    Castle La Réole (33)

    An estate to be restored, with outbuildings and 4.5 hectares of meadows and vines, 45 minutes from Bordeaux, on the outskirts of a village in the Gironde area. The estate is located in the heights of the village of which it is part, near to a street that runs past it. However, it is sufficiently far from any form of noise pollution. An earthen drive running past an hedge of hornbeams leads directly to it. The property is not fenced or walled, which would be superfluous, given the location set back from the road, the natural protective screen formed by the vineyards as well as the peace and quiet of the area. It is located in a semi-rural area, on mainly flat land, as is the case for the surrounding villages, standing between the Garonne River and its canal. This massive and noble stone residence with a tiled roof can be seen from the road, partially hidden by the estate’s rows of vines. It is made up of a rectangular main building with an adjoining, one-storey outbuilding set at a right angle to it, to the right-hand side of the house, on the eastern side, which is used as a store and a garage. Opposite, a hut houses the water pumping system, very near to the well. The grounds, including several hundred-year-old trees and notably a cedar planted in 1875 as well as copses of more recently planted shrubs, is made up of lawns stretching from the walls of the house to the vines to the northeastern side of the property. They account for approximately a third of the 4.3-hectare estate. The rest is made up of two plots of cultivated vines, separated by a tarmac road. The property has been in the same family since 1844 and is a recognised element of the region’s heritage, as proved by its classification as a picturesque site for the last 50 years by the local authorities.

    Mill Poitiers (86)

    In the scenic Vienne region, in the centre of grounds crossed by a river, a traditional farmhouse with full French ownership rights and two guest houses. The property can be accessed via two entrances, the first providing direct access to the grounds and the second to the farmhouse via a courtyard, where a covered area has been created with space for two cars. A caretaker's cottage is located a few meters from the main entrance. The stone farmhouse has a flat-tiled roof. Its two facades are dotted with windows, some with French windows, which are echoes of each another. In the grounds, a first guest house can be accessed via the garden gate and by going past the front of the farmhouse, which is just a few metres away. Built of exposed stone with a tiled roof like the farmhouse, it faces the mill and a reservoir formed by the water from the millstream. The mill, set opposite these first two dwellings is the focal point of the whole complex. The mill's history can be traced back to the 17th century, when its dykes were built. Destroyed by a fire in 1790, it was rebuilt in 1800 and still has water rights to this day. Its drop height is around 1.8 m. It should be noted that all the dykes have been bricked up and raised to protect the buildings from possible winter flooding. Finally, a second guest house has been built on the first island and is linked to the shore by a small bridge and accessed by a stone staircase. Another bridge leads to a second, even larger island.

    House with garden and terrace Poitiers (86)

    A renovated listed church and its 5,000 m² of grounds in a village 15 minutes from Poitiers. The church, designated 'basilica', stands out for its prominent position in the village. An avenue of plane trees marks the entrance to the grounds surrounding the edifice. Built of rendered limestone between 1884 and 1889, the church reflects the Medieval Revival architecture and other eclectic elements of a period marked by the influence of Viollet-le-Duc. It has a groundplan in the form of a Latin cross with a single nave. Its bell tower-porch, designed by the architect Alcide Boutaud, has an unfinished facade, known as a 'bonding facade', which lends it an almost Romanesque style, even though the structure adopts Gothic architectural references. Two metal spiral staircases flank the entrance and lead up to a balcony, where a large pointed-arch opening with double-glazing provides access to a fully restored organ. On either side of the nave, large galleries form a cloister which links the doorways to the chapels. Their entrances are embellished by two pointed arches and two attached pilasters. These galleries have been double-glazed and fitted with new-generation radiators. The entire basilica, including the sacristy, was included in the French National Heritage List by decree on 4 January 2011.

    Castle Vémars (95)

    A neo-Palladian chateau with outhouses, set in nine hectares of lawns and woods near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and 35 kilometres from the French capital. Railings painted bottle green form a concave shape that is centred upon a wrought-iron gate leading into the property, where a remarkable neoclassical chateau built in 1846 stands proudly. A vast lush lawn extends immediately beyond the gate. The chateau lies further on. Straight to the right of the wrought-iron gate there is a pedestrian gate in the same style as the main gate and a caretaker’s lodge made of brick and rubble stone. The chateau’s design is neo-Palladian. The magnificent edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The building is rectangular and made of dressed stone. All its elevations are coated with white rendering that has a slightly pink tint. A raised terrace and a series of evenly spaced columns form a portico at the top of four front steps. This portico leads to the chateau’s main entrance door. Four majestic Doric columns feature in this tetrastyle portico. A terrace lies above their capitals. This terrace is edged with an architrave and a finely crafted balustrade. Along the facade, 11 bays per floor offer sweeping views of the beautiful grounds in front of the chateau. The window ledges and their corbels are made of dressed stone. The windows are fitted with shutters, the pale blue tone of which brings out the edifice’s hues. A neoclassical pediment with three windows rises up in the middle of the facade, on the chateau’s top floor. A long row of Greek dentils underline the entablature, adding a light touch of elegance to the grand edifice. Dormers and skylights neatly punctuate the roof. The rear elevation has an architectural design that is similar to the facade. But here a distyle portico marks the entrance where a tetrastyle portico adorns the front. The chateau’s hipped slate roof is in perfect condition. Red-brick chimney stacks rise up from it. Beyond the chateau there is an annexe that looks like a grand country house. Work was carried out on the property in the late 19th century. During this phase, a farmhouse, an outbuilding and a dovecote were added in the property’s north-east corner. An outer wall encloses most of the grounds, where vast lush lawns extend, edged by broad-leaved trees. Archaeological remains may be buried beneath these grounds. The property is remarkably peaceful and soothing. Tranquillity reigns here.

    Castle Charolles (71)

    A large, 18th & 19th century, estate awaiting renovation, with a chateau and outbuildings in 14 ha of parklands, meadows and woods in south Burgundy. The current structure of the estate, standing on the site of an old Seigneury, predominantly dates from the 18th and 19th centuries. It can be reached via various private roads, including the main driveway that goes around the landscaped parklands, bringing the symmetrical facade of the chateau into view. The outbuildings, comprising two houses and spaces fitted out for reception activities, delimit a courtyard which opens on to a large, walled vegetable garden. The entire property exudes peace and quiet, away from any noise or visual pollution. However, it is in need of major renovation works and a new lease on life for its history to continue.

    Manor Amboise (37)

    A 17th-century manor, with outbuildings and 2.5-hectare grounds, perched up on a hill on the outskirts of Amboise. The manor and its grounds, buttressed by strong retaining walls and overlooking the Loire Valley, are accessible by vehicle via an immense gate, which opens on to a front courtyard. Built in the 17th century and modified in the 19th, the L-shaped manor, located in the northwest corner, features a slightly offset pavilion on each end, as well as three storeys topped with a floor under the eaves, which is, in turn, bathed in light thanks to its gabled dormers. With plaster-coated exteriors bookended with stone quoins, the manor is cadenced by wide windows safeguarded by louvred shutters as well as several bull’s-eye windows, whereas, on the garden side, solid shutters or grills provide protection for the dwelling’s windows. Featuring a fibre-cement roof over the central wing and slate versions over the lateral pavilions, directly opposite the manor, a group of outbuildings abut the rocky hillside, after which the estate was named, while a formal garden acts as a link between the patio and an ornamental pavilion. As for the grounds, with a wooded area overlooking a pasture, they exude a bucolic and peaceful ambiance.

    House with pool and garden Bellac (87)

    A barn, transformed into a dwelling with a swimming pool, and a Templar building, in the Blond foothills, 40 minutes to the north of Limoges. Seen from above, the property, with its two edifices, is located in a hamlet populated with granite dwellings. On one side and set back from the road, a barn was transformed into a dwelling in the early 2000s with an extension on its southern end, while a Templar-style building, constructed between the 15th and 17th centuries, stands on the adjacent, and slightly elevated, lot. Built out of light-colour granite, the immense two-storey main dwelling features orderly windows, safeguarded by wooden shutters, as well as seven bedrooms, including two on the ground floor. As for the integrated garage, wine cellar and boiler room, they provide comfort as well as modernity, whereas a large arched window, and the main façade’s centrepiece, offers glimpses of its large interior dimensions as well as plenty of natural light. Featuring stone window/door surrounds as well as understated lintels, which blend in seamlessly with its traditional windows, the dwelling’s lightly burnished tile roof dialogues with the one atop the adjacent edifice, while low stone walls, iron gates or hedges fully enclose both lots.

    House with garden and terrace La Flotte (17)

    An 18th-century collection of stone dwellings on a walled plot dotted with trees in the town of La Flotte on Île de Ré island off France’s west coast. The property extends back a long way, arranged in a layout that is a token of its agricultural past. The different buildings are all single-storey structures. They are all turned inwards, facing a central garden. Part of the plot is made up of protected areas. More open areas offer clear views among the buildings. This layout ensures privacy yet provides breathing space too. There is a main house and several old stone constructions: a wine storehouse, a grain storeroom, a barn and a sheep shed. They are all converted buildings that have undergone successive developments. Among them, there are three self-contained dwellings. Exposed stonework forms the elevations, though some of these walls are coated with rendering. Roofs of barrel tiles crown the buildings. Wooden window frames and shutters, mostly painted blue, punctuate the elevations. Most of the floors inside are covered with traditional tiles, though some rooms have floors of terracotta tiles.

    Castle Angers (49)

    A 19th-century mansion, 25 minutes from Angers, with many outbuildings, in 7 hectares of grounds. The property is situated in a rural environment and can be reached via a minor road. To the southeast, there is a second entrance via a country lane. The mansion, which stands in the centre of the estate is surrounded by a gravel courtyard and its main facades face north and south. The edifice was probably originally built in the 18th century but was entirely transformed during the 1870s. The main section of the residence is flanked by a pavilion to the east and an overhanging turret to the west. All the buildings are built with rough-hewn blocks of shale, which are lime-rendered. The window and door surrounds as well the mouldings on the facades are made of tuffeau stone. In the centre to the north, a slightly protruding central section is made of tuffeau stone and topped by a steep pavilion roof. The entrance door is topped by a large window in front of which there is a finely crafted ironwork balcony, and above which, in turn, there is a semi-circular pediment punctuated by a central dormer window. All the roofs are made of slate and crowned by zinc ridge caps as well as red brick chimney stacks. The outbuildings are located to the east and south. These disused buildings are all built with lime-rendered rough-hewn blocks of shale. The roofs are made of slate and the surrounds of the openings are made of red brick. The grounds and meadows stretch out to the west.

    House with garden and terrace Cotignac (83)

    Two flats, which have been combined to form a single dwelling, with a garden, in the middle of Cotignac and the greater Var department. The three-storey building, constructed in the 17th century with a barrel tile roof, is can be found in the town’s historical centre along a sloping alleyway where the kitchens of a hotel, situated a little further up the street, were once located. As for the entryway, accessible via a solid wood arched doorway, it was formerly a stable whose floor still features paving suitable for horse traffic, while, today, the building has been divided up into five flats. Two of them – the one on the ground floor with a garden and the one on the first floor’s western side – make up one unit in the commonhold property.

    House with terrace Monlet (43)

    In Haute-Loire, just 8 minutes from La Chaise-Dieu, two houses with a total area of 1,250 m², a wooded park of 4 ha, and a lake of 22 ha. At the end of a tree-lined road, the 22 ha lake reveals itself, alongside which stands a long building constructed in 1903, oriented east/west. It consists of two parts of different heights: the lower part, which includes a gîte and a caretaker's accommodation, and the upper part, currently divided into two apartments that can easily be connected, referred to as 'lake house 1' and 'lake house 2'. About 80 m from the building, there is an old hunting lodge, three stories high, facing west, with a view over the lake. The whole occupies the wooded park of approximately 7 ha. The 22 ha lake requires no special daily management, only quadrennial maintenance.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    Mas Quissac (30)

    Between Montpellier and Nîmes, a former agricultural estate of 7 hectares, with a 17th-century farmhouse, a master house, outbuildings, and a 19th-century winery. Less than 1 km from Quissac, the 7-hectare estate extends to the east and west around four buildings grouped into a private hamlet: a winery, a large farm known as "le grand mas", a dovecote, and the winemaker's residence. Access to the property is via the road serving the old agricultural courtyard. The master house, which is reached through the countryside, is located opposite this departmental road, facing the vineyards and woods. Strongly reflecting its past viticultural activity through the articulation of its elements, the property has evidently experienced several destinies. An artisanal silk production activity may have preceded viticulture before land division halted it. Other uses followed – thus the old winery has today been transformed into workshops and reception rooms. On the foothills of the Cévennes, the construction of the buildings, often austere, obeys solely the laws dictated by labor and rural habitation over time. The construction periods differ from one element to another and primarily oscillate between the beginning and the end of the 19th century, with architectural interventions additionally aimed at unifying the whole in the 20th and 21st centuries. The master house, built at the end of the 19th century, has curiously adopted the model of local magnaneries, modest and largely open to the south. The winery, of the same period, was renovated after the roof of the central part collapsed. The "grand mas", which was undoubtedly a rural dwelling with its few vaulted lower rooms, provides an evident example of construction carried out on earlier remains, probably from the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century. The dovecote, made of red bricks, built on the roof of dependency used for living, dates from the early 20th century and surrounds a series of small adjoining houses currently used as rental residences. The whole, whose attraction is notably enhanced by the preservation of the natural environment from various damages, offers an interesting testimony of daily life in Cévennes viticulture. Its contemporary rehabilitation, unfinished in some places, has granted it a certain homogeneity.This description has been automatically translated from French.

    Manor Luc-sur-Mer (14)

    A 19th-century manor in around 5 hectares of grounds, 4 kilometres from Luc-sur-Mer and 20 minutes from Caen, in the heart of a lush valley. On the outskirts of a neighbourhood dominated by the bright shades of Caen stone, a lush, green track arrives at a wrought-iron gate. Beyond it, the private drive through the woods leads to a clearing tucked away from prying eyes. On one side, a foliage-covered, chalk cliff provides natural protection, while on the other a wood including hundred-year-old trees envelops the place in a peaceful atmosphere. In the centre, the garden is made up of several lawns, an orchard and grassy meadows spanning approximately 6 hectares. The late 19th-century residence, combining neo-Gothic and Anglo-Norman influences, stands on a slight outcrop. The three-storey main residence boasts a semi-underground garden level, a first floor and a converted attic. Its irregular L-shape gives it a picturesque silhouette. The steeply sloped slate roof combines dual-pitched Mansard, pavilion and conical roofs, punctuated by dormers and brick chimney stacks. The roof ridges are topped with decorative metal caps, sometimes arrow-shaped, underlining the building’s verticality. The façade combines light-coloured rendering with decorative half-timbering, in keeping with Anglo-Norman tradition. Tall mullioned and transom windows, a central oriel window and a wooden balcony punctuate the façade, while a semi-circular wooden patio overlooks the grounds. To the rear, a modern glazed extension, with a teak patio, blends into the edifice’s architecture, creating a subtle transition between old and modern. The grounds also play host to a covered swimming pool, a wooden pavilion and several landscaped paths, which lead from the house to the surrounding countryside, enhancing the manor’s romantic character.

    Apartment Viry-chatillon (91)

    An entirely renovated, 295-m² flat, in a neoclassical chateau, thirty minutes from Paris. Behind a wrought-iron gate and sheltered from view, the chateau stands proudly behind its contemporary-looking courtyard. According to archival records, in 1746, the estate was first bought by the farmer-general Marin de La Haye, before it was acquired in 1790, on the eve of the Revolution, by Madame de Saint-Sauvery, who built a house here, which would then be transformed in the middle of the 19th century into a chateau with an eclectic architectural style by the architect Cannissié, who added an Italian neo-Renaissance style chapel, connected to the central building via a gallery, and designed stables inspired by Swiss chalets. In 1873, an outdoor sitting area covered by a metal and glass truss frame was constructed next to the stables by the André et Fleury company of Neuilly-sur-Seine, while, in 1857, the estate was purchased by the two brothers of the industrialist Jules Laveissière, owner of the chateau at that time, who then carried out an in-depth renovation and replaced it with a neoclassical style edifice in 1902. Lastly, in the 1990s, a four-storey, L-shaped building was attached to the back of the plaster-coated brick chateau, the central building of which is topped with a long-span gable roof and flanked by two protruding wings, which are, in turn, crowned with long-span hipped roofs. In addition, the central building is extended by a forepart on the ground floor topped with a terrace, as are the two side pavilions located on either corner. As for the flat, it occupies the first two levels on the chateau’s western side and faces the garden and ornamental pond, while the commonhold property, set within immense grounds of 1.5 hectares, includes three buildings in total: the chateau, the stables and the recent neoclassical-style wing.

    House with pool and garden Perigueux (24)

    An isolated 14th and 17th century castle divided into four homes, in the middle of 34 hectares of land in the Dordogne area, to the northwest of Périgueux. This estate, in the heart of a rural and undulating environment, away from large and medium-sized thoroughfares, is spread out over more than 34 hectares of meadows, organic farmland and woods. The buildings, located in the centre of this land, are surrounded by parkland and boast an inner courtyard, gardens, patios and an approximately 1-hectare orchard. The property benefits from uninterrupted 360° views. It is made up of a main edifice with two wings in an L-shape flanked by an imposing 14th-century round tower where they join, a farm with its various farm buildings near to the passing road and, lastly, set slightly away from the rest, a swimming pool with a view overlooking the surrounding nature. The rubble stone and ashlar façades are mostly rendered, with mainly rectangular doors and windows, some of which have mullions and transoms, while the mainly gabled roofs are made up of half-round or flat tiles. The main entrance to the property is formed by a drive, lined with hundred-year-old trees and a long farm building, that leads to an inner courtyard closed by a gate. A secondary entrance runs alongside a lawned, shaded parking area to the west wing of the castle.

    House with garden Bethune (62)

    An elegant mansion with a 1,000m² floor area, two self-contained apartments and 2,000m² of grounds, in Béthune town centre in northern France, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris. The mansion is characteristic of edifices built in the wake of the First World War by renowned architects like Marcel Griffon. It lies on the site of a former sugar factory, created by the Dellisse-Engrand family in Béthune in 1818. This was one of the first sugar factories in France. A commemorative plaque in tribute to Victor Amédée Dellisse, a civil engineer, member of parliament and politician honoured by Napoleon III, is still displayed on the edifice’s facade. The dwelling is crowned with a hipped mansard roof. The mansion, made of ashlar, is typical of 1920s neo-classical architecture. It is embellished with wrought-iron balcony balustrades with motifs, fine mouldings and sculpted cornices with a wealth of details. The building has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. It is hidden behind an electric wrought-iron gate and it stands in tree-dotted grounds. These walled grounds cover 2,000m². The brick walls here date back to the time of the military engineer Vauban and were built upon the ruins of a 16th-century Franciscan monastery: Les Récollets. Indeed, opposite the mansion’s facade there are the remaining columns and arches of a former church, which was listed as a historical monument in 1973. Part of the church’s central nave remains. A driveway with a cluster of flowers and shrubs in the middle makes it easy for cars to enter and leave the property.

    Listed castle Chateaudouble (26)

    A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.

    Contemporary house with pool and garden Cordes-sur-Ciel (81)

    An unusual village house with swimming pool and garden in the heart of the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn department. The house, mainly built in the 16th century on the heights of the hilltop village, is reached via cobbled medieval alleyways. A driveway leads from the entrance gate to a patio enhancing the south-eastern main facade at right angles. Four different roofs with local tiles, one- or two-pitched, clearly set apart the various sections of this atypical building. The property has a floor area of approx. 350 m² extending over three stories. A contemporary 1980s extension, fronted by a wood and glass conservatory, adjoins the first main section, which is the original part of the house and abuts the old tower. All the facades are of old, rough-hewn stone, some combined with brick, some rendered and some half-timbered, a reminder of the many different historical periods and the unique character of the local architecture. The windows are arranged symmetrically or irregularly depending on the facade and vary widely in size. They are mainly rectangular or arched. Finally, a terrace extends from the garden level, which features a swimming pool. The wooded, lawned grounds to the rear of the building are enclosed by walls.

    A 115-hectare estate with a traditional 18th-century house, outbuildings and a farm, nestled in the River Dordogne valley in France’s Périgord area. The property lies on a discreet hill above a river, set back from major roads. It is located between the towns of Bergerac and Sarlat-la-Canéda, around one kilometre from the River Dordogne. You reach the site from the town of Lalinde, on a tourist trail of regional bastides – small, fortified grid-plan towns that were built in south-west France in the Middle Ages. The estate covers around 115 hectares of meadows and woods. A driveway lined with maples leads up to the traditional country house, which was built in the 18th century and then redesigned in the 19th century. The edifice is listed in a register of similar local country houses – known as chartreuses – in the Périgord area. The collection of buildings extends around the main dwelling and its outbuildings, forming a homogeneous residential whole. The main house is made of dressed stone and coated with rendering. It is elongated in shape, in line with the local architectural tradition of the Périgord area. A basement extends beneath it and the main section is flanked with pavilions with roofs of old tiles. Along the top of the facade there are dormers. This facade is punctuated with greyish-blue louvred shutters. A central entrance door with a wrought-iron grate is set in a fine surround of exposed dressed stone. The front court is gravelled and enclosed on three sides by the house’s main section and wings, which house a summer kitchen and a pantry. This court is dotted with neatly trimmed box shrubs and yews. On the north side, there is a farm with separate entrance routes and installations. A former dovecote is set back. It has been converted into a dwelling.
