Apartment Paris 1ˢᵗ (75)
A Parisian apartment renovated by an interior designer, nestled at the back of an edifice's calm inner court in the French capital's 1st arrondissement. The edifice’s plain facade reflects the classical Parisian architectural style of the 19th century. Its ashlar facing is remarkably well maintained. This facade is a token of the splendid building’s construction quality. The windows are spaced out evenly. They are fitted with wrought-iron guardrails with fine motifs that are typical of the edifice’s time of construction. The covered entrance, framed between two stone pilasters, leads into a paved inner court, which adds to the secrecy of this haven. The facade, which is timeless in style and impeccably maintained, echoes the calm, refined ambience of the apartment it hides inside. The apartment lies in the second building, at the back of a court dotted with plants. This secret haven of tranquillity is a rare asset in such a central district of Paris. A covered entrance takes you to the edifice. Beyond a gate, you get to a cosy open-air space where a lodge houses the letterboxes. A door that has an intercom and is fitted for security leads into the building. The apartment lies up on the first floor. You reach it via a staircase or a lift. The landing here connects to only two dwellings. The apartment offers an 88m² floor area. It was renovated by an interior designer in 2019. The delightful dwelling masterfully combines historical charm with modern touches. Right from the entrance hall and in all the other rooms, oak chevron parquet or oak strip flooring extends across the home. On the left, there is a shower room with a shower and lavatory. Just beyond it, there is a little room that could serve as an office or even as a small first bedroom. Straight ahead from the entrance hall, there is the second bedroom: the master bedroom – a haven of calm that looks out at the inner court. On the right, there is the lounge – the dwelling’s centrepiece. This splendid lounge has exposed ceiling beams and a working fireplace with a white marble mantel. In-built storage spaces and bookshelves line the walls. Beyond the lounge, there is a fitted kitchen. It blends into the apartment discreetly and harmoniously. On the left, a door leads into a third bedroom. It has an en-suite bathroom with white tiles and a black and white mosaic floor. This bathroom has a window and a lavatory. A fourth bedroom can also be reached from the lounge. It has its own private shower room and lavatory. The apartment’s well-designed layout would be perfect for a family, yet each occupant can enjoy their own privacy too.

House with garden and terrace Cotignac (83)
A chateau and its outbuildings set in a vast 160 ha estate comprising plains, forests, olive groves and vineyards in the heart of Green Provence. The chateau comes into view at the end of a long drive winding through a lush green plain with vineyards, olive groves and streams. A long driveway lined with box hedges leads to the residence and splits into two symmetrical tracks surrounding a large lawned garden with an oval pool at its centre featuring koi carp. The atmosphere calls to mind a noble Italian villa, dominating the vineyards and nearby olive groves. Four large plane trees rise above the south-facing terrace, providing shade and freshness all summer long. A flight of steps takes you down to a large lawn below. The outbuildings are within easy reach, scattered around the chateau while retaining their independence and discretion. The buildings are of dry stone, typical of the region. The main facade of the chateau is rendered in ochre roughcast, with darker, slightly projecting window surrounds and cream-coloured stone sills. There are twelve arched openings on each of the two storeys of the south-facing elevation, with original casement and French windows illuminating the rooms. Two square towers flank the main facade to the east and west of the structure. There is a chapel alongside the eastern end of the building. The wooden main entrance door has a cream-coloured stone surround and is topped by a transom with an intricate wrought-iron grille. The hallway is accessed via a stone step.

Castle Brive-la-Gaillarde (19)
A 13th-century chateau, its outbuildings and feudal vestiges between Brive-la-Gaillarde and the foothills of the White Périgord region. From the hamlet’s small square, a 150-metre no-through road, framed on either side by large outbuildings that partially mask the property, provides access to the chateau’s court of honour via a wrought-iron gate flanked by stone pillars. The property’s enclosure walls, the round tower with its Renaissance dormer window and the crystallised ruins of an ancient lookout tower, are the remaining vestiges of the early chateau dating from 1226, which was expanded in the 15th century with the construction of the three-storey main building and its square tower, and then restored in 1650, this last phase being accompanied by the construction of the mansard roof outbuildings as well. Facing east to west, the barlong-shaped main building has a hipped roof flanked on opposite corners by two towers, one round and topped with a pepperpot roof and the other square with a pavilion roof. The three-storey façades of this classical-style dwelling, in lime-pointed rubble stone, are cadenced by many tall casement cross-windows with ashlar stone surrounds. The façade also has two sets of double glass doors with semi-circular spoked fanlights as well as two bull’s-eye windows, and is topped with a rounded dormer window on one side, which dynamically highlights a central row of windows. Two monumental chimneys rise up from this side of the roof as well, while the towers’ façades are punctuated by small windows, oculi and glass doors. All the windows and doors are safeguarded by single or double-leaf wooden shutters, with the exception of the mullion dormer window topped with a triangular pediment and a pinnacle that crowns the vertical row of windows on the chateau’s northern gable end. With two hectares of land, the property’s buildings were all constructed out of blond limestone and topped with Allassac slate roofs. Adjacent to the round tower and extending on from the main dwelling, a two-storey outbuilding, used mainly as housing, faces a triangular domestic outbuilding, which encloses the grand courtyard on one side. The latter is extended to the south by a large rectangular, landscaped patio, which provides the chateau’s western façade with a panoramic view, while from the chateau’s eastern façade, the grounds bordered by a gravel area reveal swathes of woodlands that extend towards the south. Lastly, an immense right-angle outbuilding used for agricultural purposes is located on the other side of the drive.

House with garden and terrace Beaune (21)
A complex of edifices from the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries with courts, gardens and investment buildings, nestled near the charming town of Beaune in Burgundy. The old estate comprises a number of detached buildings grouped around a shared courtyard. Most of the walls are of stone and the roofs, with a few exceptions, are clad with flat tiles. The various dwellings, although of varying heights, all have two storeys. Probably dating back to the 17th century, the oldest building on the east side of the street has half-timbered walls and features a covered gallery on the courtyard side. Continuing southwards, there is an 18th-century building with the entrance porch to the courtyard, linking it to the 17th-century house. To the north are a small house, known as the 'steward's house', and a more recent abutting barn. Also extending to the north, almost closing off the courtyard to the east, there are a number of old barns and sheds, as well as other outbuildings, used for agricultural purposes. Former stables, converted into a hay store, stand in the middle of the courtyard. The grounds, covering an area of around 2,300 m², are accessed via a track between these buildings to the north and the residential buildings to the south and east. To the south, along an east-west axis that closes off the complex, a house built in the 1920s links up with the 18th-century building to the east, which has a facade on the street side. Forming a genuine small estate, these premises are supplemented by three independent flats, of approximately 64 m², 67 m² and 97 m², respectively.

House with garden Eymoutiers (87)
A listed residence and its French formal garden overlooking the Vienne River, in the heart of a dynamic historic city, 40 minutes from Limoges. The architectural style of the house is emblematic of the important tanning industry, which was particularly active in the 17th and 18th centuries. The three-storey edifice was built in 1609 by one of the most notable families in the town. Trapezoid in plan, it has a tall roof with four flat-tiled pitches, which contains a large drying loft with wooden cladding in the form of a saltire and a central dormer window facing south. This large historic residence of approx. 320 m², spanning four storeys of cob-filled and rendered half-timbered walls, is actually the result of the combination of three houses; their ground floors and attics were used for tannery activities, whilst the two upper floors were reserved for residential purposes. The original layout has not changed over the centuries, the lodgings of the master of the house are still located on the upper floors. A gate and a wicket door on the street side open onto the 'Directoire courtyard' in front of the south elevation and lead to a French formal garden to the east. The southern facade features a dozen rectangular, stone-framed and small-paned windows. On the ground floor, there are three large, arched openings with security grilles. Four narrow windows on the northern facade overlook a small quay where a boat or canoe can be moored. Finally, the eastern facade, with a few straight windows and shutters on the first floor, is flanked by an annex with small windows and a gable roof. This projecting structure stands on thin wooden pillars.

Chalet with terrace Morzine (74)
A fully restored, authentic 18th-century chalet, opposite the mountains, in the Haute-Savoie area, 4.5 km from Morzine and 65 km from Geneva. The chalet, which was built in 1788, still boasts the construction codes typical of that era, characterised by a base made of Dranse stone beneath an upper section with weathered wood facades, topped by a gabled roof. Its southeast facade is underlined by a long balcony on the upper level, boasting remarkable views. The three-storey chalet possesses a surface of approximately 283 m², while its grounds stretch over almost 1 hectare, mainly to the north. Its lofty position offers lovely views of the woods of fir trees, especially in spring, while in winter it transforms into a veritable playground in the snow.

House with garden Centre - Montmorillon (86)
An 18th-century noble residence, with a garden and orangery, in the town-centre of Montmorillon. In a peaceful street, the house is surrounded by many other noble residences and their lush gardens. The property stands behind a monumental ashlar entrance porch, formed by an elegant semi-circular arch made up of radiating voussoirs, with a double-leaf solid wood carriage gate. In bygone days, the porch led to meadows where racehorses grazed. The main residence dates from the 18th century and for a long time belonged to a family of note in the region. The U-shaped two-storey edifice is flanked by two wings on either side, all of which are punctuated by many windows and doors overlooking the courtyard and the tree-filed garden. The roof is made of flat tiles and the window and door surrounds as well as the quoins are made of stone.

Seaside house Carovigno (Italy)
In Carovigno, Puglia, a 900 m² old farmhouse facing the sea in the heart of 28 hectares of agricultural land. Located in a protected area, this masseria stands facing the Adriatic Sea, in a setting of outstanding natural beauty. The traditional rural buildings, covering 900 m² of floor space, and 28 hectares of land offer a variety of possibilities for development: a characterful residence, a working farm or a boutique hotel. The Apulian architecture, the pale stones and the sea view create an authentic, unostentatious setting where time takes on a different dimension. Nothing here is overdone; the charm of the place works with simplicity, between centuries-old olive trees and the Mediterranean horizon, in an area where the Italian way of life preserves its rural traditions.

Listed castle Valence (26)
In the Drôme hills, a 18th-century castle with medieval origins, listed as a historic monument, along with its dependencies and park. The property presents itself as a coherent ensemble established at the center of a wooded park, slightly overlooking the road leading to the village. The castle is built according to a rectangular plan, with a tower at each corner and a square keep flanked at the north wall. Covering an area of around 720 m², it rises to four levels. The gabled roofs and old tiles testify to successive building campaigns. The facades, in stone and light ochre plaster, alternate regular openings and older openings, reflecting the evolution of the dwelling over the centuries. A straight driveway enters the park and serves the dependencies set back: former stables, orangery, barns, and woodshed, organized around a service courtyard. The tall trees form a natural shield that isolates the estate from its immediate surroundings. A large terrace extends to the south, while the landscaped park gently descends towards the low lands. The whole is conceived as a feudal domain on a contained scale, where each building occupies its place in an orderly composition.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Land Mont-de-Marsan (40)
A 17th-century castle, overhauled in the 18th and 19th centuries, with outbuildings and meadows, 1 hour 30 minutes from Bordeaux and 5 minutes a striking fortified town. In the hamlet, in the centre of which stands the castle’s former church, two solid ashlar pillars topped with eagles conclude the estate’s low walls and mark the beginning of a long drive leading to the property. On either side of the drive, vast meadows surround the buildings, forming a natural barrier between them and the small country road that leads to the medieval village of Labastide d’Armagnac. The drive leading to the property splits in two: one part finishes at the former main entrance porch dating from 1662, a vestige of the now destroyed medieval castle, while the other leads directly to the courtyard on the edifice’s esplanade, via a recently created opening in the walls. Three buildings stand around the courtyard. The two double level, oblong outbuildings are built in an L-shape and close the courtyard to the west and to the north. The main building is slightly raised, having been built on the mound of the former castle belonging to Viscount de Juliac and the illustrious families who owned it one after another, from the Malvins in 785 to the Pujolés at the time of the French Revolution. A lawned area stands to the east, opposite the residence’s reception rooms. Other buildings of more modest proportions, formerly used to house the servants, extend from the storehouse and form a small pathway between the residence’s northern façade and the outbuildings awaiting restoration. The three storeys of this 650-m² edifice are all bathed in light and boast a rational layout on the ground floor, making them ideal for welcoming guests, while the upper floors could easily be transformed to bring them into line with modern standards of comfort.

House with pool and garden Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes (84)
A traditional Provencal farmhouse and its garden of more than 8,000 m², thirty minutes from Vaison-la-Romaine in the Vaucluse department. The property is accessible via an electric gate, which opens onto an entirely enclosed and meticulously maintained garden. Once past the entrance, one’s gaze is immediately drawn to the way in which the buildings have been elegantly arranged around the property, while the stately main dwelling, abutting an immense storage shed, is characterised by its thick lime-plastered walls, which help absorb the dazzling sunlight, and its typically Provencal genoise corbels. Organised in a U shape around several outdoor spaces designed for relaxation, the farmhouse naturally hugs the property’s topography and seems to melt into the landscape in typical Provencal fashion, whereas, in true southern tradition, its north-south orientation ensures optimal sunlight and natural protection from the Mistral winds. In addition, a breath-taking Mediterranean mosaic extends around the property’s garden: rows of vineyards and olive trees create a verdant setting, while, not far from the dwelling, a rectangular swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sauna, carefully shielded from view thanks to dense hedges, provides a pleasant oasis. Lastly, a second dwelling, set back and hidden behind the main dwelling, was converted into a holiday cottage.

House with pool and garden Casteljaloux (47)
An old hunting lodge, set in a wonderful garden surrounded by forest, in the Landes-Girondines region. Preceded by two other houses, set back at a distance, the whole creates an island within the surrounding forest. Once the remote-controlled gates are open, visitors are able to appreciate a view of the garden. With its wealth of flowers, it is harmoniously laid out around the large house whose origins date back to the 16th century. It was once a convent, prior to being converted into a hunting lodge and it is said that Henri IV stayed here during his many jaunts into the region, but that is possibly a legend. As for the dwelling, with characteristic architecture thanks to its timber framing and wide gallery, it stands proudly in the middle of its garden, crisscrossed by well-tended paths.

House with garden and terrace Issigeac (24)
A 14th-century fortified house with a garden, in the Périgord Pourpre sector, 20 minutes from Bergerac, in a medieval village. This residence stands off a cobbled street that winds through the medieval depths of Issigeac, behind tall stone walls where time has left an ochre and grey patina. The three-storey main facade, made of light-yellow limestone typical of the Périgord, is topped by a roof of flat tiles. The imposingly thick original medieval walls are composed of irregular masonry, characteristic of 14th-century buildings. The facade is punctuated by deep frames housing the windows, which are sparingly distributed, in keeping with the defensive architecture of the time. On the ground floor, a wooden door painted in faded Celadon green, with a carefully constructed ashlar frame, marks the main entrance. Above it, small-paned windows in period joinery dot the facade. A hipped dormer window emerges from the roof on the attic level, while a wrought-iron streetlamp stands just in front of the residence.

House with garden and terrace Paris 17ᵗʰ (75)
A stunning triplex flat, perfect for a family, on a peaceful, private and verdant street, in the northeast of Paris’s Batignolles neighbourhood. The dwelling is located at the end of a private no-through road, whose entrance is safeguarded by an impressive wrought-iron gate accessible via an entry code, while the verdant cobblestone lane is lined by two small two-storey buildings on either side. At one end of the street, immersed in complete silence, the dwelling’s front door opens on to an immense living area, with a floor-to-ceiling height of nearly three metres, which includes a small sitting room, a dining room with access to the fitted kitchen, a guest lavatory as well as a utility room, whereas, below after descending a few wooden steps, the family room is crowned with a mezzanine that has been converted into a study. With all of its windows facing the quiet street, providing ample sunlight that showcases its dazzling white parquet floors, further on, an interior white wooden staircase, which blends in seamlessly with the rest of the dwelling’s décor, provides access to the two upper floors. The first includes the main bedroom, its adjacent bathroom and mezzanine wardrobe, as well as two other bedrooms with their private shower rooms, whereas a narrow corridor provides access to a storage area as well as a separate lavatory. As for the second floor, partially under the eaves, it contains a large room with a bathroom, which could become a dormitory, a fitness room or a game room. The Cour Saint-Pierre Set back from the city’s hubbub, the inconspicuous and almost secret Cour Saint-Pierre is accessible via a large wrought-iron gate. Thanks to its authentic cobblestones, it has preserved the physiognomy of a 19th-century artisanal community, whose low, modest exteriors provide glimpses of artist’s studios and their tenants at work, while a couple of lounge chairs, forgotten in the sun, weathered wooden tables and an abundance of teeming vegetation, provide a setting far removed from the typical Parisian landscape.

House with garden and terrace Puiseaux (45)
A characterful, renovated house with a garden and annexes, in a village in the north of France’s Loiret department, an hour and a half south of Paris. The house was built in 1850. It bears witness to an ancestral tradition in agriculture, based on winegrowing and saffron. In the village, several dwellings with monumental doors evoke life from yesteryear, before the rise of large-scale cultivation of cereal and fodder. You enter the house from a small square set back from the main street, via a covered carriage entrance or a door that leads straight inside the dwelling. The covered carriage entrance forms a link between the house and two outbuildings, which together form an L shape on a 600m² plot. A small terrace, a walled garden and a well in perfect condition complete the property. The facade is made of rubble stone with lime pointing. It features semicircular-arched wooden window frames, set behind decorative stone columns crowned with capitals. The house offers a 180m² floor area. It has a ground floor and a first floor, as well as a loft space. It forms an L shape in one of the corners of the plot. An extension, lower in height, houses a kitchen. The interior has been renovated masterfully in recent years to offer modern comfort, with home automation for the heating and alarm system, yet with historical features preserved, including exposed stonework and beams, a stone fireplace and cast-iron radiators.

House Pienza (Italy)
In the heart of the Val d'Orcia hills, a Tuscan residence and its 5 hectares of cultivated land. The roads leading to the property wind through the hills of Val d'Orcia as if crossing centuries. Time seems to have stood still in the years when buildings were constructed to last. The surrounding landscape has hardly changed since UNESCO listed it: rows of cypress trees, orderly vineyards, silvery olive trees on gentle slopes. The house retains the tranquil presence of rural Tuscan buildings: 470 square metres spread over two floors, with thick walls that have weathered the seasons. It is surrounded by five hectares of cultivated land, with vineyards, olive trees and meadows bearing witness to agricultural activity that is waiting to be revived. The equipment remains on site. A new lease of life is needed to adapt the place to current requirements while preserving its timeless character.
