House with terrace Pezenas (34)
A large restored residence of about 500 m², near to Pézenas, in the Hérault area, in the heart of a picturesque village. Located in the heart of the village and adjoined by a venerable fig tree on the terrace enclosed by period railings, the dwelling has been completely restored since its construction in the 19th century. The residence spans three levels, all featuring numerous windows and glass doors with wooden frames. Adorned with Greek friezes, the sober ironwork guard-rails and balconies strictly follow the main lines of the classical-style facade. The natural stone cornices add a distinctive finish to the house and are a fine substitute for a classical Provençal frieze. The roofs are clad with terracotta monk-and-nun tiles. The entrance from the cobbled alleyway is through an old doorway, partly glazed and framed by stone pilasters crowned by Ionic capitals. The capitals are topped by a dentilled cornice which supports a corbelled balcony on the first floor. The edifice is flanked by an adjacent building in need of renovation, which can be accessed via an alleyway. Behind a large wooden gate, this space with a mezzanine can be used for storage and vehicle parking.

Castle Reims (51)
A listed castle, once belonging to the Joyeuse counts, in 7 ha of parklands 2½ hours from Paris and Brussels in a region known as Argonne-Ardennaise. The geographic location of Grandpré castle, standing on a rocky spur, was already an advantage in medieval times. In a dominant position, looking out over the Argonne region towards the roads through the Champagne countryside, it was one of the border areas essential to the young kingdom of France. The county, divided since the Crusades, was gradually reunited until it fell into the hands of a powerful character, Louis-de-Joyeuse, chamberlain at the court of Louis XII. Supporter of the Catholic League, his heir, Claude-de-Joyeuse, amassed spoils and fortune in the 17th century, thus enabling him to embellish the estate and leave his mark on the surrounding buildings: the church and other buildings necessary to the inhabitants of the county. Distinguishing themselves from many of their contemporaries, the Joyeuse counts made their mark through military careers (Marshals of France and Lieutenant-Generals of the king’s armies) and followed Louis XIV. It was during 1685 that major works were carried out (large appartements, stables, etc.) and financed courtesy of the titles and offices acquired by members of the Joyeuses family following their military successes during the Wars of Spanish Succession around 1700. Marriages arranged with the large families in the Champagne region did the rest. However, despite a well-founded land heritage, lineage strategies proved too fragile and the estate gradually became divided in the 18th century. Furthermore, the estate was little occupied prior to the fall of the monarchy in 1792. It was requisitioned by General-Dumouriez, a famous republican hero following the Valmy victory against the Austrians. He settled his general quarters there prior to it becoming a hospital set up for the revolutionary armies. Despite a token show of renovation under the First Empire and during the Restoration era, a lack of constant upkeep led to a fire that started in the gatehouse and the destruction of the castle in 1834. Only one pavilion was restored, it now forms the current castle. An outstanding collection of outbuildings align the street going up the hill. A monumental pavilion, in a central recess, provides access to the outbuilding courtyard. The castle and its parklands are then reached by passing under the semi-circular arched porchway of the gatehouse.

House with pool and garden Martel (46)
In the north of Lot, within the walls of a medieval city, there is a family and pleasure house from the 13th, 17th, and 19th centuries and its hanging gardens. On the heights of the causse overlooking the Dordogne valley, near the gates of the Regional Natural Park of the Causses du Quercy, recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark, Martel is organized around a center with remarkably preserved architectural heritage. Pedestrian alleys, blonde stone houses, and small squares compose a harmonious ensemble where shops remain plentiful. The town, lively all year round, reveals itself at the rhythm of its markets highlighting local products and regular cultural events. It offers all necessary amenities for daily life, as well as health services and educational structures, in one of the most preserved environments of Quercy. Near the Halle square and the Palais de la Raymondie, the house occupies the corner of two streets, one of which allows for a tour around the old center, still marked in places by the layout of what was once its protective enclosure. Here stands the residence, which has origins dating back to the 13th century, when the city established its commercial role and fortified its boundaries. Made into a more comfortable civil dwelling in the 17th century, and restructured in the 19th century, it today retains a stratified architecture, a discreet witness to the long history of the town. Situated in a dominant position, it benefits from beautiful brightness and open views of the surrounding countryside, perceptible from the windows as well as from the two gardens.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Labastide-Saint-Pierre (82)
In the Occitanie region, between Toulouse and Montauban, along the Tarn River, a 19th-century farm and its outbuildings sit on a park spanning over 4 hectares. Accessible via a path leading to its entrance gate, the property is introduced by a landscaped and wooded park, consisting of meadows, adorned with alcoves of bushes and flower beds, as well as a spring that flows downstream towards the banks of the Tarn. At the end of a wide, winding gravel driveway, behind wooded areas, the facade of the main body of the farm reveals itself. This includes three single-story buildings: a barn serving as a spacious garage, a pigeon house, and the main dwelling. On a wall of the attic, the date of construction of the farm is inscribed: 1854. The buildings, traditional in style, are made of local bricks, wood, and canal tiles, with roofs that are either gabled or hipped; the modeling is understated, and the openings are straight or arched. The complete renovation of the buildings has been carried out according to professional standards: special attention has been paid to the conservation and enhancement of ancient elements, the use of noble and eco-friendly materials, as well as modern equipment and technologies, such as salt treatment for the swimming pool and double glazing for the joinery. The various buildings are connected by the gravel path, which also leads to the swimming pool. Opposite them, an oak forest leads to the spring and pond included in the park.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with garden Maintenon (28)
1 hour and 15 minutes west of Paris, between Chartres and Rambouillet, a restored 17th-century village house and its enclosed garden. The street-facing facade, made of wrought stone, limestone rubble, and flint, rises two levels under a gabled roof with flat tiles, pierced by a pendant dormer. Invisible from the street, another zinc roof extends over the rest of the house. Two openings protected by green wooden shutters punctuate the facade on the raised ground floor, sheltered from view due to the slope of the street. A small arched wooden door leads directly to a vaulted double cellar, while another, larger door with studded oak leaves, conceals a small garden enclosed by stone walls where the entrance to the house is located.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Cublize (69)
In the green Beaujolais, in a village near the Lake of Pines, a 190 m² master house from the early 20th century on a plot of 3,440 m². Not far from the church but oriented towards the outskirts of the village, the sloping land faces the forest-covered Beaujolais mountains. Crossing the entrance gate, on the flat part of the estate, the main facade of the house emerges, built in the early 20th century, with a detached porch dedicated to vehicle parking, around a gravel courtyard. Built according to a classic square plan, the main living area follows the codes of the bourgeois country house of its era: topped with a four-pitched roof, part of which is visible in slate, pierced by large openings, it is characterized by an architectural feature of its designer, borrowed from Anglo-Norman houses: a 'bow-window' or 'glazed oriel' projection with a polygonal shape on the ground floor, surmounted by a balcony on the first level. To the south, from the side of the elevated terrace, the land extends towards the river, with a view that stretches far over the surrounding countryside and the geometrically shaped swimming pool.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Blois (41)
A 15th-century house listed as a historical monument with a timber-framed facade of masterfully carved beams, nestled in the historical heart of Blois, opposite the city’s cathedral. The centuries-old house – “La Maison des Acrobates” – is listed as a historical monument. It is doubtless the oldest civil dwelling that still stands in the heart of Blois. It combines timber-framed architecture with expressive sculptures and subtle symbolism. Its remarkable facade of wooden beams with cob filler and brick is typical of the 15th century. There is a ground floor, two upstairs floors with corbelling and a third floor in the roof space. A spiral staircase links the levels together. Apart from the top floor, each level is taken up by a single room. On the ground floor, there is, on one side, a large front window – the token of a former shop here. And on the other side, there are two studded wooden entrance doors: one leads straight to the house and the other one leads to a corridor that takes you to the neighbouring house at the back. Small-paned casement windows, probably enlarged in the 18th or 19th century, bring natural light into the upstairs floors. On the third floor, two gabled dormers frame a hipped dormer, which is bigger, upon a slate roof. The back windows look out at the court of a neighbouring townhouse.

Property with garden Compiegne (60)
An immense, 19th-century family dwelling with a small garden, facing the Chateau of Compiègne. Located between the chateau’s square and grounds, this stately dwelling meshes perfectly with the surrounding architectural landscape, while rows of lime trees create a verdant environment that one can admire from all of its windows. Built out of regularly dressed ashlar stone and topped with a slate and zinc Mansard roof, completely redone in 2005, it features a classical French style with understated exterior décor – lateral pilasters, moulded window/door surrounds, keystones above the front door and stringcourses on each of its floors – echoing the chateau’s imperial architecture, whereas its only whimsical elements are the windows’ ornate wrought-iron guardrails with their stylised scroll and floral motifs. As for the commissioner of this immense dwelling, he was apparently trying to establish a geographical parallel with Emperor Napoleon III, who often came to stay at the Chateau of Compiègne during the autumn months. At that time, the imperial couple received their court and family here over a one to two-month period, which became known as “the Compiègne series” since, each week, new guests arrived to replace their predecessors.

House with garden Yerres (91)
A late 18th-century bourgeois townhouse, with a pavilion and garden, 30 minutes from Paris. The property is located behind a large, white, wrought-iron gate. Behind the entrance gate, the residence, which was built in the late 18th century and early 19th century, rises up from the middle of a landscaped and fully stone walled garden that is not overlooked. It boasts a typical Directory era style with a triangular pediment and rectangular layout. The façade that overlooks the garden boasts a flight of stone steps leading to a stoop. Both are adorned with a wrought-iron banister and guard-rail topped by an awning all the way along the stoop. At the edge of the house, there is a pavilion which has recently been converted into an estate keeper’s house. Lastly, in front of the edifice, in the ornamental garden, there is a pond and a former dovecote.

House with garden Valognes (50)
A remarkable 14th-century presbytery with a gîte, outhouses and gardens, nestled on Normandy’s Cotentin peninsula, four kilometres from beaches and three hours from Paris. Near a church, a gate between two stone pillars leads onto a drive edged with grassy gardens. This drive takes you to a first house. At the end of the drive, a covered pedestrian entrance leads into a paved courtyard in front of the presbytery. From here, a carriage entrance leads to a grassy pathway that links the church to the start of a majestic drive. This majestic drive leads up to a neighbouring chateau. The presbytery’s foundations date back to the 12th century. It was built in an L shape with flat gable ends. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. In the 14th century, an extension was added in its inner corner. The elevations are made of rubble stone. Ashlar forms the window and door surrounds. The windows and doors on the ground floor are slightly arched. The facade faces south-west. It is punctuated with six bays. Three chimney stacks rise up from the slate roof. Outhouses are dotted around three different gardens. The largest of these gardens extends in front of the presbytery’s facade.

Mill Montreuil (62)
Only 10 minutes from Montreuil-sur-Mer, an authentic, 19th-century flour mill, with a manor house and many outbuildings.. This Picardy mill, standing in green pastureland, emerges into sight after crossing a small bridge over the waterway running past the edifice and heading up a drive bordered by meadows. The main courtyard can be reached through a wrought-iron gate. The property is made up of the former mill building, an adjoining manor house, as well as extensive outbuildings that form a second courtyard to the rear. A renovated pavilion standing opposite opens onto the garden which stretches down to the river. The current mill was preceded by other older ones, which belonged to the lords of the realm, who took part in the crusades and, for some of them, perished at the battle of Agincourt. Their castle, which has since disappeared, was located in the meadows on the other side of the mill race, behind the mill building. All that remains of it is the castle mound where it was built. Though the mill was probably out of use during the French Revolution, there are traces of its activity during the 19th century, as recounted in the “Annuaire du Pas-de-Calais” directory dated 1867, then in a newspaper published in 1883, in which the miller posted an advert for an “able mill caretaker”. In 1890, the mill burned down but was rebuilt that same year. The current manor house dates from that time. In 1933, the technological advances of the time saw the water wheel replaced by a turbine. The mill remained in activity until 31st March 2024.

House with garden La Croix-Valmer (83)
An early-20th-century Mediterranean villa to be renovated in a commanding position with a sea view, nestled in 4,200m² of tree-dotted grounds in the town of La Croix-Valmer. From the town centre of La Croix-Valmer, a small secondary road snakes between grand villas – tokens of an era when tourism revealed one of the most beautiful spots on the French Riviera. Beyond a bend, a discreet tree-lined track leads up to a large gate – the property’s main entrance. Once you have gone through this gate, a drive takes you to a parking area in the shade of age-old trees and to a garage in the eastern section of the house’s semibasement. The edifice faces south-west. It stands on the edge of the property, in the plot’s north-west corner. This frees up a vast area of the garden at a lower level. The facade is coated with white rendering and it has a granite base course. It forms an L shape with a left-hand gable wall that protrudes slightly beneath a roof of green tiles. There is a raised ground floor and a first floor. This facade is punctuated with quoins in a notched pattern and windows of varied shapes set in surrounds with mouldings that have different motifs. On the top level, there is a balcony of finely carved wood that offers an unrivalled sea view and vistas of the lush surroundings. A small flight of steps leads up to the porch of the main entrance door, which takes you into the raised ground floor. A lacquered canopy crowns the porch, which has a glazed wall with tinted edges and wooden framing that recalls the other timber embellishments of the elevations and roofing and that give the edifice stylistic coherence. The eaves are supported with solid braces of wood crafted into curves and painted in the same yellow tone as the window frames, balustrades and shutters. The rear of the house is separated from the front by a small inner court that brings natural light into the adjoining rooms. The rear section is lower in height than the front section. Different roofs of red tiles are juxtaposed upon it. One of them crowns a polygonal tower. This rear section gives the house depth and mostly contains service rooms.

House with garden Toucy (89)
An elegant 18th-century village house with stone outbuildings and tree-dotted grounds in Burgundy, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris. The property is surrounded by undulating countryside: a patchwork of forests, hedge-lined meadows and lakes. It lies in a picturesque village. You enter the property via a double entrance gate of wood and metal. Gravelled areas offer parking space for several vehicles. When you first look ahead, you see a harmonious collection of buildings surrounded by grounds where tall trees and fragrant flowers grow. The main house is a long building. Like the guesthouse, it has a ground floor and a first floor. It is crowned with a gable roof of flat Burgundy tiles. A dormer stands out on the roof, above the entrance door. The house’s stone elevations bring out fine features of architectural articulation. These elevations are punctuated with large windows that have small panes and are fitted with shutters. Beautiful surrounds of brickwork frame these windows. The windows are of different sizes, which livens up the facade, up which a climbing plant grows. At one end of the house there is a carriage entrance door that connects directly to the main section. And at the other end, there is a carport made of brick and timber. Lastly, there is a woodstore at the back. The guesthouse stands at a right angle to the main house and has the same characteristics as the latter. The same stones were used to build it and its different windows are fitted with shutters of solid oak. A decorative well, a stone bench and metal sculptures complete the property’s outdoor embellishments. A secondary entrance to the property is hidden on the other side of the garden.

The flat roofs are either painted white and covered with gravel or form terraces, the largest of these extending across the first level, which includes a swimming pool. The roof of the second level is entirely covered with solar panels, for complete self-sufficiency in electricity.

House Carovigno (Italy)
A house in the historic centre of Carovigno in the region of Apulia. The historic centre of the town of Carovigno, equidistant from the sea and from the white city of Ostuni, has no reason to be jealous of those of Ceglie-Messapica, Martina-Franca, Cisternino, Francavilla and many others of its illustrious neighbours. It stands in a dominant position on its hill, looking down on fields of thousand-year-old olive trees as well as almond trees, with the sea as a distant backdrop. All cooking enthusiasts on the Salento peninsula are drawn to “Gia Sotto l'Arco”. Following in its footsteps, numerous restaurants have opened here, offering the best of olive oils, fish, meat, fruit and vegetables as well as local wines. This particular house is 50 m from the clock tower and just a stone’s throw from the Dentice-di-Frasso castle, now the property of the town and used for numerous events throughout the year. The stone from which the house is built comes partly from the medieval ramparts that once defended the town. The odds are that, in addition to the pleasure of living in this perfectly restored house, the investment will be profitable over time, not to mention the possibility of seasonal renting which would provide a comfortable income.

Built in several phases, the house consists of an initial building dating back to 1851, flanked by two advanced sections, to which a second living unit was added on the west side in 1870, rhythmically accented by a turret. The facade, whose light coating reveals the visible bricks, is animated by balconies, two greenhouses, a raised porch topped with a canopy, and a large terrace. Further on, there is the caretaker's house, which has an independent access, and various outbuildings.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye (89)
In Burgundy, in the land of Colette, 2 hours from Paris, a Belle Époque seaside-style villa set on just over 1 hectare. Along the marked paths, groves appear, an open landscape enlivened by numerous roads lined with undergrowth, ponds, forests, and small hills. A varied and hilly countryside, where peaceful little roads wind through. A double wrought iron gate marks the entrance to the park, where a direct access from the road leads to a curved driveway that loops in front of the house, placed in the center, then continues towards the outbuilding at the back; a second independent access serves a parking space that can accommodate up to ten cars. The forest borders the property. An old well remains that could be reused. The villa was said to have been built during the Roaring Twenties at the initiative of a wealthy Mexican for a woman close to him. Local tradition states that he happened to arrive at the station of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye before acquiring the land. The main entrance is marked by its antique columns that support a niche, a pear-shaped baluster railing, and a door topped with a semicircular glass transom. Facing southwest, built on a basement and raised to three levels, the building adopts an asymmetrical composition. Its main volume, coated in a light shade, is topped with a slate gabled roof, punctuated by dormer windows. A square tower, slightly out of line, occupies one corner and features a covered belvedere. The facade is rhythmically patterned with large arched windows at the ground floor, extended by a continuous balcony at the upper level, protected by an ornate metal railing. On the first floor, two paired windows open onto small projecting balconies.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool and garden Angers (49)
30 minutes from Saumur, with outbuildings, an honor courtyard and gardens, a village dwelling from the 16th century listed as a historical monument. Flanked by two local stone pillars, an entrance gate opens onto a gravel courtyard. The imposing silhouette of the manor rises in front, with a wing of outbuildings on one side and the beginning of a garden that surrounds the building on the other. The latter dates from the 16th century, but its origins are older, as evidenced by the walls of its north and south gables, extended by later and smaller buildings. Built of stone rubble and coated with lime, the dwelling is three stories high, including an attic. The roof is made of Angers slate. At the center of the front facade, a pentagonal tower hides the entrance and a staircase, with four bays on either side, two of which are with mullions. The frames of the door and the bays are adorned with prismatic moldings and flamboyant friezes. A square tower at right angles punctuates the rear facade. Transformed into a farm for over two centuries, the whole has been saved from ruin by the current occupants. The renovation work undertaken has been carried out in accordance with craftsmanship standards. The facades, roofs, and two chimneys from the 15th century have been listed as historical monuments since 1987.This description has been automatically translated from French.
