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.

ENCHANTING 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN PERFECT CONDITION IN A REGIONAL NATURAL PARK 1H40 FROM PARIS - Museum-quality 18th-century interior decoration - 18 hectares - Monumental greenhouses 100 meters long - Private 5-hectare lake - Riverbank - Abbeville, Somme. Overlooking the splendid natural site of the Somme Valley, this 18th-century masterpiece with its highly refined symmetrical brick-and-stone architecture, inspired by a landmark 18th-century architectural treatise, rises atop a series of monumental south-facing terraces sheltering some of the largest private greenhouses in France, stretching 100 meters in length. The 18-hectare classical and romantic landscaped park is bordered for 1 km by the river and includes a 5-hectare lake dotted with small peninsulas. The chateau, flooded with light throughout the day thanks to its East-West orientation, features sumptuous sequences of salons and bedrooms adorned with painted and gilded rococo woodwork housing original paintings by Jean-Baptiste Huet, creating an enchanting décor enhanced by the magnificent south-facing views over the valley from the salons. The architecture of the chateau, of remarkable virtuosity, presents a classical symmetry reminiscent of the architecture of the Hôtel de Biron, now the Musée Rodin in Paris, completed in 1737. The architect Charles-Étienne Briseux began the chateau in 1733 and published the plans in his work L'Art de bâtir les maisons de campagne in 1743. Pierre de Buissy, son of the original patron, completed the interior decoration around 1763. His portrait by Joseph-Siffred Duplessis is held in the Ottawa Museum and is currently featured in a major exhibition in Carpentras under the direction of the Louvre. It is said that the splendor of the chateau originated from a youthful romance he allegedly had at Versailles with Adélaïde de France, daughter of Louis XV, and that he wished to receive her at his chateau in order to marry her. Inside, after ascending the grand central staircase, the ground floor, flooded with light all day long and lavishly appointed, is arranged around an oval stone hall decorated with antique-style pilasters and a black-and-white cabochon floor. It opens onto an exceptional dining room with 18th-century painted wood paneling decorated with vegetal motifs and adorned with two oil-on-canvas paintings on the theme of Love by Jean-Baptiste Huet (17451811), whose works are displayed in the world's greatest museums, including the Louvre, the MET in New York, and the VA in London. The ground floor continues with the gilded salon featuring white-and-gold woodwork with dual exposure, decorated with a beautiful marble fireplace, followed by the spectacular Zodiac Salon, flooded with light from triple East, South and West exposures and offering sumptuous views over the valley.

SUMPTUOUS 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN UPPER PROVENCE - Luberon - 13 Hectares - Superb view - Listed Historic Monument - 1 hour from Aix-en-Provence - Forcalquier - Provence. In a sublime landscape with views stretching for several kilometers, this classical palace built around 1720 perfectly illustrates the French art of living during the Regency period, worthy of the film Que la fête commence. The architectural magnificence of what is considered the finest 18th-century chateau in Provence is matched only by the extraordinary effort required to build it during the last plague epidemic in Europe, in Marseille from 1720 to 1722, combined with colossal financial means born from the financial euphoria of John Law's banking system. A work by the great Parisian architect Pierre-Alexis Delamair, who designed the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris, now home to the National Archives, its construction was entrusted to Jean-Baptiste Franque, who created some of the finest 18th-century monuments in Provence, notably in Aix and Avignon. Its 18th-century classical architecture, strongly inspired by Parisian and Versailles architecture, is particularly refined, classical and symmetrical, centered around a projecting central section with three bays of French windows beneath a large pediment. It is known as the Trianon of Provence. Its gables are equally remarkable, with extremely rich sculptures, elaborate wrought-iron balconies, and on the park side, overlooking from a broad terrace the vast formal French gardens recently recreated, the central projection of the façade displays a sumptuous portico of four fully rounded columns, exceptionally rare for a private residence in the 18th century, as such elements inspired by Antiquity were reserved for the highest-ranking figures connected to the royal family. Inside, beneath ceilings reaching 5.3 meters high and flooded with light from every direction, the entrance hall opens onto the grand 80 m² reception salon. It is decorated with pilasters topped by Ionic capitals, echoed by monumental free-standing columns leading to the majestic staircase, entirely open through its grand flight of steps rising to the upper floor, populated with columns forming balconies dramatically overlooking the hall. It is undoubtedly one of the finest private 18th-century staircases in France. The ground floor opens on every side into a sequence of reception rooms with very restrained décor, left unfinished in the 18th century after the collapse of Law's banking system in 1720, in which the Forbin family, patrons of the property, are said to have participated. A grand salon, a music room adorned with a balustrade, a salon with alcove and niche, a large dining room with a neo-Gothic fireplace, an entrance hall on the south gable at the location of the former chapel, two large rooms used as visitor boutiques, and a mezzanine apartment with 3 bedrooms. Linen room, WC. A mezzanine apartment on the south gable, a kitchen, a living/dining room, access via the south staircase; on the mezzanine level upstairs, an office, a linen room, two bedrooms, and access to the mezzanine of the music salon. On the first floor, an extraordinary and highly impressive gallery 45 meters long runs alongside the majestic columned hall overlooking the staircase. 8 very beautiful bedrooms, some with antechambers and private cabinets, decorated with fireplaces. A billiard-library adorned with magnificent 19th-century wallpapers. A chapel. A large attic. Large and beautiful vaulted stone cellars. Wine cellars. Tunnel. Central heating in part of the chateau. In the outbuildings: Two guesthouses with 2 and 3 bedrooms. A 3-bedroom residence. A reception hall seating 150 guests in the former orangery, professional kitchen, restrooms. A large garage for 2 cars. A swimming pool. Sumptuous terraced gardens arranged along a 500-meter axial perspective: 300 meters of grand avenue facing the chateau and 270 meters on the terraced garden side. Embroidery gardens recreating the original 18th-century plans by Pierre-Alexis Delamair preserved in Munich, reconstructed in 2023, highlighted by a monumental stone obelisk. A very beautiful and large ornamental pond with its fountain to the north. 18th-century double-flight staircases. Location: -2.5 km from the first shops and services. A hotel 1.5 km away. -3 km from a 5-star hotel. -5 km from Forcalquier, all shops and services. -20 km from the A51 motorway. -67 km from Aix-en-Provence (1 hour). -87 km from Aix TGV station (1h10). Paris in 2h50. Price: 5,900,000 euros agency fees included, payable by the seller. Fees to be paid by the seller. Not subject to DPE.

Restored with exquisite taste over the past 25 years by a passionate aesthete, this elegant 18th-century chateau with its symmetrical classical architecture is nestled within a precious and refined green setting of boxwood embroidery gardens, topiaries, a maze, and a green theatre at the foot of the Pyrenees, 1h30 from Biarritz and the sea. Built around 1750, this elegant country residence has survived in a remarkable state of authenticity, retaining its original decorative elements: wooden floors, stone and terracotta tile floors, wood paneling, fireplaces, overmantels, wainscoting, and double doors. This balanced, human-scale architecture perfectly expresses the French art of country living in the 18th century, flooded with light from every side, with a reception ground floor composed of beautiful interconnected 18th-century salons. The central calade pathway, typical of southern France, crosses the boxwood embroidery gardens and topiaries in a magical and refined atmosphere, leading to the grand staircase of the majestic central projection and then to the entrance hall with its highly authentic stone floor, opening in every direction onto sequences of salons bathed in light through large-paned windows with dual exposure. The grand dining room opens fully south toward the village facing the church, through a large staircase leading to a boxwood embroidery parterre separated from the village by a moat. The interior of the chateau is typical of everything the French 18th century can offer in terms of refinement and art de vivre, particularly through the 5 beautiful interconnected salons adorned with their 18th-century décor, wide-plank wooden floors, terracotta tiles, fireplaces, overmantels, Versailles parquet flooring, woodwork, and paneled walls. A dining room with wood paneling adjoining the kitchen, service staircase, and service corridor. An 18th-century alcove bedroom. A library with Empire-style woodwork.

Two bathrooms, including one in marble with a beautiful early 20th-century marble and pitchpine vanity unit. A large salon with a service staircase leading to the kitchen. Large cellars, including a grand chateau kitchen in the basement. The most remarkable outbuilding is the sumptuous monumental orangery with three south-facing arcades and particularly refined and spectacular architecture. The acroterion cornice supports four Louis XIV-style flame pots, giving this building exceptional elegance, as well as extraordinary comfort for enjoying the garden through the draped arcades beneath monumental ceiling heights. A large barn converted into an event hall equipped with a stainless-steel kitchen. A charming farmyard bordered by a henhouse and a shelter with particularly elegant wooden columns. A discreet and authentic chapel beneath a blue vaulted ceiling painted with stars, terracotta tile flooring, and a remarkable 17th-century polychrome carved wooden altarpiece. In a nearby building accessed by a calade pathway: the former kitchens, three beautiful rooms with terracotta floors, beams and fireplaces, and a large attic ready for conversion. Two exterior WCs. Enchanting boxwood gardens created 20 years ago of exceptional quality, with dreamlike viewpoints, composed in front of the chateau of particularly sophisticated and refined boxwood embroidery gardens and topiaries. On the village side, a terrace of embroidery gardens as well. To the side, crossing a small bridge over the former moats sheltering a romantic streamside garden, the majestic semi-circular terraced green theatre unfolds around a water feature bordered with schist stone. Monumental yew pilasters rising above hornbeam and beech hedges lend an architectural grandeur to this landscaped folly. A perspective lined with sculptures along hornbeam and beech hedges. An extraordinary and rare green maze formed from beech hedges worthy of the greatest 18th-century chateaux. This garden is an exceptional work of art, reflecting a rare mastery of the art and history of gardens in Europe; planted 20 years ago, it has now reached full maturity, offering exceptional beauty and atmosphere. Swimming pool integrated into ornamental basins with marble coping stones. Three entrances with large 18th-century pillars and gates. A free parcel of land suitable for parking outside the park.

Exclusive listing - A quasi-royal château - The finest and most outstanding 18th-century château in Anjou 300 hectares - Private racecourse -17th18th century architecture - Magnificent park designed by Edouard André - Sumptuous 18th-century interior decoration featuring marble and wood paneling - Private racecourse - Listed historic monument - 300 km from Paris, Angers, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire. Set within 300 hectares, this property of royal appearance, owned in the 19th century by descendants of the English royal family, stands as one of the most brilliant and sumptuous historic estates in western France, both for its classical 17th- and 18th-century architecture, its park designed by the great landscape architect Edouard André (notably responsible for the Monte Carlo park), and its interior decoration marked by superb 18th-century woodwork, a grand gallery, and a sumptuous marble salon; all overlooking, with a magnificent view, a rare private racecourse still in operation. The majestic private avenue, over one kilometer long and lined with century-old plane trees, winds through the park, offering superb vistas, and leads to a grand perspective revealing the most beautiful, brilliant, and elegant 18th-century château in Anjou, after passing through classical gardens of topiary, pools, and fountains. This property, described as quasi-royal, is clearly inspired by the Palace of Versailles: three grand approach perspectives, a U-shaped courtyard around a 17th-century building begun in 1635 and expanded in the 18th century with two lateral wings of outbuildings opening onto inner courtyards, and an eastwest orientation capturing sunlight throughout the day. Beyond the gate and the ha-has, the château's elegant courtyard is overlooked by a statue of Minerva symbolizing peace.

Painted and armorial stained glass from the 16th century depict a knight and Saint James. At the other end of the gallery, a fine 18th-century wood-paneled salon with a marble fireplace opens onto the garden, the dining room, and the grand marble salon. The marble salon, directly inspired by the Salon of War and Salon of Peace at Versailles, occupies a neoclassical pavilion built specifically in 1780. With 6-meter ceilings and 8.4 meters beneath the dome, flooded with light from six large French windows, this 80 m² salon features sumptuous 18th-century decoration in French marble, mirrors, pilasters with Ionic capitals, medallions, a marble fireplace with gilded bronze and Italian micro-mosaics, marble mosaic flooring, and 18th-century Italian marble marquetry panels. Two terracotta overdoor panels bear inscriptions reflecting Enlightenment ideals. Beneath a monumental domed ceiling with trellis decoration and a balustraded gallery, its dual east and south exposure offers a splendid dominant view of the racecourse. It is one of the most exceptional 18th-century private interiors in France. A sumptuous neoclassical rotunda built in 1905 houses the grand dining room, adorned with superb natural oak 18th-century wood paneling.

Also on the ground floor: a smaller wood-paneled dining room, a vast theatrical staircase hall with wrought-iron railing, and a refined small salon with a marble fireplace.
