A neo-Palladian chateau with outhouses, set in nine hectares of lawns and woods near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and 35 kilometres from the French capital. Railings painted bottle green form a concave shape that is centred upon a wrought-iron gate leading into the property, where a remarkable neoclassical chateau built in 1846 stands proudly. A vast lush lawn extends immediately beyond the gate. The chateau lies further on. Straight to the right of the wrought-iron gate there is a pedestrian gate in the same style as the main gate and a caretaker’s lodge made of brick and rubble stone. The chateau’s design is neo-Palladian. The magnificent edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The building is rectangular and made of dressed stone. All its elevations are coated with white rendering that has a slightly pink tint. A raised terrace and a series of evenly spaced columns form a portico at the top of four front steps. This portico leads to the chateau’s main entrance door. Four majestic Doric columns feature in this tetrastyle portico. A terrace lies above their capitals. This terrace is edged with an architrave and a finely crafted balustrade. Along the facade, 11 bays per floor offer sweeping views of the beautiful grounds in front of the chateau. The window ledges and their corbels are made of dressed stone. The windows are fitted with shutters, the pale blue tone of which brings out the edifice’s hues. A neoclassical pediment with three windows rises up in the middle of the facade, on the chateau’s top floor. A long row of Greek dentils underline the entablature, adding a light touch of elegance to the grand edifice. Dormers and skylights neatly punctuate the roof. The rear elevation has an architectural design that is similar to the facade. But here a distyle portico marks the entrance where a tetrastyle portico adorns the front. The chateau’s hipped slate roof is in perfect condition. Red-brick chimney stacks rise up from it. Beyond the chateau there is an annexe that looks like a grand country house. Work was carried out on the property in the late 19th century. During this phase, a farmhouse, an outbuilding and a dovecote were added in the property’s north-east corner. An outer wall encloses most of the grounds, where vast lush lawns extend, edged by broad-leaved trees. Archaeological remains may be buried beneath these grounds. The property is remarkably peaceful and soothing. Tranquillity reigns here.

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.

On the footsteps of Joan of Arc, a small village castle from the 16th century. The property is located in the center of the village, overlooking the plain, facing the church. It consists of the union of two buildings made of stone covered with lime plaster. The first building aligns with the street, probably an old agricultural outbuilding, on two levels with an ornate corner console, four openings, three bull's-eye windows, and a wooden garage door. It extends perpendicularly into a main part preceded by a gravel courtyard at the entrance, a terrace at the back with a garden, and a slope planted with conifers, shrubs, and fruit trees on the south gable. The whole also includes a dependency on a single level, covered with mechanical tiles, extending from the old agricultural outbuilding. The entire main building, the facades and roofs of the secondary structure, the footprint of the courtyard, and the enclosing wall with the old gate are classified as a Historical Monument.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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 sophisticatedly decorated, elegant manor rebuilt in 1912 in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, in 1.76-hectare grounds, 50 minutes from Toulouse and its airport, close to Montauban. A dead-end lane leads to the main entrance to the estate, which is framed by two imposing umbrella pines with twisted trunks. Two ashlar pillars crowned by pyramid-shaped capitals topped with spheres stand either side of wide, grey, double-leaf, metal gates topped by railings. Once though the gate, visitors’ gazes are drawn by two fenced meadows, dotted with cedars and oaks, while a hedge hides the spaces set aside for parking. Opposite the drive, a brick fountain babbles away regularly in front of the main building in the property. The three-storey manor boasts living space of approximately 520 m² and its façades are made of pink brinks punctuated by white dressed stone or rendered stone. The roof made of interlocking tiles and formed by unique series of interlinking sections is in very good condition. The 18th-century former dowager’s manor was entirely rebuilt in the 20th century by a Dutch diplomat, who became a benefactor of the village following the floods of 1930. He drew his inspiration from the modern Arts & Crafts movement that was fashionable in northern Europe at the time. He combined the architecture of noble aesthetics with the wealth of traditional craftsmanship know-how, as demonstrated by the sculpted panelling, oak flooring and staircases, moulded or coffered plasterwork on the ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, white Quercy stone or stained-glass windows in each room. Away from the main stoop, a clearing houses a swimming pool with light-coloured stone decking, surrounded by shrubs, flower beds and small bushes of aromatic plants. The pool’s technical facilities are housed in a nearby building. A shaded terrace stands next to the swimming pool. An orchard made up of old fruit tree varieties stretches out below to the left. Lastly, a wood occupies the edges of the entirely fenced property.

Backed by a wooded hill, with panoramic views of the Ardèche Mountains, a 16th-century Provençal castle in an 8-hectare estate. Access to the estate from the road is ensured by a large porch with stone pillars, a tiled roof, and a painted wooden gate, which opens onto a pebbled and landscaped inner courtyard. On the right side, a small French garden adorned with white roses adds refinement to the building. It is a typical castle of the 16th-century Provençal style, restored to preserve its authentic Ardèche character. Raised over two stories, one of which is convertible under the eaves, and oriented north-south, the residence features sober facades in dressed stone coated with lime, straight bays framed in white and fitted with painted wooden shutters in green, and finally, roofs with two or four panes of canal tiles bordered by three rows of tile overhangs. It is flanked by concrete terraces on the south and west. The eastern wing, connected to the castle by its northeast corner, houses a caretaker's accommodation and a loft with an orangery on two levels. Forming an L-shaped building extended by a paved terrace to the south, it displays, like the main body, the architectural characteristics typical of Provençal houses: plastered stone facades and country tiles with one or two slopes. The wing, once a stable for horses, was indeed built at the same time as the castle and later transformed into an orangery. The built complex is surrounded by a 1-hectare park, which includes trimmed hedges, a Japanese pond, a pool with views over the Payre valley, and an old tennis court. Traversed by hiking trails, a forest of oaks borders it, providing an ideal setting for nature lovers. For over 20 years, after about ten years of work, the castle has become a guesthouse with seven rooms, five of which are equipped for hosting, with private amenities. Its interior spaces blend antique furniture, delicate bedspreads, and lime-painted walls, which enhance the charm of the living areas. All roofs and the insulation of the upper floor were redone a few years ago. All windows are double-glazed.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century mansion with former outbuildings in 1-hectare grounds, in the centre of a village in the northwest of the Vendée area. The property is located in the village’s centre but is protected by 1 hectare of uninterrupted land, set around a 19th-century mansion, its outbuildings and a vast, walled orchard and vegetable garden. From the street, there are two successive entrances: to the north, a gate that has become the everyday entrance leads, via an open space, to a gravelled esplanade used for car parking, while to the south, the historical entrance opens in front of the mansion’s southern and most remarkable façade. The approximately 440-m² residence was erected in in 1881 and displays a balanced arrangement that mixes classical rigour with romantic ingenuity. It stands out thanks to its slate roofs topped by tall brick chimney stacks and punctuated by dormers with sculpted pediments. The rendered walls are dotted with tall windows equipped with louvred shutters and granite frames. The regularly shaped central section is flanked to the west by a rectangular tower and to the east by a round tower topped by a slender pepper-pot roof. The deep red central entrance door, framed by pilasters, stands atop a stone stoop that can be reached from a panoramic lawned terrace overlooking the tree-lined and flowery grounds. The Italian style outbuildings, known locally as the Clissonnais style, run alongside the west of the residence and extend to the former stabling area, which are remains of the original farm buildings. To the rear, there is an approximately 4,000-m² orchard and vegetable garden.

One hour from Paris, in Oise, a 13th-century castle with tourism activities, seminars, and rental residence. The castle, built in the 13th century by the Count of Clermont, stands out for its location above the Oise valley. Constructed from dressed stone from Saint-Maximin, extracted from local quarries, it was originally a medieval fortress that has retained its right-angled plan and its three irregular round towers, which testify to its initial defensive function. Over the centuries, the castle has gone through many renovations, particularly under the impetus of the Madaillan de Lesparre family, who undertook significant restoration work between the 15th and 17th centuries. Henry IV, close to Jean de Madaillan, stayed there several times, as did Cardinal Odet de Coligny. Much later, as the residence of the Baron of Condé in the second half of the 19th century, the castle was transformed without losing its original character. The building has approximately 1,000 m² of living space spread over five levels: a basement, a ground floor, two floors, and attics. The ground floor houses three reception rooms, one of which is located in the former armory. The upper floors are now divided into four independent apartments, complemented by workspaces that combine residential life with professional activity. At the façade, a double stone staircase leads to an elevated terrace bordered by balustrades. The uniformly distributed windows, the steep slate roof, and the overall sobriety reflect the successive transformations that have successfully combined medieval austerity with classical harmony. The park, covering an area of about two hectares, shares part of its land in a co-ownership that includes a few villas without disrupting the coherence of the estate.This description has been automatically translated from French.

10 minutes from the center of Albi, by the Tarn river, a 16th-century château and its 3.6-hectare park. The château was built between the 16th and 17th centuries, and later a wing was rebuilt in the 19th century. Classified as a historical monument, it is linked to local history. Jean-François de Galaup, Count of Lapérouse, a famous navigator and explorer born in 1741, spent his childhood there. The residence largely retains its organization from this period. Access to the property is via a metal gate leading to a tree-lined driveway up to the château courtyard. A surrounding terrace borders the building and overlooks the meadows that slope down toward the Tarn, visible through the trees. Below, a swimming pool is set in the slope of the land, while an old nymphaeum, likely created in the 19th century and fed by a spring, is situated away from the main area. The park, of about 3.6 hectares, consists of tall trees, ornamental plantings, meadows, and wooded areas. The plots spread around the château and provide views of the river from the terrace and façades.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the Drôme des Collines, a 18th-century castle with medieval origins, listed as a historical monument, along with its outbuildings and park. The property presents itself as a coherent ensemble established at the center of a wooded park, slightly elevated from the road leading to the village. The castle is built according to a rectangular plan, with a tower at each corner and a square keep flanked at the north wall. Covering an area of about 720 m², it rises over four levels. The broken-slope roofs and old tiles attest to successive construction campaigns. The facades, made of stone and light ochre plaster, alternate between regular openings and older cutouts, reflecting the evolution of the dwelling over the centuries. A straight pathway penetrates the park and serves the outbuildings located set back: old stables, orangerie, barns, and wood shed, organized around a service courtyard. The tall trees provide a natural shield that isolates the estate from its immediate surroundings. A wide terrace extends to the south, while the landscaped park gently descends towards the low lands. The whole is conceived as a lordly estate on a contained scale, where each building occupies its place in an orderly composition.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the Aude area, near to the Canal du Midi, an Italian style 18th century mansion with outbuildings in 8 hectares of grounds. A drive that runs past the outbuildings adjacent to the main building leads up to the mansion. All the buildings are set out in a continual straight line, though the mansion is one storey higher than its outbuildings. It was built in 1710 under the supervision of an Italian architect and has floor-space of approximately 1,200 m². It has three storeys and its main façade is split into nine bays. The two façades, facing east and west, boast remarkably simple lines, punctuated by the perfect symmetry of the openings, which are mostly rectangular and topped with fanlight windows on the lower two levels, surrounded by stone frames and equipped with louvred shutters. The hipped roof made of half-round terracotta tiles is surrounded by a cornice which is echoed in two moulded belt courses marking each level. The outbuildings, which are all rectangular and topped with gabled roofs or a half-hipped roof, stand adjacent to the mansion, mostly on its left-hand side. They are made up of three apartments, a hangar and a barn. Lastly, the 8-hectare grounds stretch out behind the mansion up to the Canal du Midi and can be reached through a wicket gate. There are gravelled patios on either side of the buildings and there is also a swimming pool in front and slightly to the side of the mansion.

An elegant 19th century chateau, its orangery, guest houses, water feature and 8.5 hectares of grounds, just 40 minutes from Toulouse city centre . The main entrance to the estate is situated away from the main thoroughfares, and leads to an earthen esplanade bordered by a low wall protecting a cypress hedge. Braced by two fluted, rusticated columns with floral motifs, the wrought iron gate with its fine scrolls opens onto a driveway that winds through the parkland featuring centuries-old trees. 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 and its lawn, which gently slopes towards the main entrance. 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, in the eastern part of the grounds: they comprise villas that have been turned into gîtes (guest lodgings), as well as another annexe awaiting restoration. Opposite the chateau, a water feature takes pride of place in the centre of the lawn, bordered by centuries-old trees. To the right, there is a swimming pool with pool house, followed by an orangery. The orangery is bordered by a terrace that runs along one side of the pond and preceded by a parking area. Finally, a track at the back leads to one of the estate's secondary entrances. It should be noted that the estate, which is still in activity, could be sold in the form of two companies: a SCI (non-trading property company) owning the land and a SARL (limited liability company) operating the estate, which will manage events and hospitality rentals. As a result, the property benefits from attractive tax incentives.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.

A 13th-century chateau, its outbuildings and feudal vestiges between Brive-la-Gaillarde and the foothills of the White Périgord region. From the hamlet’s small square, a 150-metre no-through road, framed on either side by large outbuildings that partially mask the property, provides access to the chateau’s court of honour via a wrought-iron gate flanked by stone pillars. The property’s enclosure walls, the round tower with its Renaissance dormer window and the crystallised ruins of an ancient lookout tower, are the remaining vestiges of the early chateau dating from 1226, which was expanded in the 15th century with the construction of the three-storey main building and its square tower, and then restored in 1650, this last phase being accompanied by the construction of the mansard roof outbuildings as well. Facing east to west, the barlong-shaped main building has a hipped roof flanked on opposite corners by two towers, one round and topped with a pepperpot roof and the other square with a pavilion roof. The three-storey façades of this classical-style dwelling, in lime-pointed rubble stone, are cadenced by many tall casement cross-windows with ashlar stone surrounds. The façade also has two sets of double glass doors with semi-circular spoked fanlights as well as two bull’s-eye windows, and is topped with a rounded dormer window on one side, which dynamically highlights a central row of windows. Two monumental chimneys rise up from this side of the roof as well, while the towers’ façades are punctuated by small windows, oculi and glass doors. All the windows and doors are safeguarded by single or double-leaf wooden shutters, with the exception of the mullion dormer window topped with a triangular pediment and a pinnacle that crowns the vertical row of windows on the chateau’s northern gable end. With two hectares of land, the property’s buildings were all constructed out of blond limestone and topped with Allassac slate roofs. Adjacent to the round tower and extending on from the main dwelling, a two-storey outbuilding, used mainly as housing, faces a triangular domestic outbuilding, which encloses the grand courtyard on one side. The latter is extended to the south by a large rectangular, landscaped patio, which provides the chateau’s western façade with a panoramic view, while from the chateau’s eastern façade, the grounds bordered by a gravel area reveal swathes of woodlands that extend towards the south. Lastly, an immense right-angle outbuilding used for agricultural purposes is located on the other side of the drive.

A chateau, renovated in 1960, in the heart of 28 hectares of bucolic grounds where a river flows and large outhouses stand, nestled between the cities of Périgueux and Limoges. The 28-hectare property stretches lengthways in the hollow of a narrow, isolated valley. Two riverbanks extend across several hundred metres beside a river flanked with meadows and forests. To reach the riverside woods, you can cross a wooden bridge that the current owners built. The property’s four buildings stand in a walled garden. These enclosing walls run alongside a calm road and mark a boundary with the meadow beyond. Stone pillars frame a large gate that leads into a vast drive paved in an opus incertum pattern. The chateau towers straight ahead. Four corner bartizans give the edifice a slender, graceful style. The imposing edifice made of local stone is a harmonious structure made up of several sections, each with their own steep hipped roof of flat tiles. These sections form a U shape and are linked together with a central covered gallery. The elevations are dotted with different windows set in ashlar surrounds, revealing the building's different phases of construction. All the windows are fitted with indoor wooden shutters. The corner bartizans, which are either round with a cone roof or square with a pyramidal roof, are crowned with finials. Wall dormers with a hipped roof or large gable end punctuate the top of the elevations. Following a fire, the chateau was entirely restored in 1960. This work restored the roofs, the window surrounds, the pointing, the terrace paving, and the windows with their small panes, single glazing and wooden frames. The paved space extends up to three garages, a barn, a caretaker’s house, a secondary gate and a huge cowshed that was built in the 1960s. The garden is made up of lawns with flowering plants, centred upon an ornamental pond. This space also includes a small shelter with a roof of flat tiles. On either side of the wall that separates the garden from the meadow, a few stone steps take you across this walled boundary.

A chateau made of tuffeau stone, with outhouses, a swimming pool, a tennis court and almost 4.5 hectares of grounds, just a few minutes from the city of Tours. From a narrow one-way road, an iron gate between two tuffeau stone pillars leads onto a driveway. This drive runs through a wood to a parking area beside a vast lawn. On one side stands the south-facing chateau. The first references to the edifice date back to the 15th century, but the chateau in its current form dates back to 1720. The chateau was severely damaged in the Second World War, but was later rebuilt. It is made of tuffeau stone. The edifice has a central main section with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. This main section has a huge triangular pediment with a bull’s-eye window in the middle. It is crowned with a hipped slate roof. On the garden side, the roof has four arched dormers with volute ailerons. And on the other side, there are three gabled dormers facing the inner courtyard. On the south side, a flight of steps leads up to a broad terrace edged with finely crafted stone balusters. The east wing is made of rubble stone coated with rendering.

On its garden side, this roof is punctuated with dormers that are identical in style to those on the main section’s roof. On its courtyard side, it has two dormers with triangular pediments between two arched dormers. The other windows of the east wing are of different shapes and sizes and are fitted in tuffeau stone surrounds. A large covered entrance area with a paved floor leads to the inner courtyard.

At the back, the inner courtyard is framed between two wings. This outdoor space extends, over different levels, across a terraced garden up to two small towers: a chapel and a former dovecote. The grounds cover almost 4.5 hectares. They are dotted with trees of different varieties. Paths lead to the swimming pool and outhouses on one side and to a tennis court and a small log cabin on the other side. There are several bubble-like treehouses in the trees.

In the south of Quercy blanc, in a dominant position, a castle with medieval origins to be rehabilitated, featuring a terrace, gardens, outbuildings, and land. Framed by two square columns made of white stones, a wide entrance gate with slender bars marks the entrance to the estate. On one side bordered by cedars, a carriageway leads up through the lands of the castle. It winds between the first outbuildings: to the left, a barn, and to the right, a building that housed several functions related to farming. The old fortress appears, built on the rock at the top of the hill, elevated over three levels and oriented from north to south. It is enhanced by a spiral staircase tower and a dovecote. Mainly made of stone and occasionally brick, its facades, regularly pierced with mainly straight openings and topped with a four-pitched tile roof, reveal its history, documented from the 11th century. It is surrounded by partially enclosed gardens and, to the south, a grassy and tree-lined terrace. Finally, behind the second outbuilding, an agricultural shed completes the built ensemble.This description has been automatically translated from French.
