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.

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.

Réf. 4866: Charming château near Avallon (Yonne) – ideal for a hotel business The château is situated in the Yonne department, in Burgundy. It lies at the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park, between the towns of Avallon and Vézelay. The château is set in the rural, rolling countryside typical of the Morvan, at an altitude of around 230 metres, in the midst of extensive wooded grounds. This location provides a peaceful, leafy natural setting, ideal for nature and heritage tourism. It is an excellent base from which to explore the treasures of southern Yonne and the Morvan. The main tourist attractions nearby are: The Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene in Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historic town of Avallon. The natural landscapes of the Morvan Regional Nature Park. The Chapel of Saulce-d’Island, a remnant of a former Templar and Hospitaller commandery. Numerous hiking trails, horse riding routes and Burgundian heritage sites. Two architectural periods thus coexist: a section dating from the 15th century, comprising a rectangular main building flanked by a rectangular tower at the front and a round tower at the rear; and two projections on the façades, one of which connects to the late 18th-century extension, consisting of a large rectangular structure with numerous windows, the east gable of which features two round towers. The corner buttresses are made of stone, as are the window towers. The roofs of the main buildings are covered with flat tiles; the roofs of the towers are slate. They are regularly maintained. The façades are covered with an old lime render. The current owners have converted this château into a commercial venture comprising, to date, around 25 rooms, flats and holiday cottages. A restaurant was in operation.

To the right is a large, double-length reception room of approximately 70 sqm, featuring a French-style ceiling painted with decorative motifs; the walls are entirely panelled in late 18th-century woodwork, and the floors are laid with parquet. The rest of this first floor has been entirely converted into around ten bedrooms and bathrooms. They have retained their original features, such as marble or stone fireplaces, parquet or terracotta tile floors, and partial or full panelling. The numerous windows flood the space with light. The second floor comprises a dozen bedrooms and bathrooms. The 18th-century section is partly in the attic. Here too, certain original features have been preserved.

Outbuildings : They cover an area of approximately 500 sqm. They are situated on the north side of the courtyard.

The main entrance is through a large wrought-iron gate leading into a spacious courtyard serving all the buildings. An old entrance on the south side opens onto a majestic avenue of chestnut trees, aligned with the château. From this avenue, one emerges onto a vast expanse of greenery, flanked on either side by meadows offering stunning views of the countryside and the foothills of the Morvan. There are some beautiful trees on the grounds. There is a small pond near the outbuildings. The whole property is idyllic, charming and completely free from any nuisance.

Fabulous 15th-century château completely restored on a closed forest estate of 100 hectares. Built in 1475 at the initiative of Chevalier François de Gebert, the château was erected on the site of a 13th-century fortress, of which only a cylindrical tower and the remains of a wall now stand. Marshals, captains, and marquises succeeded one another until 1865 when Marquis de Moges and his wife carried out significant restorations. It then became an orphanage, followed by a Family House, before being a restaurant hotel and now a private estate. No nuisances, the château is at the center of its enclosed forest domain of 96 hectares, twenty minutes from Tours, with highway access and all amenities 5 km away. The château: Ground floor: An entrance, two large lounges, one with a large period fireplace, professional kitchen, office. Upstairs: 13 suites with private bathrooms and toilets.

A rare property, ideal as a family home, a high-end guesthouse or a tourism venture in the heart of the Allier. The outbuildings are a real asset to the property. They include, in particular, a garage, a former stable and several ancillary buildings offering a wide range of potential uses: storage, a workshop or additional accommodation, depending on the plans. The estate also features two detached houses, each with two bedrooms. They offer excellent potential for seasonal lettings, holiday cottages or tourist accommodation. They can also accommodate family, friends, staff or a caretaker in the utmost comfort. This collection of outbuildings lends the property great versatility and is a major asset for developing an income-generating business, whilst preserving the estate’s authentic character and elegance.
