Private mansion Uzès (30)
In Uzès, 200 meters from the Place aux Herbes, an old silk factory transformed into a characterful residence, with its enclosed garden and view of the Duchy. Elevated two stories above a garden level and oriented along a north-south axis, the former silk factory, covering an area of approximately 420 m², was built by the wealthy bourgeoisie of Uzès on an avenue that was once opened and developed for show. The houses, with facades made of regular Vers stonework, were reserved for the local nobility or the wealthy commercial bourgeoisie of the city. The cornices marking the separation between the floors and the frames of the openings are also sculpted from Vers stone, whose immediately identifiable characteristic is its light and bright blonde color. Pierced with wide openings spaced far apart on three levels, the former sericulture building has been transformed into a characterful residence. The double-glazed windows are fitted with four-panel wooden shutters painted white. On the ground floor, facing the boulevard, the entrance door is located at the edge of a garden of approximately 1,300 m², enclosed to the north by a long wall that runs along the street, which protects the property and maintains its tranquility intact. The sculpted cornice at the eave supports a roof covered with Roman tiles, typical of the local architecture. Legend has it that this uniformity of roofs was decided after the war, at the time of Liberation, as a result of a consultation between André Malraux, then the Minister of Culture of liberated France, and the dowager duchess, a first-hour resistance fighter, who wished to see, from the windows of her ducal residence, only roofs of traditional Roman tiles. Thus, it was done.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Chateauroux (36)
In Berry, a spectacular restored fortified castle, with its hotel-level amenities. The iconic silhouette of the castle, with its tall towers and vast roofs, seems to spring from the landscape. The whole structure was built in the 15th century. Originally, the castle had 14 towers and a keep, making it one of the main fortresses in the region. During the Wars of Religion, it changed hands between Protestant families. By order of Richelieu, it was partially dismantled to weaken the Huguenot stronghold. Today, seven towers still remain. Deeply restored in 1850, on the advice of the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc, the castle has undergone a complete and very careful rehabilitation over the past thirty years. Several of its towers and even the keep retain original frameworks, which is remarkable given the transformations that occurred over the centuries. All walls are made of rough stone coated to show the stone. The facade of the keep and the crenellated parts of the entrance gate towers are made of cut stone. The keep, the living quarters, and four of the seven towers are topped with high slate roofs, with steep slopes. The other towers have flat roofs concealed by a crown of crenellations. A little away from the building, outbuildings are grouped around several courtyards. The park descends towards the river. The swimming pool has been set up on a grassy terrace, and the tennis court is discreetly sheltered behind an outbuilding. The commanding position of the estate offers an extensive view of the surrounding landscape.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Private mansion Le Mans (72)
In Le Mans, close to the city center and the train station, a 19th-century residence with its tree-filled and enclosed park. Between two streets, in a row of typically Mancelle houses, the property is surrounded by high stone walls. Trees define the back of the plot. At the front, past a gate, a large paved courtyard of the old style leads to an ancillary building on one side and then to a second outbuilding that serves as a parking area. In a T-shaped layout and rising three levels, including an attic, the house is topped with a slate roof. Access is from the street via a few steps bordered by a wide railing. The main facade is rhythmically marked by subtle material contrasts that highlight its verticality. The corner chains and window frames alternate between red brick and light limestone. Small balconies punctuate the building, and a wrought iron awning protects the entrance. A lateral projection is topped by a high gable with protruding rafters. The windows are tall and narrow. The rear facade features the same architectural gesture. A large southeast-facing terrace runs along this part and overlooks the newly lawned garden. At the back of the park, a garage is accessible from another street.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An 18th-century Italian-style chateau with tree-dotted grounds and a swimming pool, 50 minutes from Toulouse. The property extends over 1.5 hectares; its history spans nine centuries. It comprises a chateau consisting of an avant-corps and a prominent wing, an independent building with several vaulted rooms at its base, a terrace overlooking the parklands with a long swimming pool bordered by an annex, the caretaker's cottage of approx. 100 m² and a 1930 theatre. The main entrance is through the east gate. Framed by two high brick pillars topped by terracotta pinecones, the large automated gate opens onto a gravel courtyard providing parking for several vehicles. To the left, a path runs across a generously wooded stretch of garden, winding its way down to the lower part of the grounds. Two stone sphinxes and several terracotta putti adorn the balustrade of the first terrace. In the south-east corner of the terrace stands an independent square 15th-century lodge, parts of which are listed. Several doors to the right of the entrance provide direct access from the courtyard to the main section of the chateau. To the west of the property, a more discreet gate leads to the other part of the grounds. To the right, the elongated swimming pool is bordered by an annexe building with brick and pebble walls, a technique traditionally used in the region. A terrace hidden from view stretches out from this building. The driveway leads to a large terrace with a terracotta tile floor offering a panoramic view over the wooded valley.

Private mansion Quimper (29)
In the midst of Quimper, a mansion house to be renovated, home and workshop of architect Gustave-Bigot . This mansion house is set in the peace and quiet of a back street, some 200 metres from the town’s historic centre, equidistant and very near to the Odet and Steir embankments. Completed in 1890, it was the work, the home and the workshop of local architect, Gustave-Bigot. His father Joseph, before him, had predominantly worked in Finistère and, notably, added the two neo-gothic spires to Saint-Corentin cathedral in 1854. This building stands, classically set back, on a public street. Facing east-west, it spans three levels and has a completely private, landscaped garden.

Apartment with terrace Paris 16ᵗʰ (75)
The last three floors of an Art Deco private mansion, with an immense terrace, on a quiet street perpendicular to the Seine, in the 16th arrondissement. Erected in 1925 for the composer Pierre Onfroy de Bréville by Charles Abella, who had won second prize at the Prix de Rome in 1907, the building’s façade features faux stone on the first floor, followed by red brick, decorated with a stringcourse with geometrical patterns between the second and third floors as well as details in homage to its commissioner. Above the entrance, a window is safeguarded by a wrought-iron grill depicting an antique lyre, while two sets of arched glass double doors on the first floor are topped with musical allegories: a cicada musician “born” on a pan flute and another on an aulos – the double flute used by the ancient Greeks. Inside, an immense entrance hall contains a stone staircase that provides access to the first floor where the front door to the dwelling is located. Once across the threshold, an interior staircase ascends to the second floor where a large dual-aspect living room gives on to a terrace of more than 30 m², while the kitchen is located in a conservatory created in 2024, two sides of which open on to the terrace. As for the third floor, it includes three bedrooms and a study as well as two shower rooms and a bathroom, whereas the fourth floor features a dual-aspect drawing room of approximately 50 m², which gives on to a large balcony. This room, which was created after an additional floor was added in 2024, could be divided up and adapted depending on the needs of its future residents, while a private and well-maintained basement, of more than 100 m², could be transformed into a number of different uses, such as a music studio, a fitness room or a spa, and a garage of nearly 18 m² in the building is available for purchase separately.

Private mansion Angers (49)
In the centre of Angers, a 400-m² townhouse, with one studio, a two-room apartment, a garage and a garden to the rear. A city centre street runs past the main façade of the house and leads to an entrance door and carriage gate.

Private mansion with garden Saumur (49)
In the center of Saumur, a residence with its school and swimming pool. From a quiet street with remarkable architecture, an ancient path of the laundresses, a wrought iron gate opens onto a planted courtyard, around which the residence and the former school are organized. The property is backed by the ramparts and the walkway of the historic center. Over the centuries, it has been the seat of a great local family, whose members were ennobled and contributed to the defense of the city during the Fronde. The prosperous periods of trade, reinforced by advantageous alliances and marriages, have left the building with a rich painted decor, still visible today.The site was sold to the municipality in 1890 to become the Jules Ferry school, with accommodations for teachers, classrooms, and a refectory. It first operated as a girls' school, then for boys, before playing a role in the life of the unions. Every year, during Heritage Days, the building is highlighted and remains an emblematic place of the city's working-class history. Two tourist lodgings have been created beside the main building.This description has been automatically translated from French.

House with pool Verdun-sur-Garonne (82)
40 minutes from Toulouse, a 16th-century village house with galleries, an inner courtyard, and a swimming pool. Ideally located between Toulouse and Montauban, the residence is situated in the heart of the medieval historic center. Overlooking a quiet square and facing east, its main facade features a large semicircular arch that once housed the storefront of an old shop. Today, it frames a blue-painted wooden front door. Worn by five centuries of comings and goings, a stone marks the threshold of the home. Built in an L shape and oriented east-west, the house rises three levels above two basements and is protected by tiled roofs with two or three slopes, crowned by four chimney stacks. It features half-timbered and fired brick facades typical of the vernacular or bourgeois architecture of Quercy and, beyond that, a large part of the South-West of France. Resulting from the merging of three former buildings, the house, which has an area of over 390 m², is divided into volumes connected by a unique gallery. These levels include six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two water closets, while the first floor traditionally gathers the living and reception rooms. A plant-filled inner courtyard complemented by a swimming pool offers its occupants a sheltered outdoor space, away from the city's noise and overlooking.

Castle Florac Trois Rivières (48)
A castrum with a château, farm building and outbuildings surrounded by 13 hectares of woodland overlooking the valley, in Florac, in the south of the Lozère department . Situated in a dominant position on its rocky spur, the château with its crenelations can be seen from afar. The first foundations date back to the 12th century, but the current building probably dates back to the 15th century, when the fiefdom came under the control of the Bishop of Mende. It passed through various families through marriage and, in the 18th century, was damaged and then sold at auction during the Revolution. Acquired at the beginning of the 20th century, it has remained in the same family, who have maintained it as a holiday home until the present day. The 300-metre-long path leading to the property arouses curiosity and does not reveal its secrets until the last minute. The path opens out onto a magnificent view and the plain, which highlight the main building and the scene worthy of a painting. Built in heavy, unplastered local schist, with thick walls, the château has a certain austerity about it, typical of the Cévennes. The architecture retains characteristic traces from its origins, in particular cross windows and arched doors, while a remnant of a parapet walk enlivens the north façade. The layout of the windows is fairly regular, with ashlar surrounds and corner quoins, and small-paned windows. Built slightly below and not overlooked, the 'Bancels' farmhouse occupies the southern slope. It includes a renovated house. Finally, the small house 'la Gleyzette', with an independent access is slightly below to the west. The façades are made up of a schist bonding, only rendered on the dwelling that closes off the farm building to the west, with mostly straight windows of varying sizes. The roofs are of two slopes with lauze tiles. The uniqueness and unity of the estate can be seen immediately, and the absence of neighbours and low visibility from outside translate into peace and quiet for its occupants.

Private mansion Uzerche (19)
A 15th-century bailiff’s house, refurbished in the 17th century, with its enclosed garden in the historic city of Uzerche in the Corrèze department. Along the main road that borders the western side of the city’s ancient ramparts, scattered with garden patios and overlooking the gorges of the Vézère River, private mansions and chateaus bear witness to this town’s former administrative power – the result of its loyalty to the Kingdom of France – which then only increased once it was promoted to a seneschalty in the 16th century. Today, the town’s centre is meticulously maintained with urban amenities that highlight the unity of its architectural heritage. Initially composed of two contiguous buildings, the three-story house, with common walls on either side, is now one unified private mansion, but has kept both its front doors in order to facilitate circulation. Facing east and the street, the house’s rubble stone façade with brushed lime plaster has been the subject of many adjustments over the centuries by the village’s royal officers, known as the “culs blancs” (“white pants”), and is punctuated by two low-arched picture windows that alternate between the two front doors. The first door, under a Gothic arch, still has its solid studded double door, while its tympanum is safeguarded by stately ironwork; the second entrance is more modest with a single door and a fanlight protected by bars. With their vaulted appearance, these large, ancient windows and doors enliven the façade without disrupting the overall harmony of the rest of its ornamental features. On the first floor, moulded ashlar stone typical of the late 15th and early 16th centuries surrounds three deep-set windows with shutters. Rectangular in shape and identical, two of them precede, on the right, a third window topped by an ogee lintel with four moulded baguettes. Crowned with Allassac slate, in excellent condition, and rounded dormer windows, the house has a mansard roof on one side and a gabled one on the other. In addition, on its western and rear façade, a vast patio atop archways communicates with the living rooms on the ground floor and overlooks the grounds’ terraced gardens. This façade is punctuated by large wood-framed windows, which provide the various rooms with dual-aspect sunlight all day long. Lastly, on the other side of the street, an outbuilding has enough room to park one vehicle.

Private mansion Uzès (30)
A vast, 17th century, stately residence adjoining a fuedal castle on the outskirts of Uzès. This vast, comfortable 17th century mansion house was built on the site of the old tower belonging to Uzès’ Duke of Crussol. Facing the current village castle, its site is reminiscent of the wonderful homes of the numerous lords surrounding the Duchy of Uzès. Topped with a dovecote, visible from afar and bearing witness to the fact that its co-owners were lords, this residence is set out around a little courtyard, bordered by an old road leading inside the ramparts of the fortress, now transformed into a little Mediterranean garden amidst the surrounding towers and buildings. The two, south and north-facing buildings are connected by two covered balcony corridors on the first and second levels laid out around the courtyard. The wide, symmetrical, south facade, overlooking the pedestrian square, has two completely different facings. The ground floor is composed of simply hewn limestone blocks, whilst the first and second levels are constituted from dressed molasse (a type of sandstone), embellished here and there with limestone, particularly for the cornice enhancing the four large windows on the first level, the lintels of which outline the arches. The small-paned, casement windows fitted with double folding shutters on the first or noble floor elegantly contrast with the simplicity of the openings on the ground floor, on either side of the impressive, rusticated masonry entrance door. The eaves protrude over small windows aligned with those on the first level. The facades on the courtyard side are very similar in appearance, except that the entire ground floor is composed of arcades, just like the Place-aux-Herbes in Uzès, and that the north building features two mullioned windows on its south and west sides. All the roofs are covered with old Roman tiles.

Private mansion Auxerre (89)
In Burgundy, an hour and ten minutes from Paris, an 18th century mansion house. This mansion house stands in the midst of extensive wooded, enclosed parklands in the middle of the town. Spiked, wrought iron gates open into parklands, laid out in a French formal manner and bordered by old walls, pleasantly covered with wisteria and vines. In front of the residence is a parterre planted with old roses. Various species of tall trees, over a hundred years old, set the tone. Behind the building is a small, medieval vegetable garden, planted with different herbs. Historical background This mansion house was built in 1780 as part of the major urban planning works, including the construction of the town hall and the development of the banks of the river Yonne, that took place in the town in the 18th century. A middle-class home, it stands but a few metres from the political and military decision-making centres and accommodated such illustrious characters as Prince Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, oldest son of King Louis-Philippe. A private ball was held in his honour in the mansion house’s staterooms. This historic property was then lived in by Fernand-Schneider, a great military character, one of whose sons married one of the daughters of Jacques-Chaband-Delmas. The Schneider family remained here until 2010.
