Listed private mansion with garden Valognes (50)
An 18th century mansion house and its garden, both listed as French Historic monuments, in the so-called “Little Norman Versailles” on the Cotentin Peninsula. Administrative capital of the Cotentin Peninsula from the Middle-Ages through to the 18th century, Valognes is a royal town and an important legal centre. As of the reign of Louis XIV, the flourishing town saw the construction of a large number of mansion houses, of which about forty or so still exist today. The “Hôtel Dorléans” stands slightly set back off a square, on the corner of a street. On the side, a large gateway, decorated with protruding quoins, opens into a paved courtyard that borders the rear facade and a stairway tower. Two stairways provide access to a garden laid out on a higher level than the house. A double garage can be reached via an adjacent street.

Private mansion Tarascon (13)
A small eighteenth-century town house with a patio, nestled on a calm, elegant street in the heart of the old Provençal town of Tarascon. From the fifteenth century, the prosperity of Tarascon drew many families: aristocrats as much as merchants and upper middle classes. Clergymen also came. These newcomers built grand private houses: they were keen to leave their mark on the town. The town houses of Tarascon often display rich architectural embellishments in the style of Provençal Mannerism, which dominated in the seventeenth century. But some of these town houses were also plain and small. Since the Middle Ages, town houses have been defined as simply urban dwellings occupied by single owners, so their size does not really determine their category. It was mainly from the eighteenth century onwards that small town houses – those with a floor area of less than 300m² – were built along commercial streets within Tarascon itself, where they were sheltered from the cold mistral wind of winter and from the hot sun of summer. They were made for wealthy merchants rather than for nobility and their style differs to that of grand, sumptuous palaces. The bombings of the Second World War damaged Tarascon but left almost all these old town houses intact: these historical dwellings were not close to the town’s strategic rail line, nor to the bridge across the River Rhône. These homes were often built upon ruins from the Middle Ages or antiquity and they all adopted a similar layout. Moreover, they are all made of the same fine materials: old monk-and-nun tiling, large tiles of grey Barbentane stone, wrought-iron window railings and walls made of limestone from the quarries of Les Baux-de-Provence and Fontvieille. Furthermore, they often reused fragments of column shafts from antiquity. Indeed, reuse of materials from the old remains upon which they were built is a constant feature among them.

Private mansion with garden Poitiers (86)
A small 18th-century chateau with an adjoining house and a 3,000m² garden, nestled in a town in France’s Vienne department that draws many visitors.

The chateau then comes into view with its classical facade with two wings and a central section set back. The walls are made of local stone and partly rendered. The adjoining house and courtyard lie at the back. You reach them via a small flight of steps.
