The castle Brillanne is located on the outskirts of Aix-En-Provence, on the gently sloping hillsides of the Puyricard plateau, well exposed to the sun and sheltered from the mistral, interspersed with small valleys which descend towards the Touloubre. Originally, La Brillanne was a construction whose traces date back to the 15th century. At the end of the 19th century, a floor and four square towers were added to the property at each corner, which gave it the name of castle, as well as a slate roof. Several successive alterations have gradually modified the original building, thus helping to give it its current architectural style, while retaining the classic exterior and interior bastide elements. Today, the property, built on a park of approximately 2.7 hectares, offers a real estate complex of nearly 1750 m2 of buildings, composed of the Provencal castle entirely restored in 2018, three new contemporary villas, a farmhouse to renovate, a fen and numerous annexes, horse boxes and a garage for 12 vehicles. On the garden side, the estate has retained all of its adjoining outbuildings, its wells, boxwood paths, gravelled flowerbeds, a wood to the east of the mansion, a monumental entrance with a wrought iron gate, which unambiguously indicated the power and wealth of the masters of the place, ponds (fed by a natural spring coming down from the Trévaresse), a wash house , and fountains. The park has many century-old trees, including a vast and majestic avenue of plane trees. To complete the outdoor space, a swimming pool, with impressive dimensions and the look of a Provençal pool, is nestled on the south side, sheltered from all nuisances. The Provençal author René Borricand, in his book Château et bastides du Pays d'Aix, evokes the castle estate as follows: “A typical three-story facade, generously pierced with five windows to take advantage of the garden; a roof with four slopes decorated with genoises, cornices of tiles whose number of rows indicates the quality of the owner (three are a sign of nobility, the owners had the title of marquis) and towers at each corner. La Brillanne, a property made of rusticity and elegance, simplicity and refinement, to come and discover with your Michaël Zingraf agency, Christie’s International Real Estate.

A 17th century chateau and its outbuildings, in 6 ha of parklands and gardens, facing Sisteron citadel. This property is on land that borders the Durance Valley, to the north of the town of Sisteron and to the north-east of Buëch bridge. Once a hunting lodge belonging to the Captain of the Cazette, it was then remodelled and given its current appearance. This 17th century building stands at the end of a driveway, lined with plane trees. It comprises a central, rectangular building which spans three levels and is extended by two wings set at right angles. The main facade is bordered with a terrace, the view from which was outlined in William-Turner’s travel sketchbooks in 1830. The painting resulting from this draft is now displayed in the Tate Gallery: Baume Rock with, on its hillside, the outskirts of the town, the confluence of the rivers Durance and Buëch and the citadel standing on a rocky spur. A flight of stone steps goes from the terrace to an Italian-style garden which runs alongside the bank. It gives access to the old stables, to a succession of cellars and to a greenhouse. Parklands, planted with trees hundreds of years old, surround the estate, ensuring its privacy. Near to the chateau, a dovecote stands next to a listed, ornamental pool. An old goat shed adjoins the stables and a farm shed, a barn borders the river bank. A lake is lost from sight in the estate’s woods. Six springs are scattered throughout the property.
