Castle Villefranche-sur-saone (69)

SOLE AGENCY Located in the Ain département, just a few kilometres from Villefranche-sur-Saône and 35 minutes from the centre of Lyon, this character property enjoys a privileged position — within easy reach of major transport links and amenities, yet set in a peaceful, timeless setting. The tone is set from the moment of arrival: a majestic 400-metre avenue lined with Lombardy poplars gradually reveals a largely walled park of 6.3 hectares, leading to an imposing manor house built in dressed stone and traditional brick. The property offers 690 sq.m. of living space arranged over two floors, further complemented by a vast attic. The ground floor presents a succession of generous reception rooms — drawing rooms, a library, dining room, kitchen and scullery — anchored by a spectacular entrance hall featuring a carved wooden staircase, period panelling and a stained-glass window. The principal floor comprises seven spacious bedrooms served by four bathrooms and a shower room. The upper level, more intimate in character, retains the spirit of the house with former servants' quarters, an old linen room and generous attic volumes. Throughout, the noble architectural features have been carefully preserved: herringbone and Hungarian-point parquet floors, period fireplaces, boiseries, encaustic cement tiles and stained glass. The outbuildings complete this exceptional ensemble harmoniously: a chapel blessed in 1641 — a precious witness to the property's history — an ancient tower, likely the remains of a former fortification, and a 38 sq.m. garage. Tennis court. A rare find, where history and elegance converge — equally suited as a prestigious primary residence or country retreat, set in unspoilt surroundings on the doorstep of the Lyon metropolitan area. --------------------------------- Asking price: €920,000 Agency fees included, payable by the vendor Property not subject to energy performance assessment (DPE) Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr

Castle Pau (64)

The Age of Enlightenment awaits you: refinement, symmetry, and elegance define this 18th-century château, set on a 1-hectare enclosed plot, featuring a formal French garden, chapel, orangery and outbuildings, and a moat. It will delight history enthusiasts, where intellectual stimulation and a connection to nature take precedence over tradition. Perfectly suited for family life, business, seminars, and more, the solid structure comprises thirty rooms, including five adjoining reception rooms, sitting rooms, a gallery, nine bedrooms (one with an alcove on the ground floor), and a welcoming entrance hall. The guest apartment, an 18th-century innovation, ensures the owners' privacy. The cellars, large kitchen with a vegetable garden, and various service areas recall the 15th-century foundations of the main building, erected on a former castle mound. The pursuit of authenticity does not preclude modern comforts: central heating, recently replaced roofs, and fiber optic internet access. Defense gives way to social life, windows open onto nature and light. The architectural evolution coincides with a new social order. The ornamentation emphasizes refinement with decor inspired by the classical or neoclassical style: Arudy stone frames, 16th-century terracotta tiles, marble fireplaces (all functional), stone or wood fireplaces, overmantel mirrors, wood paneling, Versailles parquet flooring, wide-plank flooring, pediments pierced with an oeil-de-boeuf window, a three-stone sink, staircases with Béarnaise hairpin railings, the reissued Tontisse wallpaper, a fresco, an authentic cherub decoration, and Farrow & Ball paint all contributed to this delicate restoration. The small chapel remains the property's traditional private place of worship with its 17th-century polychrome wooden altarpiece and relics. The orangery, with its three arches, built according to traditional methods and facing south, provides shelter for large trees and regulates temperature thanks to the brickwork and stone. It is currently a beautiful venue for receptions, complete with a kitchen area. The barn, farmyard, stone outbuildings, and pebble-lined walls, along with the medieval garden, evoke the property's rural character. The French-style gardens, meticulously designed, have earned the property a place in the Association for Topiary and Boxwood Art. It's easy to imagine oneself strolling in period costume through the landscaped maze with its mythological scenes, the open-air theater, or relaxing by the two ornamental fountains, testaments to the prestige of the place. These fountains were once used as mirrors, reflecting the image of the château and its owners. They are excellent swimming spots in the 21st century... A sought-after haven of peace, close to amenities, a place where different cultures naturally coexist. The refined furnishings, perfectly suited to the setting, are available for purchase. The former gatehouse at the back of the property may or may not be restored; the castle's listed status as a historical monument would allow for appropriate tax benefits. This former barony of the Lords of Coarraze hosted the King of Spain... begin your history! For information and viewings, please contact Valerie Trinel at Capifrance.

Castle Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans (66)

Built in 1890 and fully renovated in 2025, Château de l’Ille is an exceptional property located in Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans, in the heart of the Vallespir region of the Pyrénées-Orientales. With approximately 1,000 m² of built space, the estate is organized around the main château, two annexes, a caretaker's house, and a vast landscaped park. Together, they form a rare property, simultaneously a heritage residence and a haven for high-end hospitality. The main château forms the elegant heart of the property. On the ground floor, it houses the living and reception rooms, including two lounges, a dining room, and an open-plan kitchen, all designed for entertaining in an elegant and welcoming setting. The first floor is entirely dedicated to workspaces, meeting rooms, and offices, offering an ideal environment for seminars, professional retreats, creative residencies, or coworking sessions. The second floor houses four suites, offering a more intimate and residential atmosphere. In the basement, technical areas, storage spaces, and a wine cellar complete the building's functional spaces. The renovation was extensive: the buildings were completely refurbished, modernized, and adapted for contemporary use, while preserving certain majestic period features that give the place its unique character, including the original floors, some of the woodwork, the ceiling moldings, and the fireplaces in every room of the château. Comfort was also a priority throughout the property, with electric radiators and towel warmers installed in the various spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The right wing extends the spirit of the estate with additional accommodation and a former chapel converted into a wine bar. This unique space, both intimate and spectacular, offers an ideal setting for tastings, social gatherings, private parties, or confidential events. The left wing further expands the estate's accommodation capacity. Together, the two annexes house 12 bedrooms and suites, comfortably accommodating families, guests, management teams, or groups. The annexes have undergone a complete renovation: zinc roofs, double-glazed aluminum windows, new floors laid with antique cement tiles, rock wool insulation in the exterior walls, and plasterboard lining. This renovation combines performance, comfort, and respect for the spirit of the place.

Castle Agen (47)

On the outskirts of Agen, a 19th-century castle and its wooded park of 5 hectares with outbuildings, a swimming pool, pool house, and a troglodyte space. The castle appears at the end of an avenue that crosses a park of nearly 5 hectares. Built in the 19th century, it occupies a central position within the estate. The park, remarkably maintained, combines lawns, tall trees, and southern woods that ensure total privacy, with no vis-à-vis. The slightly elevated situation provides a lovely view of the rooftops of Agen and the surrounding hills. The castle itself, with an area of approximately 500 m², displays a sober architecture characteristic of the Second Empire, with stone facades and two towers, whose roofs have been recently redone. The whole is in very good general condition, thanks to rigorous maintenance. The interior, distributed over four levels, is organized around a classic reception sequence. An entrance hall, dining room, living room, and kitchen follow one another on the ground floor, where a large glass roof spans two levels and harmoniously connects the two wings of the building. Four bedrooms and two shower rooms occupy the upper floors. One bedroom with its bathroom is located on the garden level. They adjoin a suite of relaxation rooms with a spa, billiard room, and winter lounge, alongside the usual outbuildings, boiler room, cellar, and storage spaces. The estate includes three outbuildings. The first, known as the guest or caretaker's house, is being renovated. Some finishing work will be enough to make it a self-contained accommodation. It consists of a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The second outbuilding is a workshop for DIY and garden maintenance. The last one combines a large garage and a spacious gym with a shower, almost finished. A pool house completes the surroundings of a swimming pool. Embedded in the cliff, a troglodyte space adds a unique touch to the whole.

Castle Aurignac (31)

A chateau, registered as a Historical Monument, and its outbuildings over 7 hectares of grounds on a hilltop in the Comminges region. A shady drive leads to the chateau, perched on a hilltop and surrounded by verdant grounds, which has unobstructed views of the neighbouring hillsides and the Noue Valley. Having undergone several transformations over the centuries, the building has witnessed many historical events, housed notable figures and played an important role in local life. Originally a modest fortified manor house located at the top of a hill, the chateau is made up of a medieval core, a tower house from the 14th and 15th centuries, and a two-storey dwelling built in the 17th century. In the 12th and 14th centuries, an initial keep was built with small arrow slit windows similar to the ones that still exist on its southern side. Then, between 1340 and 1390, a square tower, with a circular interior housing the staircase, was constructed in order to access the keep’s third storey, but it was not until 1662 that the chateau would be considerably expanded with the construction of a building abutting the keep. Reflecting several centuries, the chateau, facing southwest and northeast, is understated in appearance with its plaster-coated stone walls devoid of any ornamental decorations, three-sided or hipped barrel tile roofs and rectilinear windows for the most part. The varied formats of the latter enliven the buildings’ different heights, while ashlar stone is used for the chateau’s window and door surrounds as well as its quoins and red-painted wooden shutters safeguard most of its small or large-paned windows. Lastly, a verdant courtyard, bordered by walls and traversed by a pathway that is accessible via wrought-iron gates on either side, connects the dwelling with the first outbuilding, used as a garage, while two others – a barn and stable – with pointed stonework exteriors and hipped or half-hipped tile roofs extend on from the chateau itself.

Castle Mazerolles-du-Razès (11)

A 19th century Mansart style chateau and its outbuildings set in 32 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods 30 km from Carcassonne . A driveway with centuries-old plane trees, bordered on either side by vast pastures, leads to the 1879 Haussmann-style chateau. The L-shaped edifice is bordered by a main courtyard on its east and north sides. The three-storey main building features extensions on either side. The left wing comprises two more modest, two-storey dwellings of similar style. To the right and slightly set back from the main building stands a rectangular three-storey tower topped by a four-pitched, slate roof with a crest, finials and crenellated white stone frieze - the same material used for the surrounds of the three large windows with carved stone mullions. Next to the tower is a chapel dating back to 1890, covered by an abundant Virginia creeper, with two tall stained-glass windows framing a heavy wooden door. At right angles, the right wing of the building houses a reception room and two flats currently rented out as gîtes (holiday accommodation). The main building and tower have slate roofs, while the gîtes and chapel are monk-and-nun tiled. There are also several outbuildings to the immediate right of the chateau, including a barn, a winery and a stable. Set in 32 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods in a dominant position, the chateau is protected from all forms of disturbance.
