Castle Lachapelle (82)

A comfortable chateau refurbished in the 18th century and perfectly restored, its enclosed garden, numerous outbuildings and separate grounds with swimming pool, between Toulouse and Agen. Built on a rocky outcrop and enclosed by fortified walls, the commandery overlooks a few neighbouring houses and enjoys a 360° view of the surrounding rolling countryside. Sheltered from view, the property is also particularly quiet since the village is only accessible via a small road. The adjacent buildings that compose the architectural complex are arranged in a coil shape around a grassy courtyard and the former chapel of the “Knights’ Manor”, which became a church in the 15th century. Although it forms a harmonious whole, different buildings stand out due to the masonry of their façades, their roofs and other architectural elements specific to the successive periods in which the property was remodelled, such as the patios or the windows. Once a Knights Templars monastery and then by turns a wine storehouse and a residence, the horseshoe-shaped building presents traces of its functions as a former fortified castle as demonstrated by the arrow slits, loopholes and scars resulting from the multiples modifications to the façades over the centuries. The walls, composed of an amalgam of unpointed massive rubble stone masonry and ashlar stone, are characteristic of medieval constructions. With a surface area of 450 m², it has two storeys, including the attic space, and is topped with a gabled roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel. It was only recently that a tree-filled landscaped piece of land below the village was annexed to the property. Today, sheltered from view, it includes a swimming pool and pool house in need of a bit of refreshing.

Castle Tournan-en-Brie (77)

50 minutes southeast of Paris, an authentic 17th-century chateau surrounded by moats, its two entrance pavilions and 11-hectare grounds. Behind the first entrance gate, the driveway leads to a stone bridge, which spans the moats filled with water. At the end of it, the main gate surmounted with a coat of arms and wrought-iron décor opens onto a cobbled courtyard, which is organised around a central circular lawn. The chateau stands directly ahead along an axis that follows the path of the sun throughout the day. On either side, two pavilions, facing one another, are integrated into the property’s overall symmetry and bordered by flowerbeds, which include an impressive Pierre de Ronsard rosebush. Built at one end of the cobbled courtyard, the chateau is characterised by its symmetry and its brick and stone masonry topped with slate roofs with rounded hayloft dormer windows, which date the chateau’s construction to the beginning of Louis XIII’s reign. All the windows and doors are framed with ashlar stone. Behind the chateau, a garden, enclosed partially by moats, leads to a drawbridge, which provides access to the grounds. These are organised on each side of the central walkway, which is aligned with the chateau and main entrance. The estate was the property of the de Vigny family in the 17th century – of whom the poet Alfred de Vigny was a direct descendant – up until 1791, the date on which it was sold as national property following the emigration of the de Vigny family during the French Revolution. Built in the 1610s, a portion of the chateau was burned down during the Revolution and partially reconstructed in 1844. The chateau, including the courtyard, entrance pavilions, moats and bridges over the moats are today protected as historical monuments.

Castle Vichy (03)

A 16th century listed château surrounded by a moat, set in 5 hectares of grounds, 10 minutes from the centre of Vichy. Standing in a dominant position, the château, which has 20 habitable rooms, dominates the Allier valley, with exceptional views as far as the Dômes and Livradois mountains. The buildings are arranged in a square around an open courtyard on the east side, where they can be accessed via a drawbridge. While its round towers and keep give it a medieval appearance, the large Renaissance and 18th-century windows promise a bright interior. The few houses in the hamlet face the entrance, while the other facades of the château look out over the countryside.
