Castle Agen (47)

At the gateway to Agen, a 19th-century chateau in tree-filled 5-hectare grounds, with outbuildings, a swimming pool, pool-house and troglodyte dwelling. The chateau looms into view at the end of a drive crossing through the almost 5-hectare grounds. It was built in the 19th century and stands in the middle of the estate. The remarkably well-kept parkland combines lawns, tall trees and southern French undergrowth, providing it with total privacy, completely sheltered from view. Thanks to its location in the upper part of Agen, it enjoys views of the city’s roofs and the surrounding slopes. The chateau itself has around 500 m² of living space and is architecturally sober, which is typical of the Second Empire period during which it was built, with ashlar facades and two towers, whose roofs have been recently renovated. As a whole it is in a very good general condition thanks to meticulous upkeep. The interior of this four-storey building is set around a classic sequence of reception rooms, with an entrance hall, dining room, lounge and kitchen one after another on the ground floor, where a large double-level conservatory harmoniously links the two wings of the edifice. Four bedrooms and two shower rooms can be found on the upper floors, while one bedroom and a lavatory are on the garden level floor. They stand next to a suite of relaxation rooms, with a spa, billiards room and conservatory. They are followed by usual utility rooms, such as the boiler room, storerooms and cellar. The estate possesses three outbuildings. The first, which is referred to as the guests’ house or estate manager’s house, is currently being restored and a little finishing work is all that is necessary to make it self-contained accommodation. It includes a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The second outbuilding contains a workshop for DIY and upkeep of the garden. The last outbuilding houses a large garage and a virtually completed, vast fitness room with a shower. A pool-house stands next to the swimming pool.

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 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. A little bit of history: Chateau Saint Joseph, which was formerly known as Chateau de Caulet, in Mazerolles-du-Razès, is the incarnation of Belle Epoque refined elegance in the Razès sector of the Aude area. It was built in 1879 by François de Gentil-Baichis, at the time a recently retired French Navy lieutenant, a talented water-colourist and the loyal captain of the Duke of Orléans’ yacht, the Maroussia. This Haussmann-inspired residence surrounded by a majestic row of hundred-year-old plane trees, either replaced or was built on the site of a former feudal castle whose traces can be found in the 18th century and which belonged to the estates falling within the remit of Mazerolles. François de Gentil-Baichis was an amateur artist and produced many water-colours and body colours of the famous yacht Maroussia. These works are today sought-after and highly valued on the art market. According to local legend, Jean Jaurès himself is said to have often visited the chateau, where bedroom 14 (now known as the Edwige bedroom) was his favourite: this peaceful room on the second floor boasts exceptional views of the grounds, its more than two-hundred-year-old cedar tree and the Pyrenean summits on the horizon. According to another local legend, there was a former farm on the lands of the chateau that was used as a refuge by the Cathars in the Middle Ages, in this region that bears deep traces of their history. 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.
