Exclusive Listing – IMPORTANT 18TH-CENTURY CHÂTEAU OVERLOOKING THE SEINE, 45 KM FROM PARIS – Enlarged by Henri-Paul Nénot for banker Michel Ephrussi – Home to some of the most celebrated Régence boiseries, originating from the hôtel particulier of Louis XIV's financier – Louis XVI oval salon overlooking the Seine – Art Deco bathrooms by Süe et Mare – Orangery – Listed Historic Monument (Monument Historique) and protected site – 45 km from Paris, Fontainebleau, Vaux-le-Vicomte, Seine-et-Marne, Île-de-France. Perched atop a wooded hillside overlooking the Seine, 30 minutes from Paris by RER and one hour by car, the château stands on the foundations of an 11th-century fortress. Rebuilt in 1766 for the Fréteau family, it was subsequently enhanced during the Belle Époque by banker Michel Ephrussi, brother of Maurice Ephrussi, husband of Béatrice de Rothschild, who together built the celebrated Villa Ephrussi in Nice. Henry IV camped in its grounds in 1590, and it was at the château that, on 5 September 1914, General Joffre persuaded Field Marshal French to commit the British Army to the First Battle of the Marne. Beyond the monumental wrought-iron gates adorned with gilded scrollwork, a long avenue, lined with mature trees and four mythological statues (Jupiter, Juno, Neptune and Narcissus), leads towards the château, revealed at the end of the vista. On the Seine-facing side, the vista extends above a sloping meadow, offering commanding views over the river and valley. The château was rebuilt in 1766 for Michel-Louis Fréteau de Saint-Just, Master of Accounts at the Chambre des comptes, in the elegant and restrained Neoclassical style of the period: a long main building with eleven bays, constructed of dressed stone, whose façade overlooking the Seine curves into a projecting central section housing the oval salon, reminiscent of Vaux-le-Vicomte, its illustrious neighbour. Between 1893 and 1895, for financier Michel Ephrussi, who was related to the Rothschild family, Henri-Paul Nénot, architect of the new Sorbonne, enlarged the château with two lateral pavilions and crowned it with a tall Mansard roof, pierced by oval dormer windows and topped with a dome. The château is entered through a vestibule featuring its original limestone flooring with slate cabochons, opening directly onto the oval salon along the central axis. The centrepiece of the château, the oval salon, opens onto the Seine through tall, arched French windows and has retained its entire Louis XVI decorative scheme from the 1770s–1780s in remarkable condition. Beneath a ceiling approximately 6 metres high are fluted Ionic pilasters, a laurel frieze, a dentilled cornice and a fluted marble fireplace topped with a curved overmantel featuring gilded laurel garlands and its original mirror. An exquisite marquetry parquet floor forms an immense rosette. Adjacent to the oval salon, the boiserie salon is the château's crowning jewel. Its celebrated natural oak Régence boiseries, known as à la capucine, carved circa 1720–1740, are believed to have originated from the private mansion of Samuel Bernard, the immensely wealthy financier of Louis XIV. Overmantels, wall panels and fireplace surrounds display exceptionally fine scrolling foliage, shells and volutes, in the style of Jacques Verberckt, sculptor of the royal apartments at Versailles. A room inspired by the Grand Cabinet of the Dauphine at Versailles, together with a marble fireplace, completes this exceptional Régence interior, a rare example in private ownership. Along the Seine-facing enfilade, a library-salon, panelled circa 1895 after the model of the Régence boiseries, precedes the large room in the south pavilion. A vast reception room with a ceiling nearly 6 metres high, illuminated from two sides, features a marble fireplace and a curved ceiling soffit decorated with six compartments containing putti painted on canvas, attributed to an 18th-century painter from the circle of François Boucher. Cloakroom, toilets and service room. On the courtyard side, a salon partially decorated with early 18th-century carved panelling and overdoor panels featuring scrolling foliage. In the north pavilion, a highly elegant salon with a ceiling over 5 metres high, entirely panelled in natural oak. These boiseries were created circa 1895 for Michel Ephrussi in the purest Régence style, modelled on the 18th-century panelling in the neighbouring salon. They follow the rounded corners of the room beneath a curved moulded cornice, with large carved panels featuring shells, scrolling foliage and leaves. The French windows with small panes overlook the park and the Seine. A dining room. A garden-facing reception bedroom decorated with boiseries, featuring a marble fireplace, a shower room and an adjoining kitchenette.

Transformed into an English-style garden in the early 19th century, it was later enhanced when Henri Duchêne redesigned the main courtyard for Michel Ephrussi. Extensive groves of horse chestnuts, sycamore and Norway maples, and ash trees, many exceeding 20 metres in height, frame expansive lawns. On the Seine-facing side, a meadow slopes down towards the river. The diversity of tree species includes several remarkable specimens. Protected as a classified site and designated woodland, the estate forms a green sanctuary and a refuge for biodiversity in the heart of the Seine Valley.

On the edge of the Étrépilly valley, along the traces of the Battle of the Marne, Château de Saint-Faron embodies nearly a thousand years of French history, from the monastic lands granted by Lord Simon d'Oisy to the Abbey of Meaux in the 12th century, to the characterful residence it is today. The main building dates back to the late 17th century, as evidenced by its original timber framework. It was transformed into a true château in the early 19th century by Ernest-Philippe Foucher, a Parisian notary who became mayor of the 9th arrondissement of Paris and was known there by the courtesy title of "Comte Foucher de Saint Faron." He is responsible for the tower built in the 17th-century style, as well as the "Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes de Saint-Faron" chapel, consecrated in 1884 following an event that remains part of local memory as the "miracle of Saint-Faron." The residence also bears older traces of history: two cannonballs, fired in 1814 during the retreat of the French Campaign, are still lodged in the north façade. Requisitioned by the German army in 1914 during the Battle of the Marne, the château lived through both World Wars. Carefully restored since the mid-20th century, and lived in as a primary residence by the same family since 1997, the château now offers all modern comforts without losing any of its soul.

Nearby, the landscapes of the Juine Valley, the estates and châteaux of Essonne and Loiret, as well as the region’s charming villages, offer a particularly sought-after setting for a family home, a holiday property or a heritage project. Oriented along a north-south axis and situated in a commanding position overlooking a small valley, the château is laid out in an elegant ‘T’ shape. Its architectural composition combines a main section of exposed cut stone with two side towers featuring a salmon-coloured rendered façade, accentuated by corner string courses of cut stone. The whole is topped with slate roofs, punctuated by dormer windows. The main building comprises a basement level, a raised ground floor, a main storey and a converted attic level. The façades are punctuated by large windows, emphasised by horizontal bands marking the different levels and lending the whole structure a sense of architectural regularity. All around the château, the courtyard is enclosed by a wide, dry-stone-walled moat, adorned with fruit trees. This feature, which is integral to the estate’s identity, bears witness to its history and recalls the property’s defensive origins. From the courtyard, access to the raised ground floor is via an imposing external staircase with a double straight flight, featuring an elegant balustrade of stone balusters. This leads to a vast landing, also lined with balusters, which serves as the residence’s ceremonial entrance. With a living area of approximately 650 sqm, the château is laid out as follows: The raised ground floor: accessible from the basement level or directly from the inner courtyard via the monumental staircase, the ground floor is organised around a beautiful entrance hall leading to the various reception rooms. To the left, a drawing room notable for its Versailles parquet flooring, panelled walls and marble fireplace is complemented by a billiard room. To the right, the entrance leads to an elegant music room of approximately 35 sqm (ceiling height 3.50 m), featuring painted exposed beams and a wooden fireplace. A modern, fitted and fully equipped kitchen, a library of approximately 25 sqm which also serves as a study, with herringbone parquet flooring, and a dining room of approximately 30 sqm complete this level. A guest toilet and a service staircase round off the layout. The first floor, accessed via the main staircase located in the rear half of the entrance hall, comprises a landing leading to a living room of approximately 26 sqm and five bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet, offering comfort and privacy to residents and guests. The attic level: partly converted, it comprises four additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet. A spacious loft provides a view of the building’s remarkable timber framework and offers further potential depending on your plans. The basement level: this level features a spacious corridor leading to the former kitchens, which notably retain their cabochon-patterned floor tiles, as well as a utility room, an indoor well, a fruit store, a pantry and a boiler room. This level also includes a former vaulted cellar featuring a fireplace and a bread oven, as well as a wine cellar. A staircase leads to the upper floors. Harmoniously spread across the four corners of the estate, the numerous outbuildings serve a wide variety of purposes and offer opportunities for development and uses that complement the main house (residential, heritage or events projects). The outbuildings include: A/ A caretaker’s house B/ The miller’s house C/ The old mill D/ Two elegant outbuildings E/ The farm buildings F/ A dovecote G/ A shed A/ The caretaker’s house To the west, right next to the main entrance, a caretaker’s cottage offers a detached property in need of refurbishment. It comprises, on the ground floor, a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a toilet, plus two further bedrooms upstairs and a shower room. The property is fitted with gas heating with a storage tank. The slate roof shows signs of wear and tear. The window frames are double-glazed, made of wood and PVC on the first floor, whilst the ground floor still has single-glazed windows. B/ The miller’s house The miller’s house, situated to the north of the château in a setting with a small river flowing below, has its own entrance from the public road. It is laid out as follows: on the ground floor there is a kitchen, a toilet with a utility room, and a living room. The first floor comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet, whilst the second floor comprises three bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. The house is fitted with a combined wood and electric heating system, single-glazed wooden windows and an individual sewage system. Its slate roof shows signs of wear and tear. C/ The old mill The old mill is one of the most distinctive features of the estate. Built of rendered rubble stone, it retains its oak roof structure as well as the components associated with the old waterwheel mechanism. It comprises, in particular, a barn of approximately 80 sqm, various rooms and utility spaces, as well as a large room of approximately 115 sqm on the first floor, surmounted by an attic level of the same size. The slate roof, which is around thirty years old, shows signs of wear and tear. This property offers a particularly attractive setting for a guest house or event venue. D/ Two elegant outbuildings To the south of the château, a terraced lawn surrounded by retaining walls is flanked by two elegant outbuildings. The first houses a former dovecote which has been converted into toilet facilities. The second comprises a small detached dwelling consisting of a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a toilet. E/ The farm buildings This remarkable outbuilding complex faces the two pavilions, forming a courtyard which marks the boundary with the neighbouring property. The latter owns part of this building, though this arrangement does not detract from the secluded and peaceful character of the estate. This wing comprises numerous cellars, storage rooms, garages and workshop spaces. Two large rooms, measuring approximately 100 sqm and 90 sqm, in particular offer interesting potential, subject to some renovation work, for the creation of reception or event spaces. F/ The dovecote To the east of the estate stands what is probably one of its most remarkable structures: an imposing dovecote, now without a roof, which still contains around 3,500 nesting boxes. This exceptional number bears witness to the importance and extent of the seigneurial estate of yesteryear and lends this building genuine heritage value. G/ The shed A shed measuring approximately 11 × 10 m completes this lovely complex. The estate spans a property of approximately 12 hectares (29 acres), entirely enclosed by walls totaling nearly 2 linear kilometers. Remarkably well-preserved and maintained, these walls constitute an exceptional heritage feature and provide the property with a level of privacy and seclusion that is highly sought after. To the south of the château, within these well-preserved walls, a vast terraced lawn, bordered by stone retaining walls, offers remarkable views from the château. It extends downward into an orchard featuring plum, cherry, apple, pear, and fig trees, as well as a vegetable garden, both of which are accessed via an elegant double-flight stone staircase. The succession of terraces, walls, and plantings creates a structured and perfectly harmonious landscape, whose geometric lines and vistas provide a particularly elegant and pleasant setting to contemplate. To the east, a pool area blends naturally into the park, situated right next to a grove that provides a shaded and intimate setting. The rest of the park unfolds in a more natural, wooded setting, traversed by a river fed by several major springs. The presence of these flowing waters, combined with the diversity of the landscape, gives the estate a truly unique geographical and scenic character and fully contributes to its rarity.

On the edge of Yvelines and Normandy, in the preserved village of Saint-Illiers-la-Ville, this castle built in 1850 unfolds its brick and plaster facades in the heart of a 4.5-hectare park. Its commanding position offers an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. The castle illustrates the eclectic architecture of the 19th century. Its symmetrical main façade is organized around a stone honor staircase and tall arched French doors, framed by two lateral gables. The elevations blend red brick with light plaster, punctuated by harped brick corner chains and brick-framed windows. Under the cornice, a decorative frieze with geometric motifs in polychrome adds a characteristic touch of the period. The building is topped with a high slate roof, entirely renewed, animated by dormer windows, a spire, and tall brick chimney stacks. Completely renovated in 2021, the castle offers 337 sqm of living space (407 sqm total surface) over three main levels, complemented by an attic and a basement. The ground floor is dedicated to reception: a tiled entrance opens onto two lounges and a dining room with generous volumes, extended by a 23 sqm kitchen. Parquet floors, moldings, chimney, plaster rosettes, and checkered floors create an authentic and luminous decor, served by large bays opening onto the park. The first floor hosts four bedrooms, served by a large landing and a bathroom. The second is organized around a large master suite and includes two other bedrooms, served by several bathrooms and water rooms. In total, seven bedrooms allow for hosting family and guests in rare comfort. The development potential is one of the property’s assets: the 70 sqm attic, already insulated and powered by electricity, lends itself to creating bedrooms, an office, or a leisure space without major work, while the basement offers the possibility of developing new living spaces, game room, wine cellar, gym, or spa depending on projects. All these volumes are available to support the evolution of a household or activity. The renovation combines character and contemporary comfort: pellet central heating, double-flow ventilation, air and water filtration systems, exterior lighting, electric gate, fencing, and car shelter. All technical installations needed for the creation of a pool have already been completed, leaving only the basin installation to be done. At the rear, a large stone-paved terrace with a balustrade overlooks the park and naturally extends receptions. The wooded park, planted with remarkable specimens and enclosed, provides a setting of greenery and tranquility around the residence. Just minutes from Bréval shops, the property benefits from easy access to the capital: Bréval station connected to Paris-Saint-Lazare in about fifty minutes, A13 motorway nearby. By its size, its volumes, and its location, the Saint-Illiers-la-Ville castle is suitable both for a family seeking a characterful main residence and for buyers looking for a quiet secondary residence near Normandy. Its spacious reception rooms, park, and expansion possibilities also make it suitable for a professional project, guest house, or reception venue, in an exceptional setting less than an hour from Paris.

Over the centuries, it was associated with several noble families, including the Challemaisons, Wignancourts, Hénin de Cuvilliers, and Davy de Chavignés.

At 90 minutes from Paris, at the gates of Fontainebleau, this château occupies a site that the Court of François I already prized for its tranquillity: a bend in the Seine, on the edge of the royal forest. At a time when the river connected Paris to Fontainebleau more reliably than the roads, one arrived here by boat. The vast meadows lining the banks, the natural terraces and the stone steps leading down to the water still bear witness to this today. Built in the early seventeenth century by a physician close to Henri IV, the château passed in 1710 to the Comte de Toulouse, the legitimised son of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan. An avenue linking the estate to the Palace of Fontainebleau was paved in 1726 to facilitate the visits of Louis XV, who would come here to see his great-uncle the Comte de Toulouse and share his passion for hunting. The château then passed to Louis XIV's grandson, the Duc de Penthièvre, who owned several residences in the vicinity of Fontainebleau and was especially fond of entertaining and hunting here. The estate comprises thirty hectares of woodland and meadows, with outbuildings, a kitchen garden, an orchard, and stone walls once devoted to the cultivation of chasselas, the golden table grape born of royal vine trellises in 1730 and grown along miles of walls until the last century. The property also benefits from two kilometres of private riverbank, where swimming and mooring are possible, entirely sheltered from view. The Forest of Fontainebleau enclosing the estate — its 25,000 hectares designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Natura 2000 site — naturally extends this parkland and its protected wildlife. Remodelled in the nineteenth century, the château has preserved its original volumes, with fine ceiling heights and an eighteenth-century enfilade layout. Its large, numerous windows flood every room with exceptional natural light. Versailles parquet, terracotta floor tiles, period fireplaces and window fittings lend it the authentic charm of a historic residence. Spanning 900 m² of living space across three levels, the château comprises seventeen bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, two drawing rooms, a library, a dining room and a large fitted kitchen. Having recently undergone a complete interior renovation, it now offers all the comforts of a contemporary home. The property also includes a large 200 m² house, a pavilion, a caretaker's cottage and an extensive range of outbuildings, offering strong potential for further development, forty-five minutes from Gare de Lyon. The estate's characteristics — its size, privileged setting, proximity to Fontainebleau and easy access to Paris — are assets that open up a range of possibilities. Whether as a primary or secondary residence, the estate lends itself equally well to an investment project: the restoration of the outbuildings and dependencies paves the way for a hotel, tourism or event-hosting venture.

Set in an unspoiled natural environment along the banks of the Seine, Château de la Rivière offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural elegance and strong patrimonial value.

Fireplaces, large openings and architectural symmetry create an atmosphere that is both noble and warm. The kitchen and service areas have been carefully modernized, ensuring contemporary comfort while preserving the spirit of the property. The upper floors accommodate multiple suites and generously proportioned bedrooms, allowing for refined and comfortable hosting. The principal suite benefits from particularly spacious volumes and a dedicated dressing area. Additional bedrooms enjoy beautiful natural light and views over the park or the river. The fully converted attic level provides significant additional accommodation, ideal for extended family, guests or private events. Ideally located near Fontainebleau and less than one hour from Paris, the estate offers a rare balance between accessibility and seclusion. The presence of the Seine, the surrounding forest and the absence of any disturbance create a refined retreat atmosphere — peaceful yet perfectly connected.

The Château du Maréchal de Saxe An Exceptional Historic Estate on the Outskirts of Paris. Just twenty kilometres from Paris, at the heart of an estate spanning approximately sixty hectares, the Château de la Grange, better known as the Château du Maréchal de Saxe, stands among the most remarkable historic residences in the Île-de-France region. Originally commissioned in 1617 by Charles Duret de Chevry, Superintendent of Finances under King Louis XIII, and designed by the architect Jean Thiriot, a close associate of Cardinal Richelieu, the château was built on the foundations of a former fortified farm in the heart of the Forest of La Grange. Its elegant brick-and-stone architecture, a hallmark of the Louis XIII style, gives the property a timeless distinction. Offering approximately 1,300 sq.m (14,000 sq.ft) of living space, complemented by around 1,700 sq.m (18,300 sq.ft) of outbuildings, the estate presents exceptional potential for a luxury hospitality, events, institutional or mixed-use development of international standing. The château entered history in 1748 when it was acquired by Maurice de Saxe, Marshal of France, victor of the Battle of Fontenoy and one of the greatest military strategists of the eighteenth century. He undertook extensive improvements to the estate, including the creation of the celebrated Galerie des Stucs (Stucco Gallery). Over the centuries, the estate passed into the hands of several distinguished families closely connected to the highest circles of power, notably the Gourgaud family, whose history is deeply intertwined with the Napoleonic era. Listed as a Historic Monument, the château has preserved its façades, roofs, ceremonial gallery, several historic reception rooms, its Cour d’Honneur, moats, magnificent entrance gates and a substantial part of its landscaped park. The current owners have successfully revived the estate by restoring its historic salons and establishing a refined gourmet restaurant, demonstrating the remarkable potential of a property where heritage, gastronomy, nature and the French art of entertaining coexist in perfect harmony. Today, this extraordinary estate awaits a new visionary owner. Its immediate proximity to Paris, the quality of its architectural heritage, the scale of its buildings and the beauty of its grounds make it a truly rare opportunity to create a prestigious hotel. Some estates preserve history. Others offer the opportunity to write it.

Just 20 minutes from Paris, nestled within the prestigious Parc des Ibis, this extraordinary palace captures the timeless elegance of the Grand Trianon.

The main residence features magnificent reception rooms, four luxurious suites, a private cinema, a games room, a 16-metre indoor swimming pool, a squash court and a spacious fitness area. A caretaker’s house, staff accommodation and a separate 500 sqm guest residence with four additional suites and multiple garages complete this exceptional estate. Set within 7,000 sqm of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property provides a private oasis of tranquillity and elegance. Over the course of six years, its owner oversaw an extraordinary restoration, entrusting master gilders, sculptors, cabinetmakers, marble craftsmen and stonemasons to showcase the very finest of French craftsmanship. Every detail reflects an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. Rare, discreet and truly one of a kind, this remarkable estate is far more than a residence. It is a place where cherished family memories are created and where unforgettable celebrations unfold in a setting of unrivalled prestige. A timeless expression of heritage, exceptional artistry and the French art of living.
