House with pool and garden Toucy (89)
A former renovated farmstead with wooded grounds, a large swimming pool and panoramic views, in the Puisaye region, one hour and 45 minutes from Paris. Many small country roads skirting large oak forests wind their way through the surrounding hills and villages, made up of ancient dwellings where brick and stone are omnipresent, while, near the entrance to the hamlet, the property’s large and ornate electronic gate opens on to a gravel esplanade, large enough to accommodate vehicles. Nestled within grounds planted with tall trees, the dwelling, oriented west-east, is located near an Olympic-size swimming pool and skirted by two large terracotta tile patios: one to the east with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the other extending on southward from the first and facing the swimming pool, which stands out thanks to its size (12 x 6 metres) and excellent condition. In addition, a row of conifers conceals another swath of land and a pond, located near the property’s entrance, provides a refreshing note for the premises. Facing west and with three storeys, including an attic level, the dwelling’s main façade stands out from the others thanks to its height, while its many windows, safeguarded by solid wood shutters, provide ample light for its interior. With timber framing on one side, the dwelling’s ochre colour highlights the local brick lintels and window/door surrounds, whereas, on the ground floor, a wide door topped with a low-arched lintel and an ornamental lozenge, both made out of brick, recall the edifice’s origins as a former barn whose double-door entrance has now been turned into large wooden shutters. As for the single-storey extension, it has been added to the dwelling’s southern gable end and, under its single-pitch roof, faces the swimming pool, while the central structure is topped with a Burgundy flat tile gable roof, which is punctuated by a triangular dormer and a chimney. Featuring a living room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, followed by four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, some of the dwelling’s rooms, mainly used for technical purposes, are only accessible from the outside, while the grounds also include two small outbuildings: a chalet and a woodshed.

Apartment with terrace Paris 1ˢᵗ (75)
A bright apartment with stunning views from a continuous balcony, on Rue de Rivoli, opposite the Louvre, on the 5th floor of a building erected in 1880. The building with a stepped roof was erected in 1880 at the corner of Rue de Rivoli and Rue Jean-Tison. It boasts an ashlar facade punctuated by stringcourses, pediments and carved lintels, as well as continuous balconies on the 2nd and 5th floors supported by modillion cornices. The building is topped by a zinc roof dotted with dormer windows. In the street, a double-leaf, glazed entrance door adorned with a wrought-iron acanthus leaf and garlanded décor opens into a hall boasting a ceiling with a floral-patterned rose and cornice, above flooring made up of period multi-coloured cement tiles. To reach the apartments, an entrance code is needed. There is also intercom-controlled access. An elevator leads to the upper floors, as well as the original wooden staircase. The sturdy commonhold is very well maintained: the roof and the communal areas have both been recently renovated. The 32.12-m² apartment, on the 5th floor, is made up of two main rooms. The entrance leads to a shower room, including a shower, a washbasin on a wooden cabinet and a lavatory, and then to an approximately 16-m² living room adjacent to an open-plan and fitted kitchen, equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, induction plates, extractor hood and fridge/freezer. The east-facing lounge boasts three openings, two of which are French windows. Following it, an almost 12-m², south-facing corner bedroom with three French windows opens onto an 8.56-m² continuous balcony that enjoys uninterrupted views over the district’s roofs, from the Tour Saint-Jacques tower, past the columns of the Louvre and its square courtyard, to the dome of the Mazarine Library and bell tower of Saint-Germain-des-Prés church further away on the left bank of the River Seine. The moulded cornices, 2.84-metre ceiling height and the chevron-patterned wood strip flooring provide the property with plenty of character. The layout optimises every single bit of space and the apartment, which is in very good condition, can be moved into right away.

House with garden and terrace Saint-Tropez (83)
A fisherman’s house with four bedrooms, a terrace/garden and mooring ring, on the Gulf of Saint Tropez, in the heart of Port Grimaud. If you can imagine a scene, which is unusual in more ways than one, of a place where instead of streets there are canals and where boats replace cars, then you are on the shores of the Gulf of Saint Tropez in the lagoon-side town of Port Grimaud, which is a haven for all nautical sports enthusiasts seeking both a house and a jetty to moor their sailing yacht or motorboat. The house can be reached, after passing through the entry gate to the complex, via a small and secure street, allowing luggage to be unloaded, after which vehicles can be left in the car park one hundred metres away. The house is part of a series of terraced homes forming a continuous building complex typical of the gentleness of the town dreamed up by architect François Spoerry in the late 1960s. His project was to build a village where sea lovers could moor their boats directly in front of their homes. The three-storey edifice, with identical surfaces on each level, boasts a roof made of barrel tiles underlined by a génoise cornice, small-paned windows, baby blue louvred shutters, an arched entrance door and pale-cream facades, blending nicely with the terracotta, coral and off-white neighbouring houses. It was built in 1979, is oriented east to west, possesses living space of almost 90 m² and includes a living room, kitchen, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room, as well as two balconies and a patio organised as a small garden. With a sky-blue backdrop, the atmosphere surrounding the house seamlessly captures the charm of an old Provence village.

Land Algueirão-Mem Martins (Portugal)
In Sintra, a 4-hectare equestrian estate to be renovated into a residence or tourism project. There are properties that call for a specific use before they call for an owner. This is one of them. Just ten minutes from Sintra, these four hectares already offer everything a professional equestrian project requires. Several buildings, including a chapel, are awaiting restoration, which could be geared toward a private residence or a hospitality venue. Lisbon, Cascais, and the beaches are never far away.

House with pool Borba (Portugal)
In Borba, a former convent dating from 1778 with its original chapel and bell tower. Borba grew up surrounded by its marble and its convents, and the Convent of Our Lady of Sorrows has held a special place in that collective memory since 1778. What the centuries have left behind—the bell tower, the chapel, the azulejos, the stucco, the vaults, the paintings, the marble staircases—has not been erased by the restoration work carried out since 2012, but rather extended, as if the place were simply continuing what it had begun. Designated a historic site by the Ministry of Culture, it holds residential and tourist potential commensurate with its history.

Property with pool Silves (Portugal)
Near Silves, in the Algarve, a contemporary villa on the riverbank. Silves has long regarded its river as its true border—the one that nourished the land and guided its people long before the city took on its Moorish name. It is within this ancient relationship between water and land that the villa has chosen to settle, set back slightly, as if it had always been there. The design embodies, in its own way, what the Algarve has always done best: working with the sun rather than shielding from it, orienting the house toward the water rather than the road, and letting the land have the final say on its placement.

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. Tall, protective walls separate the property from the road. Beyond the gate, you first enjoy a view of the garden and outbuildings. 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.

Loft Bar-le-Duc (55)
An apartment adapted in a 19th-century temple. Still few in number at the beginning of the 19th century, the Protestant community of Bar-le-Duc organized itself starting in 1856 with the establishment of a pastor. The following year, it began the construction of a temple, based on the plans of the departmental architect Alexandre Guiot. The cornerstone was laid on May 23, 1861, by the pastor's daughter, Camélia, who was then six years old. A commemorative inscription and three pieces of silver dating from 1860 were then placed in a cavity made in the stone, at the right base of the entrance portal. Protected between two sheets of lead, these testimonies of the building's foundation are still preserved there. After 1905, it gathered about 600 faithful distributed across 44 municipalities. However, the gradual decline of the community and financial difficulties led to the sale of the temple in 1996. It ceased to host worship and was transformed into a two-level dwelling by its current owners, who maintain the ground floor as a workshop and exhibition/sales space. Located in a small quiet street perpendicular to the main thoroughfare of the city, the temple occupies a triangular plot extending at the back with a small courtyard.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Farmhouse with outbuildings Salbris (41)
Hunting property of 20 hectares in Sologne. Away from major roadways, the property enjoys a discreet location in a wooded environment. A river meanders along it, adding to the landscape and contributing to the diversity of the surrounding habitats. After passing through an automated gate, the estate gradually reveals itself at the end of a path that leads successively to the buildings, creating a coherent whole of about 20 hectares; it consists of a main house, an auxiliary building, as well as several areas intended for storage and the operation of the property. The buildings are set within a wooded landscape, where meadows and clearings occasionally open up views. The whole presents the characteristics of an old rural property typical of Sologne, with buildings of simple volumes, made of brick and half-timbering, covered with roofs of small tiles, traditional materials of the region.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Bergerac (24)
A 19th-century manor with over six hectares of grounds and a horse-riding centre as an optional extra, in France’s Périgord region. The manor towers on a wooded plateau that opens up slightly towards the south. The edifice stretches up to the treetops that surround it. It stands in a commanding position in a meadow that slopes gently down to the property’s entrance. From there, a driveway snakes up from a road on which heavy goods vehicles are forbidden. In a second clearing there is a swimming pool set in a terrace made of exotic wood. Vehicles can be parked in the shade of trees. On these grassy, well-maintained grounds where roe deer find refuge, there is neither asphalt nor gravel. At the edge of the estate, there is a paddock. Via a path beneath trees and a few stone steps, you can reach an adjoining property, available for sale as an optional extra. It includes a noble country house, a studio apartment, large outbuildings, a garden, a well filled with water all year round, a stable and a horse-riding area.

Mill Dourdan (91)
A converted watermill from 1850 with a 1,500m² floor area, outhouses and four hectares of grounds by a river, only an hour from Paris. The remarkable watermill stands in front of an expanse of water that reflects the edifice marvellously. Today, the mill does not have an inalienable right to make use of the river water here, but it nevertheless dates back to the year 1512. It was doubtless altered and rebuilt in the 17th century, as the L-shaped series of outhouses suggests. Today’s property neighbours a chateau, which used to be part of a larger estate. The watermill was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century where two old mills once stood. More recently, the edifice was restored between 2002 and 2010. It has a ground floor, a first floor, a second floor, a third floor and a fourth floor in the roof space. A pavilion adjoins each end of the building. Each of these pavilions has a single bay of windows in their gable ends. The main embellishments are made of wood. There are windows with glazed arched fanlights with radial pane bars. Finely crafted guardrails are fitted in front of them. And remarkable timber corbels, also finely crafted, support the pavilion roofs. The spectacular size and shape of the edifice – with its five levels and rectangular plan – give the property an almost palatial dimension. Indeed, this grand character is as surprising as it is awe-inspiring. Moreover, the building's architectural evenness gives it an Italian style that recalls the noble warehouses that dot Lombardy and Veneto. The doors and windows are capped with semicircular arches of brickwork. In a classical arrangement, these openings are spaced out evenly. They punctuate each level with their pleasant, repeated motif. This design is the undeniable signature style of mills from the Second French Empire and which we can see in other local mills. The style underlines the period’s architectural character in this region of France.

Listed private mansion with garden Paris 5ᵗʰ (75)
A 130 m² flat with a living room whose decor is listed, in a small Directoire-style building overlooking a garden, close to the Jardin du Luxembourg. The flat occupies the right wing of a small listed town house, hidden from the street by a modern building designed by Jean Dubuisson, winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1945. A caretaker is on duty at all times. A first glass entrance, secured by a code followed by an intercom, provides access to a vast hall in grey marble, which is under video surveillance. Through large glass walls, a shady garden can be seen, with white gravel paths, planted with acacias and sycamores and punctuated by small circular beds of rhododendrons, ivy and hydrangeas. At the end of the 19th century, the site housed painters' studios. The most famous painters to work there were Alfons Mucha and Jean Dupas. Built in 1796, the Hôtel Scelles is a remarkable example of late 18th-century architecture. Designed for the sculptor and marble-maker François Scelles, the building occupies part of the estate of the Carmélites convent, sold as national property during the Revolution. The building's strictly ordered facade is one storey higher than the ground floor and is opened up by five windows on either side of a central main building. The latter, set between two slender marble pilasters at a very slight projection, is enhanced by three triangular pediments on the main floor. Dating back to the 17th century, the stone baluster cornice, together with the flat roof, reflect the French-style roofing of the 18th century. The second floor of the central section dominates the façade, with three arched windows topped by a sculpted clasp. Two stone brackets support the ensemble, which is topped by a curved pediment pierced by an oculus housing the bust of François Scelles. A private entrance, at the right-hand corner of the façade, leads to two dwellings. The door reveals a hallway with a cloakroom and a staircase leading to the first floor. With six high windows lined with wooden shutters facing south-west and opening on to the garden, it comprises a kitchen, a dining room of almost 18 m², and a bedroom of around 15 m² with a bathroom and dressing room. Adjoining the dining room, which is listed as a historic monument, there is a reception room measuring some 38 m² with a vaulted ceiling and a large arched fanlight to the west. The interior decoration of the grand salon, built on the site of Louise de La Vallière's former oratory, is remarkable due to the quality, diversity and rarity of the marble covering the walls in shades of puce, Languedoc red and Pyrenean green. Purple breccia pilasters crowned with capitals support a moulded cornice framing a wide border painted in Pompeian-style grisaille, featuring women dressed in antique style, on either side of busts of famous men depicted in trompe-l'œil medallions. There are solid mahogany double doors throughout. A wooden staircase in the dining room leads to a second attic level. Two bedrooms of around 10 and 16 m² with exposed beams, a bathroom and a separate toilet occupy the first floor. There is also an underground parking space and a cellar, both accessible by lift.

House with garden and terrace Sable-sur-sarthe (72)
A restored former farm with outbuildings and equestrian facilities in more than 3 hectares, in the southern Sarthe area, between La Flèche and Sablé. A country road bordered by meadows, small woods and hedgerows leads to the property’s entrance, where a wooden gate opens into a tree-filled garden and a courtyard, which in turn leads to four buildings: a renovated former farmhouse that is the main residence, former pigsties and two barns, all of which have been restored. One of the barns could be used as accommodation. The main residence, which boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms, faces southwest to the courtyard, while to the northeast it overlooks an orchard. It is possible to create a further bedroom and bathroom. The two-storey edifice, one of which is beneath the rafters, boasts rendered and partially exposed stonework as well as arched openings with brick surrounds, which is a typical regional feature, while the rear facade possesses a covered area. The gabled roof made of modern tiles is punctuated by three gabled dormers on the courtyard side and three skylights on the orchard side. All the windows are double glazed, except for the dormers. The buildings are surrounded by a garden and meadows over more than 3 hectares with a large pond.
