House Fontainebleau (77)
Very close to Fontainebleau, in Samois-sur-Seine, a village house and its former artist's studio. The house is located on a pleasant cobblestone street in the village, undoubtedly one of the most authentic, where an old washhouse still exists. It connects upper Samois to lower Samois and its banks of the Seine. Attached on one side, it is bordered on the other by a path that winds between the houses. Raised over three levels with a basement, the house features simple facades of exposed stone with a white plastered base, topped by a two-pitched country tile roof, pierced by a Jacobin dormer. The openings, with molded frames and sills, are straight, featuring a glass front door and large-pane windows, partly protected by folding metal shutters. The living area is approximately 95 m². A flight of three stone steps allows access to the entrance from the sidewalk.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Auvers-sur-Oise (95)
An elegant 19th century residence divided into several dwellings, in vast wooded parkland in France's beautiful Vexin region . A gravelled driveway leads to the main residence, set back slightly on the edge of parkland spanning almost 2.7 hectares. Built in 1850 in the Second Empire style by Frédéric Schumacher, founder of the eponymous company, it has around 700 m² of living space over several floors. This vast mansion features symmetrical, structured architecture, with a central body flanked by two slightly protruding wings, which give rhythm to the aesthetics of the façade. The Mansard-style natural slate roof features bull's eye dormers, ornate pediments and a finial. At one end, a bell tower with a domed roof evokes the neo-Renaissance or neo-Louis XIII style typical of holiday homes of the period. The whole structure rests on a base of exposed rubble stone, while the walls are rendered in light tones. The main house has 20 rooms, including 12 bedrooms, as well as numerous service areas and converted outbuildings. It is currently organised into four separate units: three flats and a house. All have separate access, but could easily be brought together to bring the building back to its original unity. Opposite the property, a detached caretaker's cottage has three rooms on two levels. Other outbuildings – a former wash-house with a bread oven, cellar, workshop, sheds, kennels and 12 horse stalls – dot the rest of the property. A large parking area has been created at a distance from the house.

Property with pool Senlis (60)
A stately Anglo-Norman dwelling, to be restored, surrounded by grounds and its outbuildings, 20 minutes from Paris, in the Oise department. Set back from the street, behind an ancient covered gate topped with two pinnacles, a cobblestone drive traverses the verdant grounds before arriving at the tree-filled front courtyard. It is here where the dwelling was built in 1904 by a renowned architect in the Anglo-Norman style, so popular for large holiday homes during the Belle Epoque era. Featuring brick and ashlar stone in a composition with overall balanced proportions, the dwelling also includes a conservatory and an oriel window, while the main façade, cadenced by tall vertical overhanging windows, is topped with a complex multi-pitched rooftop, mostly covered in slate except for the conservatory, which is clad in glazed flat tiles. In addition, two exterior staircases, one straight, the other horseshoe-shaped, provide access to the dwelling’s front doors. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 250 m², the dwelling is laid out around an immense entrance hall and includes a living room extended by a conservatory, a study, as well as six bedrooms, one of which is open and has a sloping ceiling. As for the garden level, it adds to the dwelling’s overall living area thanks to three rooms facing the exterior, while the grounds of 4,000 m² are planted with many multi-century trees and divided into two main sections: a terraced garden, which provides a touch of elegance, as well as an area, accessible from the cobblestone courtyard, where the caretaker’s cottage, a garage, a storage unit and various outbuildings are located. Further on, a large swimming pool is protected by a moveable cover, whereas the property, in of itself, represents a peaceful living environment, surrounded by a natural setting with protected architectural heritage and within immediate proximity to the main hubs in the Ile-de-France region. It should be noted that a careful renovation of the premises would be able to successfully restore this dwelling to its former lustre and reveal its inherent charm that is just waiting to be discovered and showcased once again.

Manor Bayeux (14)
An estate designed for receptions on 3-hectare grounds, within the wooded Bessin countryside of Normandy, two hours and 15 minutes from Paris. Seen from above, the property is nestled amidst large expanses of farmland bordered by woods along their edges, while a long lane lined with trees leads to a group of buildings, organised in a U shape around a central landscaped courtyard. With a total floor area of approximately 1,500 m², the estate underwent a meticulous renovation in 2023, which successfully managed to combine its ancient architectural heritage with contemporary requirements. As for the buildings, topped with steep slate roofs, they are arranged around the main dwelling, a manor house built out of Caen stone and cadenced by tall small-paned windows. With two storeys as well as an attic level, it is flanked by two lower wings that frame a precisely defined courtyard, while the outbuildings extend along the courtyard’s three other sides. Featuring a long perpendicular building to the north, with an understated exterior, the main dwelling communicates with a contemporary, glassed in wing to the south, which is extended by a formal garden and more recent amenities. In addition, the exteriors, cadenced by symmetrical windows, alternate between pointed stone and stately blonde limestone window/door surrounds, whereas, behind, a thicket provides welcome shade and privacy. With breath-taking views of the Norman wooded landscape, which has remained unchanged for centuries, the whole exudes both the stability of a family dwelling, as well as the elegance of a site that is today focused on receptions, guest accommodations and celebrations, with its many reception rooms and bedrooms.

House with garden and terrace Bécherel (35)
A 17th-century inn with half-timbering and an enclosed garden, between Rennes and Saint Malo, on the central square of a characterful village. On the village’s main square, the property’s half-timbered façade, boasting windows with Brittany blue coloured joinery and cob walls rendered in a bright golden yellow, immediately stands out from its granite-built neighbours. This approximately 300-m² former inn built in 1643 today boasts eight bedrooms for its guests, as well as the peace and quiet of its enclosed garden. The façade is embellished with fern leaf patterned half-timbering typical of the 17th century and possesses three vertical rows of windows, as well as a basement, above which there is a ground floor, first floor and two attic levels.

House Chinon (37)
20 minutes from Chinon, Fontevraud, and Montsoreau, an ancient convent listed as a historic monument, entirely renovated with its French and English gardens. Once past the porch, the eye embraces the French garden and the façade of the house, whose almost conventual sobriety is softened by the blondness of the tuff stone and the regular arrangement of tall windows. The steep slate roofs, pierced with finial dormers, converse with the neighboring bell tower and remind us of the religious origin of the place. Behind the main dwelling, the remains of the ancient cloister display their Gothic arcades with fine lead joinery. At the back, the formal gardens bordered by boxwood extend the perspective. A little further, two distinct spaces are established: a garage and a wood shed. Another entrance serves for cars.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Macon (71)
The brilliant metal structure of a 650 m² hut. Background: in 1922 Ferdinand-Fillod, native of Saint-Amour (Jura), began constructing metal huts for construction sites. He very quickly set up radical new methods for building with metal. As of 1928, he developed a system for prefabricating metal buildings that he patented worldwide. Then followed the steel panel (1929), the totally steel house, the sloping walls (1935) and the vertical walls (1950’s). Over the last twenty years, historians have been discovering the importance of this pioneer in the field of prefabrication, fifteen years before Jean-Prouvé. The building, with sloping walls, is composed of vertical metal bays, adjoined to one another. Each bay has two arched crossbeams, made of hot and then cold formed steel, separated by spacers. A ribbed panel then fits in between the crossbeams. Said panel can, in accordance with requirements, be optionally equipped with an awning window or replaced by a door panel. Sheet metal ridging is then fitted on the top, forming the roof of the building. The unit therefore becomes a continuous metal carcass, virtually in one piece, the length of which depends on the number of crossbeams added. Gable walls, fitted into the last crossbeams at each end of the building, can house doors or windows. These buildings were entirely made in the Fillod factories in accordance with the exact needs of each user. They were then delivered to the construction sites as separate components ready to be easily assembled courtesy of detailed erection instructions. The buildings with sloping walls, made in various widths, are extremely versatile. All the component parts being standardised, they can be altered so as to modify their interior space and possible sleeping capacity. Furthermore, the component parts, simply fitting together, can be assembled and dismantled several times. The number of bays can be reduced or increased as required and the buildings can be segmented so as to delimit areas with different vocations.

House with pool Joigny (89)
A former watermill from the 19th century with a farm complex and 25 hectares of land free of any use or buildings, nestled on the River Armançon in France’s Yonne department. The imposing farm complex, with its inalienable right to make use of the river water already indicated on the Cassini Map (the first detailed map of France, produced in the 18th century), extends around a central courtyard surrounded by meadows. From a road that leads to the village, you reach a covered carriage entrance framed with brickwork. This bears witness to the historical role of this place that once brought together farming activities and the watermill. A driveway lined with acacias leads to the buildings. The buildings are arranged into two series of connecting structures that face each other and run from east to west. Two houses stand out, completed with a group of outbuildings with different purposes: there are barns, workshops, storerooms, stables and a former bakehouse. Beyond them, at the back, meadows and paddocks extend from the tree-dotted banks of a lake, filled up with water from a stream that then joins the River Armançon, whose banks are on the other side of the road that leads to the property. Today, this remarkable property combines its agricultural activities with receptions and gîtes, offering produce straight from the farm.

House with pool Évry-Courcouronnes (91)
A former outbuilding of a mansion with an Anglo-Norman appearance, near the banks of the River Seine, in the Essonne area, 30 minutes from Paris. Since the 18th century, the banks of the River Seine in Évry, between Paris and Fontainebleau, have welcomed havens of peace for illustrious travellers, including Madame de Montespan, Louis XIV’s famous mistress. This Anglo-Norman style property is a former outbuilding of a mansion erected in the late 19th century. It is a vestige of the passages of illustrious personalities, seeking solace far from the hustle and bustle of a city that has since expanded. The residence, situated between two parks, boasts almost 400 m² of living space set around a paved courtyard and framed by two gardens - one in front and one to the rear - on a plot of almost 4,000 m². The house, behind the gate and hedges enclosing the property, is punctuated with brown half-timbering, roofs made of flat tiles, gable, shed as well as hipped dormers and small-paned windows with white joinery. The first cobbled courtyard, in the shade of tall plane trees, is of sufficient size to park several vehicles. It leads to a house divided into two apartments as well as a garage topped by an elegant, corbelled overhang. In the middle, an entrance porch reserved for pedestrian access opens onto a rectangular second cobbled courtyard that leads to the half-timbered main house, its annexes and outbuildings.

House with pool Aigues-Vives (30)
Between Montpellier, Nîmes, and the wild Camargue, a master house from the late 18th century, its courtyard, its garden, and its swimming pool. The master house, which was once part of a wine estate, is set in a quiet area, on the square of a small town in the Gard with around 3,000 inhabitants. The entrance from the village square is through a magnificent 19th-century wrought-iron gate, which leads to a stone path bordered by cypress trees that leads to the property. A more modern gate, which allows direct access to the garden by car, opens to the north of the square, on the left side of the facade. Built in an L-shape, the building follows a northwest-southeast axis. The main building, rectangular in shape, faces to the east. The entire construction occupies an area of nearly 500 m² and features a facade of certain austerity, with perfectly dressed ashlar stone foundations. The limestone, with an ochre blond color, was probably extracted from the nearby quarries of Pondres. The residence, elevated over two levels, is pierced by eleven rectangular openings, three of which are filled with large French doors that respect a meticulous arrangement. A projecting cornice highlights the top of the gable wall, marking a distinct separation from the sky. The roofs are two-sided tiled. On the courtyard side, each window or door, flanked by shutters painted in a "gray-blue" very characteristic of the region, opens onto a enclosure planted with shrubs of Mediterranean species (lavender, rosemary, and agave) under the protective foliage of a hundred-year-old cedar of Lebanon. On the garden side, the east-facing facade features a sand-colored lime plaster that perfectly matches the local stone. A double edge elegantly enhances the eaves. Completing the property and running alongside the dwelling to the east after a stone terrace, the garden, both mineral and vegetative, offers a dominant view of the surrounding hills.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Limoges (87)
15 minutes from downtown Limoges, a townhouse from the 1930s, with a garden and independent living space. Set back from the street, behind a stone wall and a discreet gate, the slate-roofed building rises three levels and adopts a rigorous and symmetrical composition, characteristic of bourgeois constructions from the 1930s. The main façade, oriented to the south, is rendered in light tones and punctuated by regular rows of vertical bays, some of which open onto slender wrought-iron balconies. The frames of the bays, horizontal bands, and corner chains help to rhythmically articulate the elevations. The garden plot, of modest size but structured, evokes the ornamental gardens of the interwar period, where a few trimmed trees and managed vegetation accompany the architecture. Some outbuildings, such as a carriage garage and a chicken coop, are associated with the residential house.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 16th century château, outbuildings, including two 18th century lodges, and 4 hectares of parkland overlooking the Forez plain, 20 minutes from Saint-Etienne . Once you have passed through the large entrance gates at the end of a country road, a French-style formal garden unfolds, followed by the main courtyard, which leads to the imposing, elegant château that faces the setting sun. The garden is bordered to the north by a barn and to the south by a caretaker's cottage. A wide stone staircase leads to a second French-style formal garden to the south of the building, where large topiaries surround a circular pool with a fountain at its centre. The château, built at the end of the 16th century under Henry IV on 11th century foundations and cellars by a lord of Saint-Victor, has a rectangular tower at each of its four corners, as well as a round tower to the south, which was incorporated into the rest of the building.

Near Volterra, a Tuscan stone villa with panoramic views over the surrounding hills. Volterra rises in the distance like an Etruscan sentinel, watching over the rolling hills for three millennia, their gentle waves reaching the 6,000 m² of this Tuscan garden. Here, olive trees planted by long-forgotten generations converse with the vertical cypresses that punctuate the horizon, a living composition in which the stone villa settles naturally into the landscape without imposing itself upon it. This is a land where alabaster is still carved by hand in the medieval workshops of the hilltop town, where wild boars cross the farmland at dusk, and where Tuscany reveals its authentic face, far from the standardized postcard landscapes of the tourist-saturated Val d’Orcia.
