Apartment Enfants Rouges - Paris 3ʳᵈ (75)
A 69-m² flat with two bedrooms, facing a quiet courtyard, on the rue de Bretagne, in the heart of the Marais. In a meticulously maintained commonhold building on the rue de Bretagne, within immediate proximity to the Marché des Enfants-Rouges, the flat gives on to a courtyard, planted with trees, surrounded by recently cleaned façades and immersed in absolute peace and quiet. With a floor area of approximately 69 m², it is located on the 3rd floor and accessible via a lift, while its double-door entrance opens on to a small foyer with a lavatory, followed by a kitchen. From the foyer, glass double doors provide access to a living room and a dining room, of approximately 25 m², with hardwood floors and a floor-to-ceiling height of 2.8 metres, whereas a perpendicular hallway leads to a bathroom with a bathtub and a washbasin, as well as two bedrooms with hardwood floors, which measure approximately 10 m² and 15 m², respectively. In addition, the flat is sold with a cellar, but does require some light remodelling, such as reconfiguring the kitchen’s layout and renovating the bathroom.

Castle Fareins (01)
A 17th-century chateau and its 39-hectare estate listed as a historic monument 30 minutes from Lyon. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, and accessible via a drawbridge, the chateau's architecture is distinctive due to its perfect symmetry. It has three storeys, with cellars and attic space in the main central part of the building. This part is flanked on either side by two wings, each topped by a hipped roof with rolled eaves, and by two projecting corner towers topped by square-based convex arched roofs, also with rolled eaves. The north and south facades of the main building have large mullioned windows with small panes, with seven windows from the ground floor to the second floor. The slate, hipped roof of the main building features three pediment dormers to the north and south - one in the centre with an arched pediment and the others with a triangular pediment. On either side, the windows on the wings and towers are the same type and height as those on the main building. The roofs are different. Some of them need renovation - those above the towers and the central building. If the building’s shape seems is surprising and the size of the wings seems modest compared to that of the central body, it is because the body houses a very large former Calvinist temple on the second floor, illuminated by seven windows on each facade. It was one of the 'fief temples' that France tolerated on its territory after the Edict of Nantes, on condition that they remained discreet. Three dormer windows to the south and north, unique because of their unusual size and their Holy Trinity symbols, were and remain, the only external sign of this on the building. A moat surrounds the chateau and the outbuildings. The property is enhanced by outbuildings such as a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse with a swimming pool in its walled square courtyard. Lastly, a fountain consisting of a basin adorned by three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte stands in the centre of a circular pool, beyond a large terraced flowerbed, in front of the chateau’s south facade.

House Saint-Brieuc (22)
A listed historical monument, 16th-century manor with 6 hectares of grounds, in the sector of Saint-Brieuc, less than 10 minutes from the town of Quintin. The small road leading to the property is lined with relatively well spread-out trees that become denser to almost create a tunnel of foliage, after which the manor, which has been listed as a historical monument since 1967, proudly stands in the middle of a clearing surrounded by dense forest. Opposite, the manor, a vast meadow expands outwards towards the surrounding woodland. The main entrance is especially imposing due to the place’s fortified character in the past. A carriage gate accompanied by an arched pedestrian gate are both made of granite and fitted with wrought-iron railings. They open into the once enclosed courtyard. On either side, the former fortifications include several stone outbuildings: a workshop, a covered area, a log store, a former pigsty and a bread oven. According to the local archives, there was previously a drawbridge that stood astride a dry moat. The manor possesses a rectangular layout, topped by a gabled slate roof. The façade is made of rough-hewn blocks of granite, with ashlar door and window frames. There is also a monumental opening known as “the door of justice” boasting two columns with square capitals. It marked the entrance to the farmyard where yesteryear the lord of the realm exercised his right to administer justice. To the rear, the walls are covered with Virginia creeper that has slowly spread out over the building as time has gone by. The house boasts a panoramic view of the flowery and tree-filled south-facing grounds, tucked away from prying eyes.

Land Gâmbia (Portugal)
In the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, a 44-hectare site with nine dilapidated buildings in need of restoration. The Sado Estuary Nature Reserve has its own rules.

Nine buildings in ruins, some 1,033 m² of floor space approved by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests. Rural tourism, an exclusive retreat, a private residence or an agricultural project – the possible uses are numerous, but the location itself is unique. Setúbal is 20 minutes away, Lisbon 45.

Manor Cedovim (Portugal)
In the Upper Douro Valley, an 18th-century Baroque palace set in some 16 hectares of farmland. Some houses hold secrets. This one has kept one for two centuries: in 1813, a young noblewoman known as ‘the Dove’ leapt out of one of these windows at dawn to flee with a British officer. Her family launched an armed pursuit across the whole of Portugal. She never returned. These windows are still there. The Baroque palace, with a rectangular layout, covers some 1,475 m² of built area on 16 hectares of land in the Upper Douro, devoted to vineyards, olive groves and almond trees. Listed as a site of public interest since 1977, the building is in need of a restoration befitting its history.

House Tavira (Portugal)
In Tavira, in the Algarve, an early 20th-century mansion of around 500 m² has been restored in the historic centre. The historic centre of Tavira, with its narrow streets, saddle-back roofs and azulejo-clad façades, has stood the test of time with quiet dignity. Here, an early 20th-century mansion stands as one of its finest examples. Ten years of disuse have not taken their toll on the parquet floors, the stucco and wooden ceilings, the shutters or the double-height ceilings. The restoration followed the same approach. Two self-contained studios on the ground floor, three living rooms, a library, two suites and two bedrooms upstairs. A courtyard, a terrace. 500 m² that time had set aside.

Private mansion Dinan (22)
In Dinan, just steps from the historic center, a bourgeois house from the 19th century has been renovated, along with its park of more than 1200 m². The property is surrounded by other old bourgeois homes as well as small apartment buildings. It is bordered by a high stone wall and, on the street side, by a low wall topped with wrought iron grills featuring scrollwork and spear tips. The small gate leads to a south-facing inner courtyard, partly lawned, with a gravel pedestrian path. Built at the end of the 19th century, the house includes a slightly elevated ground floor, topped by a square floor and an attic level. The facade is organized into three bays, one of which is offset, topped by a pavilioned roof. The masonry is made of mixed rubble and dressed granite stone, with carved frames around the openings and horizontal dripstones between the levels. Two tall chimneys are integrated into the gable walls. The entire structure is topped with a four-sided slate roof, with zinc ridges, accentuated by a frieze and wrought iron finials, and pierced by dormer windows with triangular pediments. The pavilion of the offset bay breaks the simplicity of the construction with its very steeply pitched four-sided roof, featuring the same type of dormer window.

House Angers (49)
30 minutes from Angers, in a village on the banks of the Loire, a Renaissance house with guest houses, outbuildings, and a formal garden. A village lane serves the different accesses to the property, which was once a priory belonging to the Abbey of Fontevraud, as attested by a plaque still visible on one of the walls. The main porch, made of tuffeau, arched and molded, opens onto a gravel courtyard that extends into a formal garden. The house is elevated over three levels, including an attic, and is built of rubble stone and tuffeau. The main wing is flanked by a square corner tower and a square façade tower that houses the staircase. The front façade is extended by a loggia that is accessed from the courtyard via a schist stone staircase with a solid tuffeau railing. A bread oven is backed against the west gable. The arrangement of the roofs, all slate, is remarkable: a single slope supported by a detached tuffeau column for the loggia, a double slope pierced with dormers for the main body of the house, a triple slope for the bread oven, and a four-slope design for the two towers. Impressive tuffeau gargoyles, depicting a griffin at the back and a reclining dog at the front, extend the decorative features of the west gable. The courtyard also distributes an outbuilding that serves as a garage, one of the two guest houses, and an entrance pavilion near the pedestrian door. At the back of the formal garden stands the second guest house with a washhouse on one side, and on the other side, a covered area with a workshop. Beyond that, the park borders the surrounding countryside. At the back of the outbuilding, two terraced levels separated by a wall run along the courtyard and the formal garden. They are both connected to the lane. Stables and a greenhouse are located on the upper terrace. The property is enclosed by walls except for the part facing the countryside. All the buildings have undergone extensive restoration work, and some are labeled by the Heritage Foundation.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Mas L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (84)
In Vaucluse, overlooking the country of Sorgues and its illustrious Isle, the former farmhouse of the Baudet de Sade from the 17th century, with its basins and Italian-style park. Formerly a large agricultural estate from the 17th and 18th centuries composed of terraces irrigated by springs, it has retained a significant farmhouse in a right-angled return built against the rock to the north, dominating the valley below. The building bears witness to particular care taken with the facades facing the courtyard, notably its main façade coated with ochre lime, pierced with slightly arched openings as well as the main entrance door aligned with an old dovecote that tops the canal-tile roofs. The secondary section displays an equally elegant design featuring two wide and high paired arches pierced towards the courtyard, while showcasing contemporary embellishments at the first floor on the former hayloft of the estate. The built ensemble is in perfect harmony with the terraced topography, providing to the south and west broad landscaped terraces, while to the east a flower bed arranged on the largest platform at the valley bottom offers a remarkable perspective, enhanced by the alignment on the upper terrace of 27 monoliths supporting a trellis. The whole formed by the buildings and the particularly careful landscaping (even staging the ruins of an orange grove) accentuates the theatricality of the sites nestled in a fold of the Vaucluse foothills and the wooded slopes of the valley, evoking the refuge of Petrarch in the Vallis Clausa that he cherished.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool Chambourcy (78)
On the hill of Chambourcy, an old fortified house of 400 m² of living space, with a swimming pool, on a plot of 1,200 m². The residence was originally a fortified farm built at the beginning of the 13th century by the Poissy family, who then ruled over the region of 'Pincerais'. This included the fiefs of Chambourcy, Orgeval, and Maison. The initial construction formed a square of 50 m on each side surrounded by water-filled moats and flanked by four corner towers. Over the centuries, the building has undergone several transformations to become a residence of nearly 400 m² spread over three levels, with five bedrooms and the possibility of adding more. At the back is a large garden of over 800 m², equipped with a swimming pool adjacent to a park, and at the front, a paved courtyard of about 80 m². Positioned high on the slope of the hill, the house overlooks the hillside. The thick walls of the facades are covered with a light plaster, and the roof is made of old flat tiles. The whole area covers nearly 1,200 m². It is part of a co-ownership that includes four lots. The common areas consist solely of access paths to the four houses.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Arnac-Pompadour (19)
Close to Pompadour, a 17th-century manor in the pedestrian heart of a village, completely restored, with its outbuildings and landscaped areas. From the square of the village's parish church, bordered by a processional cross, the southern entrance of the property, composed of outbuildings with steep roofs covered in Allassac slate, is closed by a tall wooden gate, pierced by a pedestrian door and adorned with clovers. It is also surrounded by a stone vault with a sculpted stone medallion, giving the whole an appearance of a wall, harmoniously integrated into the architectural environment dominated by the 16th-century church, with its typical comb-shaped bell tower. Fully enclosed by walls, the inner courtyard organizes the domestic life of the small estate and allows movement sheltered from any disturbance to the manor, whose horizontally arranged façade closes off the square of domestic buildings while allowing access to the double-terrace gardens. A communal path runs along the property on its western side and provides pedestrian access to the courtyard. A carriage entrance is also located at the bottom of the garden. The long house on two levels, pierced with numerous small-paneled windows, is a rectangular building with a gabled roof, punctuated by five sloping dormers and topped with three chimney stacks. The embedded stone coats of arms testify to the historical affiliation of the manor with the lordship of Chabrignac, whose count’s castle, famous for having once hosted the last empress of Annam, abuts the property lines.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House Chateau-gontier (53)
A Renaissance manor listed as a historical monument with a moat, outhouses and 20 hectares of grounds, in France’s Haut-Anjou province, 25 minutes from the town of Château-Gontier. In the middle of the estate, two driveways lined with oaks and linden trees lead to a rectangular court. Different buildings stand around it. Most of the facades are more or less south-facing. On the west side, there is the manor’s old section, which dates back to the 12th century. Its height was raised in the 14th century and a new section was built on its north side at a right angle to it with a square staircase tower linking the two parts. The two rectangular wings each have a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. They are made of rubble schist and sandstone with pointing of lime and ochre sand. Slate tiles cover the roofs. Brick chimney stacks rise up from these roofs. The elevations of the two sections were redesigned in the 16th century.

On the east side of the court, there is a large L-shaped outhouse. And there are two annexes in line with the manor’s old section, immediately south of it. To the north of the court, there is a former moat that runs along the northern elevation of the manor’s large section. The manor and its outbuildings are surrounded by a tree-dotted garden.

Manor L'Isle-Adam (95)
An immense and stately Anglo-Norman dwelling from the 1930s, to be renovated, on 14-hectare grounds, thirty minutes west of Paris. Commissioned in 1938 by Aristide Quillet, a publisher, mayor of the village and a major local donor, on the site of a former farm known as “The Dwelling”, the impressive manor house overlooks the countryside from its slightly elevated in position. Facing the grounds, with its meadows and woods, and enjoying unobstructed views of the valley, its Anglo-Norman architecture, understated and well proportioned, gracefully combines limestone, exposed timber framing and a multi-pitched roof. Quillet, who was so attached to this site that he invested a significant amount of his wealth in it, created a property that still reflects the careful attention he paid to striking a perfect balance between comfort, elegance and the surrounding natural setting. As for the three-storey main building, it is cadenced by protruding foreparts, balconies and patios facing the grounds, whereas a caretaker’s cottage, stone garages and a swimming pool, on the outskirts of a clearing, are located below the manor house and off to the side.
