LEGENDARY FORTRESS OF VEAUCE IN THE HEART OF THE ALLIER REGION - Historic Monument - MORE THAN 1,000 YEARS OF HISTORY - ON A ROCKY SPUR - SPLENDID VIEW - 8.3 HECTARES - ENDANGERED MONUMENT Known for having been the residence of Louis the Pious, Emperor of the West, in the 9th century. The site of the Chateau of Veauce has existed since the Gallo-Roman period, and springs still containing water from that era are visible in one of the castle cellars. In the 9th century, the chateau served as the summer residence of Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, Emperor and King of the Franks. The fortress underwent numerous construction and reconstruction phases: in the 11th century, the 13th century, and then at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, when the lordship of Veauce was elevated to a barony. The chateau then belonged to Louis II de Bourbon. Upon the death of the Constable Charles III de Bourbon in 1527, the lordship returned to the Crown. It was not until the 19th century that Veauce regained its splendor with the arrival of Charles de Cadier de Veauce, an influential politician and friend of the Duke of Morny, who restored the chateau in Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance style. He was also responsible for constructing the current stables and converting a semi-circular section of the fortress into a riding arena. He also commissioned the landscaping of the park by the Count of Choulot. From the medieval fortress remain the high keep, towers, curtain walls, part of the covered wall walk, and the kitchens. Despite its appearance as a medieval fortress, the Baron of Veauce modernized the property in the taste of the 19th century. In the 20th century, under the impulse of the penultimate owner, the chateau became associated with the legend of Lucie, a ghost reportedly seen many times, which brought fame both to the site and to its owner at the time, Mr. Tagori “de la Tour” (it was Eugène de Cadier de Veauce who sold the chateau to Mr. Tagori in 1972). The chateau consists of four wings: An ancient wing over three levels and several basement levels. This building, dating from the medieval period of the chateau, was largely remodeled during the 19th century but still retains 15th-century features such as fireplaces and mullioned windows. The east wing is served by a circular staircase located in a projecting tower next to which stands the castle chapel (probably a simple oratory). On the ground floor and first floor, a large corridor provides access to all the salons. The noble floor is located on the first floor. The second level, originally reserved for servants, has been partially renovated by the current owners. The basement contains the former kitchens of the medieval chateau as well as a series of cellars. There is also a cistern believed to date back to the Gallo-Roman era. A 19th-century wing designed in Neo-Renaissance style. Its layout is identical to the ancient wing. It was in this part of the monument that the Duke of Morny stayed while constructing the Chateau of Nades in the Puy-de-Dôme region. The two other wings, partially collapsed, consist of outbuildings, garages, and stables built upon former structures. The entire ensemble of these four wings is surrounded by curtain walls and fortification towers dating between the 13th and 15th centuries. Battlements and the conversion of one tower into a clock tower were added during the 19th century. Around the fortress are various landscaped features and buildings: To the east, a large terrace with staircase constituted the ceremonial access to the chateau, probably from the 18th century onward. An entrance with lodge and large gate was created in Troubadour style during the 19th century (another lodge, known as the “Lion Lodge,” forms the entrance at the eastern edge of the park). To the west, a former tower converted into an icehouse, as well as another entrance with lodge and gate (known as the “Small Lodge”). The 8.3-hectare park contains remarkable trees, and the river “Veauce” flows through the center of the estate. Several buildings, probably dating from the 19th century, have been left abandoned: a mill, a metal greenhouse, and various additional structures. The property is currently subject to an official emergency works order issued by the State to carry out urgent stabilization works, allowing the future owner time to prepare a full restoration program. Location: -A grocery store in the village near the chateau. -All shops within less than 10 minutes by car -Vichy train station 40 km away, then Paris in 3h20 by train and Lyon in 2h. Price: 800,000 euros agency fees included (agency fees payable by the seller). Fees to be paid by the seller. Not subject to DPE. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Geohazards website: georisques.gouv.fr.

A part-listed Renaissance chateau remodelled over time, with eight hectares of tree-dotted grounds by the city of Moulins in France’s Allier department. The chateau stands in the heart of vast, tree-dotted grounds that cover over eight hectares. This estate is set back from the city of Moulins and is surrounded by meadows.

It looks out southwards at the grounds and northwards at a gravel courtyard edged with brick outbuildings.

A human-scale 18th-century chateau in around 4 hectares of parkland, in the countryside around the Bourbonnais sector. The estate spreads out over a surface of approximately 4hectares. The chateau, which was erected in 1758, stands out thanks to its classical architecture, which is typical of grand French residences from the second half of the 18th century. It boasts a symmetrical layout including a central section flanked by two wings, providing structure to the south-facing main facade. In the 19th century, a staircase tower was added to one of the wings. The three-storey residence has a ground floor, first floor and a not yet converted loft beneath a slate Mansard roof, which is punctuated by three gable dormers with triangular pediments as well as by several chimney stacks. Thanks to the tall windows on the facade, the interior is generously bathed in light. The ashlar door and window surrounds, the stringcourses as well as the quoins emphasise the structure’s well-organised appearance. The slender tower provides a picturesque touch and pays witness to the enhancements made in the 19th century, which were nonetheless in keeping with the style of the original construction. Tracks and paths wind through the classically inspired parkland, providing structure and carefully crafted perspectives, faithful to the tradition of French rural properties, designed to combine appearance, comfort and harmony with the natural environment.

In central France, in the Bourbonnais bocage, A listed 14th- and 17th-century farmhouse château with a riding arena, lake, and meadows, on 28 ha. The farmhouse château, a listed building (Monument Historique), is laid out around a large square courtyard bordered by four ranges of buildings. Two wings of service buildings extend the south side and form an open forecourt, reached over a bridge spanning a moat. A square porch pavilion of exposed rubble stone pointed in lime, with a carriage entrance and a wooden pedestrian door, marks the access to the property. The imperial roof has slopes covered alternately in fishscale tiles and flat tiles, with a slate bell-turret above. This entrance evokes the history of the site. Through the pavilion, a keep of exposed rubble stone under Bourbonnais flat tiles comes into view along its axis. The wings of the house repeat the same architectural style, with towers and wooden galleries, open or closed. Stone dormers in the roofs and Burgundy stone surrounds to the doors and openings add to the overall architectural coherence. The house has turrets and bartizans, and a large round tower at its south end houses the chapel. A small bell-turret and a cross top the tower's roof. Around the main house, several outbuildings remain from the former agricultural use of the site: a mill, a sheep shed, a henhouse, a barn, and a kennel. Some of these buildings are now used as a stable and a garage. There is also a riding arena. The courtyard and the areas around the buildings are landscaped with gravel drives, low dry-stone walls, and lawns with potted olive trees and shrubs.

Just two miles from Moulins, in the heart of the Bourbonnais bocage, a residence of rare character is revealed: an authentic 1806 gentlemen's house, combining the nobility of old buildings and modern comfort. Entirely renovated under the guidance of an architect, the property offers 478m² of living space spread over three levels, with cellars, large reception rooms with solid oak floors, ceiling rosettes, period moldings, and stone fireplaces. A superb oak staircase with wrought-iron banisters serves the floors, where seven bedrooms and their bathrooms are elegantly arranged. Its most striking architectural feature remains its red brick corner tower, crowned with crenellations and decorative machicolations — a true heritage signature of the place —, connected to the main building by a bright glazed winter garden, carefully built and accessible to people with reduced mobility. The whole is set in a wooded park of about 2 hectares, enclosed by walls and wire fencing, ensuring absolute privacy: an 80 m² terrace, pool, pond, and century-old trees make up an exceptional green setting, just a stone's throw from a lively town offering all amenities (shops, train station, hospital, schools).

Overlooking the valleys, rocky hills, forests, and spa towns from its rocky spur, this majestic stone castle, built on a Merovingian site at an altitude of 480 m, has dominated the landscape since at least the medieval period. The family descended through women from the lords of a vast estate for 400 years—whose first member was treasurer of the Duke of Bourbon—has preserved a freehold estate of 45 ha (at the center of 160 ha leased, some of which could expand the sale of this free reserve). Seventeen hectares of woods surrounding the splendid Grand Etang and its spawning ground (12 ha of water) conceal various buildings of great character amidst over 16 ha of gardens, meadows, and groves. Passing through the wrought-iron gate, one leaves the real world to enter the reverie of the 45 ha park, designed by a well-known landscape architect in Bourbonnais and Europe. Gradually, the honor avenue reveals the beauties of the ensemble one by one, appearing after each turn: forgotten is the small chalet-style house of the gardener-keeper, where the view of the immense pond emerges from majestic trees of multiple species; the original outbuildings then appear, always on the east side, remodeled in the 19th-century orangery style, with their renovated lodge, a dwelling in the same style, and the typically regional dovecote. Finally, the centerpiece of the tableau emerges, dominating the entirety of a park arranged for visual pleasure: the castle, isolated and formerly inaccessible. At the southwest corner, slightly set apart, is the farm and its 19th-century (renovated) caretaker's house, independent, at the back of the gardens still possessing their walls to which fruit trees leaned. A complete and complex ensemble, still possessing the castle, its two lodges, its lands, woods, water, and above all, no nuisance. It is undoubtedly for this silence enlivened by the songs of birds, the trees, and the pond thawing in the sun, that its melodious name has been so well found since "immemorial times." The castle, covering approximately 700 m² of floor space, is regularly maintained for its major works (original frameworks, new roofs, coatings of the two northern towers in 2026) and requires a total interior renovation, despite presenting rooms with atmospheres modified in the 19th century, under a flood of light revealing decorations worthy of the heiress of a family that also owned the Château d’Ainay-le-Vieil as well as a famous private mansion in Montluçon. The baroness married an Empire baron, who wanted to give the ancient feudal fortress and its medieval farm the splendor and comfort of the Napoleonic era. With the best orientation (southeast/northwest), this pleasure residence still offers circular towers, including that of the barbican staircase, emblazoned with the coats of arms of families from a prestigious lineage: counselor and prosecutor of the king, steward of Madame the Duchess of Angoulême, civil and criminal lieutenant in the lordship of Montluçon; general treasurer of finances in Moulins; treasurer of France; captain of vessel; marquis, gendarmerie officer, knight of the royal and military order of Saint-Louis, beheaded during the Revolution; after the Revolution, the property confiscated by revolutionaries was returned by the former steward to the new marquis, mayor of Montluçon. In 1940, the castle and its outbuildings housed around a hundred war refugees and their families. This property is not listed; all your renovation imagination can flourish here. Between Montluçon, Gouzon, and Clermont-Ferrand. Complete file available upon serious interest.
