House with pool and terrace 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. The estate is connected to the electricity as well as telephone networks and also boasts potential for production of photovoltaic solar energy.

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 with pool and garden Anet (28)
An imposing modern manor in a more than 1-hectare garden, 1 hour from west Paris, on the edge of the Eure and Yvelines areas. The residence stands in the centre of the grounds at the end of a drive lined with apple trees and is made up of a central section and two perpendicular wings. The two-storey edifice is flanked by two square towers and has many windows and hipped dormers. The building has been erected around a courtyard paved with large slabs in which a heated swimming pool has been installed. The roofs are made of flat tiles, topped by enamelled ceramic finials depicting animals, which come from the renowned Normandy pottery factory in Mesnil-de-Bavent. The facades are made of field stones with Vosges sandstone door and window surrounds plus quoins, while the guttering and downpipes are made of copper. Part of the construction materials originate from the former farm that previously occupied the land: the stones, tiles and roof frame were recovered, sorted and re-purposed. The northern wing includes an approximately 100-m² barn with an automatic door. In the garden near to the riverbanks, an around 50-m² two-storey brick house is currently used as storage space.

All of the exterior woodwork is painted a bright golden yellow, contrasting with the midnight blue of the slates. Lastly, a garage of approximately 46 m², built of brick and topped with a slate roof adorned with three dormer windows, closes off the courtyard on the east side.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Lannion (22)
A 16th-century half-timbered house listed as a historic monument in the historic centre of Lannion. The residence is situated in a shopping street, within the town's old fortifications, which still include around 30 half-timbered houses. Other timber-framed houses line the street on either side, as far as the market square. The plots of land are narrow, so the architecture was designed to allow as many merchants as possible to have a storefront. The house has a slate gable roof. The three-storey building comprises a shop on the ground floor and a large three-bedroom flat on the upper floors. The slightly pronounced corbelling is anchored in granite masonry walls. The frame is wood, with vertical and horizontal sections combined with framework. The timber frames are short and mark the height of each storey. Decorations are still visible on the vertical sections at either end of the building. They are marked by a short carved wooden panel topped with a lozenge. The wood is painted ochre and red. Lastly, a large three-panel window with medium-sized panes and wooden frames allows plenty of natural light into the first two floors.

Castle Trélon (59)
A vast brick and stone mansion with a 20th-century extension, in the middle of a small town in the Hauts-de-France region, 8 km from the Belgian border. The mansion, which takes its name from a former mendicant order in Syria, was initially built as a convent. Construction work on it began in 1724 and was finished in 1729, thanks to funding obtained by the nuns from Duchess Marie-Célestine de Holstein-Rethwisch. In 1792, in the fury of the French Revolution, the outside chapel and part of the cloisters were destroyed before the buildings were rented, between 1801 and 1863, by a private owner to the local authorities to host the police services and prison. It was then purchased in 1927 by the municipality and transformed into a hospice which was officially inaugurated in 1933. In the meantime, between 1873 and 1885, it was revamped as a stately home for the Moreau de la Tour-Godard-Desmaret family. Lastly, from 1979 to 1983, as well as in 1989, the building was modernised with an extension to the south, part of which was demolished several years ago. An entrance porch with a slate roof leads into the grounds in front of the mansion to the east. The main façade, with three storeys, stands out thanks to its brick and stone settings as well as the symmetry of its central section. In the second half of the 19th century, a scroll pediment and two balconies were added to the initial construction of 1724, on the western façade. Additionally, the main section has a half hipped slate roof dotted with hipped dormers and a chimney stack. To the north, there is a wing with a square tower topped by a slate pavilion roof with a zinc ridge cap, while to the south there is a wing with a similar roof. To the west, two flights of stone steps lead down into the grounds, which spread around the mansion over approximately 7,000 m² and include lawns and copses as well as almost 1,000 m² which can be built upon.

A tarmacked lane leads to the entrance of the property whose double-leaf solid metal gates decorated with wrought-iron arabesques are electrically powered. A stone-paved driveway leads up to the house’s porch to the left and a large garage straight ahead. The villa was built in 1967 and boasts living space of approximately 370 m². It is rectangular in shape and has three storeys that embrace the terraced lie of the land. The upper level is made up of vast roof terrace with more than 150 m² of space and views of the sea. The walls of the façades are rendered in white and are dotted with large aluminium windows as well as French windows, fitted with electric roller blinds and black wrought-iron grating for the openings on the garden level. A very large glass-paned veranda adorns the southern façade, while a triangular awning protects the entrance door. There is a gigantic lounge bathed in the light that flows through the veranda on the garden level, next to a kitchen and master bedroom with en suite facilities, while four other bedrooms and related rooms are located on the lower level, all opening onto patios that lead into the garden. The grounds are made up of several terraces planted with cork oak, pine, palm, olive and fig trees. The largest terraces play host to an outside dining space with an outside oven on one, a swimming pool with decking and pool-house on another and, lastly, a relaxation area, flower beds and a fishpond for the others.

Manor Paimpol (22)
A 15th-century manor with reception rooms, 10 minutes from beaches on the Côte de Goëlo coast in northern Brittany. The property is nestled a few hundred metres from the local village in a bucolic backdrop. A solid grey gate of wrought iron leads into the grounds. It is framed between two granite pillars, one of which has an outdoor lamp fixed to it. On either side, a low wall and tall hedges give the property absolute privacy. The manor and its outhouses form a U shape. On the grounds, which cover almost one hectare, several spaces can be distinguished: there is an ornamental, tree-dotted garden embellished with flowers on the west side, a south-facing courtyard, and a car park on the east side. An annexe houses a covered swimming pool that looks out at the ornamental garden. And an events venue with a wooden floor adjoins an outhouse to form a large reception space. You enter the manor from a short driveway that leads from the wrought-iron gate. The edifice dates back to the 15th century, as a door surround upstairs and a spiral staircase indicate. The building has been redesigned several times over its long history. The year ‘1701’ is inscribed in the entrance door’s lintel. The dwelling is long and rectangular in shape. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. A gable slate roof crowns the house. The facade is made of pink rubble granite. Ashlar forms the window and door surrounds. There are many small-paned windows. The entrance door stands in a recess, beneath a rectangular window. A dormer with a triangular pediment gives character to the edifice’s west end. There is a secondary door beside a schist sundial that dates back to 1740. A cavity in the facade once formed an alcove for a dog. Opposite, there is a dome-covered well crowned with a granite cross. Pale gravel covers the courtyard. Wisteria grows up the facade.

Apartment with terrace Avignon (84)
In Avignon, on the Place Crillon, in a private mansion from the 18th century, an entirely renovated apartment of about 170 m². Nothing, except the grand classicism of the facade, indicates the private mansion. The sober choice of this architectural veneer seems to have the sole mission of highlighting the masterpiece of Thomas Lainé, the 'Ancienne Comédie'. Its facade, where a radiant head of Apollo triumphs, is adorned with four Ionic pilasters supporting a cornice with a triangular pediment and a balustrade enhanced by four vases simulating fire pots. The theatricality of the elevation imposes its law on the entire square, with this Baroque jewel being the dominant element. It often changed its purpose but always retained its luminous sculpted facade, visible directly from certain windows of the apartment. Far from being static, this architecture resembling an opera set is now enlivened by a multitude of restaurants and cafes that, with the arrival of summer, become one of the favorite refuges of festival-goers. The private mansion, fairly low, complies with the regulations that required not to exceed the height of the city walls, and consists of two stories under a crenellated roof emphasizing a tiled roof. It presents its facade in cut stone under a slightly off-white coating. Transformed since the 19th century to be used for commerce, the former porch and the entrance courtyard are now occupied by a restaurant with a terrace. The building contains only one apartment per floor, making it a small condominium. Located on the second floor, this accommodation is arranged on one side into a kitchen and a bedroom with a mezzanine, which overlook the square, and on the other side into a large living room, three other bedrooms, and three bathrooms that open to the south opposite the square with its terraces.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with garden Chilly-Mazarin (91)
A former 1850s manor house with gardens, in the Île-de-France region, 18 kilometres south of Paris. Behind an elegant entrance, made up of a wrought-iron entrance gate and pedestrian gate, a small, paved path leads to the residence and the first walled garden dotted with many types of trees, notably an American black walnut tree. With its large expanses of pink cladding and green wooden shutters, the 'Villa Rose' is emblematic of classical Parisian architecture. As for the symmetrical, two-storey façade with three vertical rows of windows and, in the centre, the moulded splay of the entrance door topped by an oculus, it owes much to the gentleness of Italian architecture. On each level and in each vertical row, there are large-paned windows with period or restored frames The other façade overlooks the second garden and possesses an entrance below a small awning. Lastly, next to the house, enclosed by adjacent fencing, there is a lean-to that has been converted into a small outbuilding.
