45 minutes from Saint-Malo, an 18th-century estate. The estate includes a castle, three converted outbuildings, a reception hall, an outdoor swimming pool, and a chapel. It is currently organized for hosting weddings, family stays, and private events. The accommodation capacity is sixteen rooms, totaling 960 m² of living space. The buildings are situated within a 25-hectare park, where walking paths lined with streams reveal the natural wealth of valleys, woods, and ponds. Chateaubriand mentions in his writings the painter François-Agathon Pinot-du-Petit-Bois, who lived here at that time and whose paintings were found by the current occupants in the attics. Meticulously restored, these works are now displayed in the lounges and rooms of the castle. Oriented north-south, the main house of about 450 m² dates back to the 19th century. It is backed by an ancient manor, whose known origins date back to 1429. To the north, the central body is flanked by two pavilions topped with long slate roofs. The facade is tall, rhythmically featuring six regular bays over three levels. The walls are covered with yellow plaster, and the door and window frames and corner chains are made of red granite. A significant central dormer with flaps, topped with a sculpted pediment, crowns the whole, while a corner turret rises to the northwest. On the south side, facing the grand garden of the park, the old house is built of dressed sandstone and granite. Under a slate roof, this rectangular building is rhythmically arranged with seven regular bays over three levels.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Ref.4341: Beautiful property for sale in the french Centre area. On the borders of the Sologne and Pays-Fort Sancerrois regions, in the department of Cher, stands the silhouette of this beautiful 19th-century masterpiece. Strategically located in the centre of France, it is within easy reach of the capital (185 km), the first ski resorts (Clermont-Ferrand, 230 km) and Switzerland (Geneva, 410 km). More locally, towns such as Aubigny sur Nère have all the shops and services you need. The town also has a bread depot. The pleasant town of Aubigny sur Nère boasts a rich historical past, as evidenced by its castle, which earned it the name of ‘City of the Stuarts’. It was in 1421, following a Franco-Scottish victory at the Battle of Baugé, that the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII, donated the seigneury of Aubigny to Lord John Stuart of Darnley to thank him for lending him a helping hand. Later, his descendant Robert Stuart built the castle that bears his name, which today houses the Auld Alliance Interpretation Centre. This handsome castle, with its imposing stance, reveals living spaces that are human in scale and easy to use. Facing north-south, it comprises a central body built of brick and dressed stone chainwork topped with a slate gable roof, flanked on either side by two symmetrical pavilions of the same style. With almost 900 sqm of living space, the castle comprises two stories over a basement, with an attic that can be converted as follows: Ground floor: a vast hallway of approx. 60 sqm with 3.8 m (9.9 ft) high ceilings leads to a dining room with a fireplace to the east, followed by a lovely, luminous kitchen. To the north is a study and to the west, a billiards room and a lounge. A dressing room, wc and two stairwells (main and secondary) complete this first level. On the first floor, a long corridor leads to 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms or shower rooms, some with wc. Attic above. Full basement with games room, fitness room, cinema room, boiler room, laundry room, swimming pool room, woodshed and storage space. The outbuildings: To the south-east of the château, with private access, a house of around 300 m² offers interesting potential. Now divided into 3 dwellings, it is currently being renovated: A first flat on the ground floor with a large living room, utility room and bathroom. A second flat on two levels with a living room with open-plan kitchen, utility room and toilet on the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet on the first floor. A third and final flat on the first floor with a living room and open-plan kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a shower room with toilet. To the north is a large hangar of approx. 300 m² used as a garage, which could also be used for other projects. Finally, to the east, an 11x5 m heated chlorine swimming pool with a pleasant pool house equipped with a kitchenette/bar, sanitary facilities and a terrace promises pleasant moments of relaxation. In a quiet, discreet setting, in the heart of 32 acres of grounds, the château enjoys a dominant position with uninterrupted views over the countryside. To the south of the chateau is a beautiful English-style parkland, perfectly maintained and planted with numerous trees of varying species. To the north, a forest has been converted into a racetrack and a young plantation of 1,000 vines completes this homogeneous ensemble. All of this forms a natural ring around the château, separating it from the neighbouring cereal crops and meadows and giving it all the privacy expected of such a residence.

An elegant 19th-century chateau, its orangery, guesthouses, water feature and grounds, of more than 9 ha, 40 minutes from the Toulouse city centre. The main entrance to the estate leads to an earthen esplanade bordered by a low wall next to a cypress hedge, while, in the middle, a wrought iron gate with its fine scrolls opens onto a driveway that winds through the parkland. To the left, perched on a small hill, the five-storey chateau overlooks the entire estate. Built on the site of a former 16th-century fortified castle, it has a four-sided slate roof. Its perron offers a view over the park with its multi-century trees, while its ground floor was restored in order to host small events and includes a kitchen with catering equipment. As for the main staircase, it leads to the first floor, currently undergoing renovations, followed by the second floor, in need of restoration. To the west of the chateau, there is a dovecote with arcades and a pagoda-like flat-tile roof topped by a lantern. The remaining outbuildings are situated to the south: villas that have been turned into gîtes (guest lodgings), a main dwelling and another building in need of a renovation. Opposite the chateau, a water feature takes pride of place in the centre of the lawn. To the right, there is a swimming pool with a pool house, ideal for light meals and large enough to host up to a hundred guests. Extending on from here, an orangery, of approximately 600 m2, includes a kitchen with catering equipment of some 100 m2, and is bordered by a terrace that runs along one side of the pond and preceded by a parking area for approximately 200 vehicles and accessible to buses. Finally, a track at the back leads to a fully renovated tennis court and provides access to one of the estate's secondary entrances.

An elegant, 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in Vendee's lowland bocage countryside on the outskirts of La-Roche-sur-Yon. A central, 200 m long alleyway, lined with oak trees, crosses 10 hectares of fields before reaching the main entrance. This is guarded by a hunting lodge and tall metal gates. A perimeter wall encloses the property. The 3 hectares of parklands, gardens landscaped in 1893 and redesigned in 2002, are planted with several trees over a hundred years old, including sequoia, ash, oak and lime trees. They also have numerous camellia, azalea and boxwood bushes. Alleyways lead to the various outbuildings of the chateau, some of which have been so well renovated that they are able to accommodate up to 40 guests. The property’s two swimming pools, one heated indoor pool and one outdoor pool, make it possible to take relaxing dips from April through until October. An orangery is but an invitation to read and relax. On the sides and in front of the chateau are the old wash-house, the bread oven and the moat, all bearing witness to its history.

A fully renovated manor with a heated swimming pool and garden, 2.5 hours from Paris, near Valençay. A poplar-lined drive leads to the manor, which is, in turn, surrounded by fields and woods, while, dating from the 16th century, it features a silhouette typical of dwellings in the Berry region. With three floors under a tall flat tile roof, on one side, a square tower with a hipped roof was recently added and designed to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the dwelling, whereas, on the opposite corner, a round tower with a pepperpot roof dates back to the manor’s construction. As for the conservatory, it connects the main dwelling with a lower perpendicular wing, while the dwelling’s main façade, overlooking the courtyard, is cadenced by a number of small-paned windows. With a five-sided bay window preceding the central front door, the dwelling, currently operated as a bed-and-breakfast, has been meticulously renovated, whereas the nearby swimming pool comes with a pool house, featuring a kitchen and living room, as well as a summer dining room. Lastly, the grounds, of approximately 1.3 hectares, provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The 'Mas de la Brune', a listed, Renaissance-style gem, its 4 ha of parklands and its gardens at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in Eygalières. At the end of a row of two-hundred-year-old horse chestnut trees, three interconnected constructions comprise the buildings on this predominantly wooded, 4-ha property. The first is the Renaissance-style manor house, known as the 'Mas de la Brune', constructed in 1572; the only building of this type, standing in the middle of the land, rising up like a nave, proudly showing visitors the prow of its watch-turret. Directly adjoining the manor, a more recent construction dating from the 18th century stands in the shade of a three-hundred-year-old lime tree. This building once housed the staff accommodation. And lastly, on the east side, where a perimeter wall no doubt once existed, a rehabilitated farmhouse is separated from the manor by a row of cypress trees. Opening on to a vast courtyard that extends behind the French formal garden, it acts as a link with the rest of the parklands, where the permanent singing of the precious water, coming down from the Alpilles Mountains via the canal of the same name, can be heard. The French Historic Monument listing, dating from the 9 August 1924, applies solely to the 'Mas de la Brune', already showing on Cassini’s 18th century map under the name of 'Grand Mas'. Some say it was constructed for the consul Pierre-Bruno-Isnard, who gave it the feminine version of his surname, whilst others maintain it was for an alchemist, whose name is long forgotten. In both cases, this outstanding building, entirely constructed from Baux stone, was probably built by master mason, Gaston-Flayelle, native of the Vivarais region, who also designed the 'Hôtel de Manville' in Les-Baux-de-Provence. The size of the manor house, its biblical paraphrases sculpted on the façade, like a big open book, and including the secret number of steps of its spiral stairway tend to reinforce the hypothesis of an alchemist’s home. A spacious tiled swimming pool, cleverly concealed from onlookers in a copse of laurel bushes, has been installed a good distance from the main house. And lastly, a carpark, out of sight of the manor but able to take ten or so cars, has been laid out in the shade of mulberry plane trees.

A noble Renaissance-era dwelling, its holiday cottage and outbuildings in a 2-hectare enclosed park overlooking the valley, within the Périgord Blanc region. Dating from the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries, the property stands on a hillside, protected by woodlands to the south and overlooking the valley to the north and west. The high north end walls of the main edifice, with sparse openings, the buttresses and the round tower of the current guest house testify to the fact that this was once a fortified castle. A tree-lined driveway leads from the entrance gate to the noble residence, while a track running alongside the tennis court meets the outbuildings and a swimming pool at the bottom of a slope. A barely visible lap pool is perfectly embedded in the park surrounding the complex. The residence is framed by two enclosed spaces, each offering a breathtaking view: the courtyard where the main entrance is located, a well topped by a pyramid-shaped roof, an outbuilding used as a garden shed, a hangar for vehicles, as well as a pool facing a low pilaster and dressed stone wall. All of these are accessed via a carriage gate, a pedestrian gate and a recently installed gate. On the other side of the residence, the lawned garden with bountiful flowers features a summer dining area under a covered patio.

40 minutes south of Toulouse, a 18th-century manor house, with outbuildings in 4,700 m² of grounds. This property was built around 1760 and then rebuilt during the 18th century by the Marquis de Sers. It occupies the same site as a medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. The rectangular building is entirely made of brick and boasts a pavilion at each of its four corners. Protruding brick cornices denote the separation between the two storeys of the edifice and underline the roof. On the façade, a semi-circular arched doorway sets the tone, whilst in the equivalent place at the rear, there is a rectangular French window. The façade faces the village square that occupies the manor house’s former domain, with views to the horizon of the green hills that overlook the municipality. In front of the edifice, the garden / courtyard is planted with rose bushes and rhododendrons, under the finely statured branches of two horse chestnut trees and two lime trees. Together, they provide freshness as well as shade in summer and light plus warmth in winter. The courtyard is surrounded by three buildings: the manor house, former stables and a hangar, forming a coherent architectural whole that protects against prying eyes and wind. Behind this brick screen, there is a second garden - the Garonne garden - which extends up to a discrete gate to the village’s church, which was the castle’s chapel in bygone days. It is framed by two mounds, most likely the former medieval moat. It is square in shape and retains subtle traces of its past as an ornamental garden, with geometric patterns and an elegant thoroughness. Two fountains - one in the garden / courtyard and the other in the Garonne garden - provide a gentle touch to the place. To the west, in a discrete corner of the Garonne garden, a swimming pool stands in its rightful place, lined with irises, rose bushes, olive trees and a few palm trees.

A listed historical monument medieval castle in tree-filled land, with 4-hectare grounds, a swimming pool and a tennis court in the Hautes-Pyrénées area. This castle is an admirable remnant of the Hautes-Pyrénées’ heritage and is perfectly preserved. It boasts a thousand-year history and is a listed historical monument. Its first foundations date, in all likelihood, from the 11th century when the defensive tower was used to protect the surrounding fields from pillaging and plundering, in particular by the Aragonese forces. Although the building has undergone many transformations as time has passed, its 15th-century eastern façade has remained unchanged. The edifice was acquired by the Count of Lavedan in 1274, a year during which he received the seigniory of Horgues from the Count of Bigorre to clear a debt. From Raymond-Garcie IV de Lavedan to Jean-Pierer Ducasse de Horgues, over a period of more than 500 years, the castle had almost twenty illustrious owners. From that point in time until 2018, the estate was owned by the same family. The medieval castle with two towers was built on the outskirts of the village and was overhauled in the 17th and 18th centuries. Through a double leaf wrought iron gate, a plane tree lined drive runs alongside rubble stone built former stables with a roof of half round tiles, opposite the castle and its imposing silhouette, built in the 15th century and since transformed several times. In addition to the two towers on either side, the seigniorial residence is made up of two four-storey rectangular sections in a T-shape, each with a sprocketed, gabled slate roof. The two towers, one of which is square and the other which is rounded on one side and squared on the other, are both topped by an octagonal level adored with a slate roof of the same shape. It is thought that the tower to the southwest was added in the 18th century. Lastly, the castle’s former water mill can be found behind the residence. It is currently used as a holiday cottage, while the grounds spread out all around the buildings and, to the left of the castle, play host to a swimming pool.

A 16th-century chateau on 3.6-hectare grounds, ten minutes from downtown Albi, on the banks of the Tarn River. Built primarily between the 16th and 17th centuries, except for one of the chateau’s wings, which was later rebuilt in the 19th century, the chateau, listed as a regional historical monument, is closely linked to local history: this was the birthplace of Jean-François de Galaup in 1741, Count of Lapérouse and a famous navigator and explorer, who spent his childhood here, while the dwelling has preserved, for the most part, its 18th-century layout. Accessible via a metal gate, which opens on to a tree-lined lane that leads to the chateau’s courtyard, the property features a patio that skirts the edifice and overlooks the nearby meadows that descend towards the Tarn, visible through the trees. Below, a swimming pool blends in seamlessly with the property’s rolling topography, while a former nymphaeum, most likely created in the 19th century and supplied with water via a natural spring, is located off to one side. As for the grounds, of approximately 3.6 hectares, they feature tall trees, ornamental plants, pastureland and wooded areas, whereas the chateau enjoys unobstructed panoramas of the river from its patio and exteriors.

An isolated 14th and 17th century castle divided into four homes, in the middle of 34 hectares of land in the Dordogne area, to the northwest of Périgueux. This estate, in the heart of a rural and undulating environment, away from large and medium-sized thoroughfares, is spread out over more than 34 hectares of meadows, organic farmland and woods. The buildings, located in the centre of this land, are surrounded by parkland and boast an inner courtyard, gardens, patios and an approximately 1-hectare orchard. The property benefits from uninterrupted 360° views. It is made up of a main edifice with two wings in an L-shape flanked by an imposing 14th-century round tower where they join, a farm with its various farm buildings near to the passing road and, lastly, set slightly away from the rest, a swimming pool with a view overlooking the surrounding nature. The rubble stone and ashlar façades are mostly rendered, with mainly rectangular doors and windows, some of which have mullions and transoms, while the mainly gabled roofs are made up of half-round or flat tiles. The main entrance to the property is formed by a drive, lined with hundred-year-old trees and a long farm building, that leads to an inner courtyard closed by a gate. A secondary entrance runs alongside a lawned, shaded parking area to the west wing of the castle.

A 15th-century chateau, its outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool, surrounded by 21 hectares of unoccupied land, along the outskirts of the Quercy region, twenty minutes from Brive-la-Gaillarde. In the 14th century, the lands owned by the de Chabannes family were transferred to Adhémar d’Aigrefeuille, Baron of Gramat, before the de Muzac family, whose patriarch was the King of France’s sergeant-at-arms, took possession of the estate in the next century, pledging his allegiance to the Viscount of Turenne in the process. Through marriages and successive inheritances, the fiefdom was then passed down to the de Tournier family of Corrèze, followed by that of the de Materre de Chauffour family, which owned it until 1870. Left abandoned for nearly a century, the dwelling was given a new life in 1966 when a painter and his wife bought the chateau, nearly in ruins, and undertook a large-scale restoration. From the wrought-iron gate, which indicates the estate’s formal entrance, a gravel lane traverses a large swath of lawn and leads to the property’s upper patio, the latter of which skirts the southeast exterior of the oldest of the three dwellings. Faithful to the origin of its name, the dwelling is made up of two adjacent edifices, which hug the land’s natural slope: the older of the two is located above the more recent construction, whereas the two wings are partially connected via a third dwelling abutting a square tower-dovecote. The upper edifice, from the late 15th century, is made up of a rectangular structure, the western part of which was completely reassembled with original materials recovered from the rubble after 1945, while a stately hexagonal tower, with a lauze slate tile roof, juts forward into the courtyard. In addition, mullioned windows, including two corner ones behind the dwelling, cadence its exteriors, whereas, in the interior corner of the second building, in all likelihood built in the late 17th century, a circular tower, completely rebuilt in 2025, is topped with a lauze slate roof. This same dwelling also features a balcony with balusters, supported by a basket-handle arch, while a series of dormers, crowned with finials, punctate the various rooftops – long, conical, pavilion and hipped – that have been deftly blended together. Lastly, slate and barrel tiles as well as tall chimneys, gracefully coiffed, create an overall aesthetic and aerial composition, whereas the outbuildings – a Limousin-style barn and a former hunting lodge – provide the finishing touches for this remarkable and historical estate.

A 19th century chateau with 14.5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère. This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat 'beaver tail' tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.

A 19th-century manor and its outbuildings on a 22-hectare estate, thirty minutes from the town of Vichy in the north of the Puy-de-Dôme department. Perched up on a hill, this rectangular three-storey building is topped with a flat tile roof and flanked by a round tower on one side and a rectangular-shaped wing on the other. With grounds extending over approximately 22 hectares, its upper floors provide panoramic views of the nearby hills and the Limagne plain in the distance, while, the chateau, abutting a wooded hillside, is surrounded by large meadows below. As for the property’s reception rooms, they are located on the other side of a courtyard, behind the chateau, as are a caretaker’s cottage and various other outbuildings.

An exceptional historic French castle located at 30 minutes from Brantôme, in the heart of the Périgord Vert region of Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Widely regarded as one of the most authentic restored castles in Southwest France, the property combines medieval fortifications, Renaissance architecture and modern comfort in a remarkably preserved setting. Originally built as a fortified stronghold and subsequently transformed into an elegant Renaissance residence, the château retains numerous heritage features, including medieval towers, a historic guard room, the former drawbridge entrance, monumental heraldic fireplaces and documented connections to Anne of Brittany and King Louis XII. Constructed from the region’s distinctive pale limestone, the château is renowned for its striking appearance and architectural significance. Fully restored between 1994 and 2020, the estate offers approximately 778 square metres of living accommodation, complemented by a separate 130-square-metre orangery. The grounds include a heated swimming pool, private walled gardens, outbuildings, an artesian well, deep-water boreholes and discreetly integrated modern systems that ensure contemporary comfort while preserving the historical integrity of the property. Set within one of France’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations, celebrated for its heritage, gastronomy and natural beauty, the château represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored historic castle in Dordogne. Combining royal heritage, architectural authenticity, privacy and modern amenities, the estate is ideally suited as a prestigious private residence, a family estate or a long-term heritage investment in France.

At the end of a long driveway stands this beautoful château steeped in history, nestled in the heart of the Gascon countryside, in a preserved and natural setting. Set on nearly 19.5 hectares of land, this remarkable estate captivates with its timeless elegance, peaceful surroundings, and rare architectural heritage. A chapel dating back to 1607, whose keystone still bears its original inscription, reminds us of the ancient parish that once existed on this site. The property remained in the hands of prominent families for centuries, including that of Antoine de Coux, Bishop of Condom, and the d'Anglade d'Autièges family, until it was sold in 1788. The château was then preserved by their descendants for over a century before being passed on to other local families. Today, the château offers a renovated ground floor of approximately 280 m², featuring a spacious entrance hall, a grand and light-filled dining/reception room with monumental fireplace, a warm and inviting living room with fireplace, a functional kitchen, a library with fireplace, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room. All ground-floor rooms benefit from beautiful high ceilings. Many original elements have been preserved, including mullioned windows, period parquet flooring, original staircases, stone fireplaces, and noble materials throughout. The property is both elegant and comfortable, with central heating. The first floor, approximately 295 m², is accessed by a beautiful stone staircase and offers a large landing. A wide L-shaped corridor leads to five generous rooms to be renovated, perfect for creating additional bedrooms and bathrooms. The attic is convertible and features an impressive traditional timber framework. The château is built over full cellars, some of them vaulted, and accessible via a wide stone staircase. Outside, the landscaped park with a working well creates an exceptional natural setting, highlighted by a magnificent three-century-old cedar tree. A former rabbit warren adds a romantic touch to the scenery. On the east side, a charming courtyard with a central well and fan-shaped stone staircase adds unique character to this beautiful property, which also enjoys open views over the surrounding countryside. Two garages, a former orangery awaiting renovation, and the chapel complete this elegant ensemble. A 10 x 5 m saltwater swimming pool, bordered with travertine stone, invites you to relax in complete tranquillity.

Ref. 4137: Charming castle for sale, for professional use, near vendeen coast Situated in the south of the Vendée bocage, near vendeen coast, the Château is on the edge of a picturesque village, not far from an attractive town with all amenities. It is ideally suited to tourism, with a restaurant and professional kitchen, guest rooms and two gîtes. The bocage region of the Vendée is mainly made up of fields surrounded by coppice, hedges and copses, forming a landscape of unspoilt natural charm. The small village where the Château is located has a rich history: in the 15th century, this trading town was renowned throughout the region for its fairs and varied crafts. In 1721, it was one of the twenty largest towns in Bas-Poitou! The fairs lost their importance in the 16th century, and after the Revolution they were held only four times a year. Built between 1850 and 1856, this Château is typical of the buildings of the period: a vast, ostentatious residence in keeping with the recovery and reconstruction of the region after the Vendée War. It is a square building, two storeys high. The garden level has a large surface area thanks to two low wings with concealed roofs, while the central mass rises over four levels of windows above a brick base. This strong vertical effect is accentuated by the high chimney stacks and corbelled turrets at each corner, known as pepperboxes. In addition, the rear façade features a polygonal front decorated with an attractive superimposition of Ionic and Corinthian orders. Inside, after climbing a granite staircase, visitors are welcomed into a vast entrance hall (40 sqm) with columns with composite capitals opening onto a beautiful dining room (43 sqm) with fine wood panelling, parquet flooring and a fireplace. Ceiling height is 4.50 metres. To the left are three reception rooms (40 sqm, 45 sqm and 22 sqm). On the right-hand side, the more technical part, a corridor with wood panelling and stucco leads to a professional kitchen (38 sqm), an office, cold rooms and toilets that can accommodate the public (PMR standard). A huge, beautifully curved staircase leads to the upper floors. It has a remarkable original wrought-iron banister. The upper floors can also be accessed via a back staircase. On the first floor, a vast corridor leads to four bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet, located in one of the four towers. All have beautiful oak parquet flooring. The second floor has the same layout as the first, with four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and toilet. Beautiful oak parquet flooring. The attic is partly converted, with a small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The other part can be converted. A huge cellar completes the ensemble: a large central corridor with external exits at each end leads to a group of nine fully vaulted, stone-paved rooms. It covers the entire surface area of the Château. The outbuildings comprise: The orangery : This pretty stone and brick building with a slate roof is in need of restoration. It is 24 m long and 11 m wide. A large attic is possible. The stables : This rendered stone building dates from 1880 and comprises a central building flanked by two wings. The building requires restoration works. It is 26 metres long and 13 metres wide. The building includes garages, stables, a tack room and the possibility of attics throughout. The gîtes : In the former orchard, separated from the Château, surrounded by old stone walls, two gîtes have been restored. The first gîte sleeps 6 people (€1,000 in high season) and the second sleeps 4 (€760 in high season). A swimming pool (5x10m) allows guests to cool off after visiting the rich heritage of the Vendée. The park covers approximately 6,18 acres, some of which is enclosed by walls. The English-style park is planted with large trees of various species. In particular, there are two huge sequoias. The woodland of around one hectare is planted mainly with oaks. Away from the Château is the orchard, enclosed by old walls: several fruit trees, including fig, mirabelle, apple and peach trees.
