, is organised around a curved double staircase, which leads to a patio safeguarded by a stone balustrade. With a barrel tile hipped roof, adorned with decorative pediments and carved stone chimneys, the main dwelling faces, to the north, a group of outbuildings that includes an ancient open-air barn, independent accommodations in need of a renovation, a chicken coop and a tobacco drying shed. Classically composed and highlighting the manor’s impressive architectural coherence, which has been carefully conserved over the centuries, the property’s verdant grounds contain a stream and a waterfall to the east, an immense meadow encircled by a walking path and a row of trees to the south, while a well bears witness to the property’s original hydraulic autonomy.

Farmhouse with pool Balma (31)
A former farm building renovated into a family house and surrounded by 6,000-m² grounds, 25 minutes to the east of Toulouse and 15 minutes from Balma. The property is accessible from a secure electric gate. The 18th-century former farm building has two storeys and is located around the bend of a dirt track. Surrounded on all sides by abundant vegetation covering over 6,000 m² of hedge-enclosed and terraced grounds, the house faces an idyllic swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in the summer months. Two outbuildings-workshops adjacent to the living space as well as the pool house and the carport, were built to the right of the main building, which also includes an extension on its left side. The colourful, yet understated, partly plastered façades are primarily in red brick, a ubiquitous material in the region, which is also used for the rectangular or drop arch window surrounds, while the roofs are mostly gabled and covered with traditional tiles. Lastly, all around the property are rolling fields that extend as far as the eye can see.

House Gerberoy (60)
In the village of Gerberoy, 1.5 hours outside of Paris, a 19th-century home and its flower garden. In the middle of this mostly pedestrian village, the property is hidden behind a fence covered in ivy, rose bushes and irises. Completely enclosed and hidden from prying eyes, a double iron gate opens onto a small brick pathway arranged in staggered rows. On the left, a small stone staircase leads to the lawn and the end of the garden; straight ahead, at the end of the pathway is the entrance to the house. The archives mention that the house was built in 1821, but the building is, undoubtedly, the result of successive extensions added onto the original building. Like a lesson in contrasts, it presents two opposing faces, with, on one side, a brick construction topped with a slate roof and, on the other, a half-timbered cob structure with a roof made of small local tiles. However, the whole remains coherent thanks to the patina of time and the identical size of all the large-pane windows protected by louvred shutters. The main entrance provides a discreet note of elegance. The top two-thirds of the door is glazed and crowned with a fanlight decorated in the antique style. Behind the house, a grassy paved courtyard leads to a garage and stables. For many years, the property was the calm oasis for Jean Tardieu who would frequently invite his writer friends here to reinvent the world.

Castle Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française (48)
A castle and its feudal keep with a 30-hectare estate in the heart of the Cévennes national park, in the south of Lozère. Formerly the stronghold of the Arnal family, who at the end of the 17th century owned most of the valley and the hamlet of Beaumelle, hence the name Arnal de la Beaumelle, the castle was burnt down in 1702 during the War of the Camisards. When it was rebuilt between 1730 and 1740, it became more residential. The keep still dominates the surrounding buildings and has a wonderful view over the valley. The complex consists of a castle resembling a feudal residence flanked by two towers, as well as a number of outbuildings destined for farming, including cowsheds, a shed for drying chestnuts and the remains of an old castle chapel. This mainly west-facing hilltop property commands the southern valley. Fed by two springs, the estate has developed over the last two centuries thanks to livestock activities and terraced crop cultivation on numerous sun-drenched terraces. At the edge of the stream, the property is completed by the ruins of an imposing mill powered by its water.

Castle Bourgoin-Jallieu (38)
A 19th century chateau with 14.5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère . This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat “beaver tail” tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.

Farmhouse Issoire (63)
In the south of Puy-de-Dôme, downhill from the village of Usson, an old restored farm, sheltered from prying eyes, and its swimming pool. Hidden behind a steel and wood gate, built following a U-shaped plan, the former farm with Mediterranean accents revolves around its inner courtyard. The main house, with thick walls, raised over two levels and topped with a two-pitched roof made of warm-toned canal tiles, typical of the region, offers about 245 m² of living space. It combines basalt stone jointed with lime and stone and tile frames.

House Benodet (29)
In Bénodet, in southern Brittany, in a marine cove, a farmhouse and its outbuildings await renovation completion. The property is partially defined by old stone walls. It consists of three distinct sets. Facing the marine cove, a stone longhouse, an old agricultural outbuilding from the 18th or 19th century, requires a complete rehabilitation. Set back at an angle from its southern gable, a two-story farmhouse dates from the early 20th century. It is extended by a contemporary addition at its gable. Interior renovations have been started but need to be completed. A large shed, built at the end of the last century, closes off the northeast corner.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Pessac-sur-Dordogne (33)
In a small village in Gironde, at the foot of the Dordogne, a medieval tower and its dwelling, with a swimming pool and outbuildings to renovate. Built of local blonde stone, the tower has a slender and simple silhouette, marked by vertical openings to let in light, with the river at its feet. Its ancient structure, with six large mullioned windows, tells the story of a territory shaped by river navigation, vineyards, and commercial exchanges. The interior of the dwelling adjacent to the tower is organized over several levels and has retained the raw character of its defensive origin: thick walls in light hues and ample, simple volumes. Each floor offers a different view of the surrounding landscape — the waters of the Dordogne, the vineyard slopes, and the stone villages that punctuate the horizon. The entire property is surrounded by more than 5 hectares of land, dotted with centenary trees.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche (78)
A dwelling, with more than 290 m² of inhabitable floor area, and its annexe, nestled within the Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche golf course, not far from Versailles. Immersed in peace and quiet within the Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche golf course, the dwelling is accessible via a tarmacked lane lined by hedges, which encircles the property and only communicates with the houses in this neighbourhood. As for the dwelling, surrounded by its garden and topped with a slate gable roof, it is located on the golf course itself, while its architecture, both pleasing and sunny, features light-colour exteriors, coated in plaster on the ground floor and covered in cladding on its upper levels. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 295 m², in addition to an annexe-workshop of nearly 40 m² and an indoor garage of 35 m², its large picture windows, punctuating its exteriors, provide its interior with ample sunlight and make it possible to admire the many trees, wooded spaces as well as the golf course’s swaths of verdant lawn, which blanket the landscape as far as the eye can see.

House Villefranche-du-Périgord (24)
In Black Périgord, a 48-hectare estate away from the world, with a master house and guest houses, a swimming pool, and a hamlet to be revived, amidst the woods. Viewed from the sky, the property reads like an old map: 48 hectares in one block, most of which is a forest of oak and chestnut trees; the remainder forms natural meadows. A fence designed to preserve the domesticated space from wildlife delineates an enclave of about 3 hectares around the buildings, accessible by a private path bordered by vegetation. The main house, in Périgord style, has about 220 m² over three levels. Its facade of local stone, covered with a steeply sloped flat tile roof, faces south and opens onto a network of terraced stone patios that follow the sloping terrain. A square turret, topped with a pointed roof, echoes the master houses, added there to elevate the status of its first occupants. The ground floor includes two living rooms and a bedroom; the second level has a bathroom and two attic bedrooms. A kitchen is situated on the lower level, with direct access to a terrace and, further on, a swimming pool. Heating is provided by an oil boiler, and the windows are single-glazed. A flower garden, carefully maintained, wraps around the buildings. Lower down, the swimming pool is surrounded by a stone terrace; its technical room is hidden in a stone borie covered with lauzes. Ascending the property, a nearly 100 m² stone barn, topped by a floor, features the peculiarity of having only three walls. Its fourth side is open, like a belvedere overlooking the surrounding countryside. Even higher, a guest house made of stone, about 100 m², is arranged as a loft. A fireplace occupies one wall. Adjacent to the main house, a garage for two vehicles is positioned; its doors face the private access road. To the east, in the forest, a hamlet of five stone buildings around a well represents the other face of the estate. This is an ancient farm to be completely renovated, whose dwelling house was occupied until a relatively recent date. The barns and outbuildings, on the other hand, have long lost their roofs.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Auxerre (89)
In Yonne, halfway between Chablis and Auxerre, a renovated 18th-century castle, its outbuildings and common areas are set within a park of over 7 hectares. The estate, which is all in one piece, covers approximately 7 hectares. It consists of meadows and wooded sections. Three accesses serve the estate, one of which leads to a parking area for the current clientele's vehicles, where accommodation and dining are offered. The castle, in a neoclassical style, is located to the south, while the outbuildings and common areas, which are more rustic in appearance, are to the north, facing each other and separated by a walled courtyard that is grassy, with shrubbery and trees. While the castle was built in the 18th century, the outbuildings date from the 19th century. The façades of the various buildings are mostly made of rubble or dressed stone and plastered, except for those of the common areas, which are made of exposed stone; the openings are predominantly straight or have a low arc, with their frames in brick or dressed stone; finally, the roofs, punctuated with dormers, skylights, and chimney stacks, are almost all covered in flat tiles from the region, or slates for three slopes that cover the castle, in various shapes. The castle dwelling, with its two levels under the eaves, and the three other habitable outbuildings (formerly a dovecote, longhouse, and farm), each raised by one floor, underwent a complete renovation in the 2010s.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Avallon (89)
A former priory from the 13th century, listed as a historical monument and nestled in the Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. Saint-Jean-des-Bonshommes priory was a monastery that was part of the Order of Grandmont. It was built at the start of the 13th century where an antique sanctuary once stood. Anséric VI, Seigneur of Montréal, ordered construction of the edifice. The monastery underwent the French Wars of Religion in the 16th century. And in 1772, when Pope Clement XIV disbanded the Order of Grandmont, it was made available to the diocesan archbishop. Following the French Revolution, the monastery was sold as national property in 1791 and became a family property up to 1846 when it was damaged by a fire that destroyed most of the monastic buildings. The church, however, survived this fire. In 1880, it became a source of stones as building material, rather like an open quarry. Moved by this fate, a learned society acquired the edifice in 1905, requested that it be listed as a historical monument and set about restoring the edifice. The remaining church is characteristic of the architectural principles of the Order of Grandmont. It is the most imposing edifice in this monastic complex. It has a plain elevation without a door, a single nave and a closed chancel, beneath a brick barrel vault that stretches to a half-dome above an apse with three windows. The chapel’s elevations are made of different stones. The lower ones, evenly sized, are neatly carved blocks and the upper ones, raw rubble stones, lie where the vault rises up. The apse is ornamented outside with four elegant built-in columns. The remains of the monastic buildings have been preserved, including the cloister arches, the elegant arcades of the chapterhouse and part of the walls of the pantries and refectory. The church has a roof of barrel ties, with conical tiles for the apse, made in a local tile factory.

The house is rectangular in shape and has a slate gable roof. The façade, which is rendered in light grey and features fourteen windows set at regular intervals, each set off by a granite frame. A wide pavement separates the house from the street. The main entrance door, which is solid wood, is topped by a glass transom decorated with five lozenges, a beautiful final touch. On the right, a second carriage entrance, with a basket-handle arch, enhances the looks of the façade. An old wooden door which has recently been faithfully restored to its original design, opens onto a porch that runs along the building. The floor, which has been recently remade, is decorated with a central span of dark grey pebbles. Access to a separate flat is here, after climbing a few steps. The house faces west on the garden side. The outbuilding, one wing of which has been converted into a fully-equipped summer kitchen, faces the house. On this side, the house's exterior is in granite rubble and ashlar with wooden window frames. There are two balconies on the first floor, which is on the ground floor on the street side. The garden level adds to the already substantial living space. The outdoor spaces, planted with trees and flowers, slope gently down to the river. One of the town's 50 historic wash-houses, built on the water's edge, marks the property boundary, which is in the middle of the River Trieux.

It has been designed as a family home, with six bedrooms ready to welcome new occupants, large west-facing windows and a vast reception room that opens onto the garden. There are three cellars in the hill slope and a flight of steps leads to a wooded area at its summit.
