Castle Angers (49)

Ref.4068 : Elegant 19th C. chateau in the Layon region, near Angers. This beautiful chateau, solidly built on the slopes of the Layon, is situated on a hill overlooking the surrounding vineyards and villages, giving it a breathtaking 360° view. The Layon Valley is characterised by landscapes of rolling green hills and narrow valleys, with terraced vineyards running down to the banks of the Layon River. Renowned for its production of sweet white wines, such as Coteaux du Layon, Bonnezeaux, Quarts de Chaume and Chaume, it is considered to be the home of one of France's flagship wines. People come from far and wide to taste its wines, explore its villages and also to enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, horse riding and water sports. Situated in the heart of the Angevin heritage and not far from the dynamic city of Angers, whose historical richness is no longer in question, this castle benefits from an ideal position both in terms of its proximity to essential shops and its easy access to the motorway axes leading to the metropolises and professional areas of Paris, Le Mans and Nantes. This majestic residence, with its rendered facades and carefully staggered tufa stone corner chains, displays a varied architectural style to great effect. Topped by high slate roofs that seem to touch the sky, and topped by a 'belvedere' with a beautifully worked zinc railing, it is built on four levels. On its north façade, the central bay is adorned with decorated pilasters that surround remarkable windows with tufa ornaments and mullions borrowed from Renaissance architecture. Flanked by a recessed wing, the castle is extended by a typically Angevin longère that surrounds the main courtyard, thus enriching the architectural variety of this complex. It is accessed from this side by a singular staircase with a double revolution staircase in front of the courtyard dwelling. On the south facade, the main building is enhanced on the left by a wing with a pretty corbelled turret on its side. The view over the surrounding countryside from this point is splendid. The castle has a living area of approx. 700sqm, arranged as follows: On the ground floor: a splendid entrance hall which gives access to the living rooms, VIP lounge, lounge, dining room, service entrance, laundry room and spacious kitchen, and to the exceptional spiral stairway topped by a ribbed ribbed dome, leading to the floors from the cellars to the attics. There are oak parquet floors with herringbone and cabochon paving, a marble fireplace and monumental granite fireplaces, picture rails and panelling of finely worked wood, ornate ceilings, some of which are splendid, such as the arched vaults on ribbed crossings with tiercerons and offset liernes. This architectural feature, very rarely seen in castles of this period, is characterised by the broken aspect of the vault line obtained by a successive shift in the keystones. On the first floor: a gallery giving access on either side to three bedrooms, one of which has an imposing wooden coffered ceiling and an adjoining balconette, a magnificently decorated chapel, a library, two rooms that could be used as offices or spare bedrooms and a bathroom. There are herringbone oak floors, marble fireplaces and wooden picture rails. Second floor: gallery with four bedrooms and a large bathroom. On the third floor: the service floor comprises former bedrooms and service rooms as well as an attic to be converted. Fourth floor: access to the viewpoint from the belvedere from the service floor. Basement: Two pleasure cellars and a magnificent brick vaulted cellar. The property has several outbuildings in good condition and close to the castle, as follows The longère (farmhouse) in a square return comprising : two garages, one of which is a large workshop/garage equipped with an automated and secure locking system; A shed/wood store; A large and pleasant attic club house; A winter garden which can be used as a reception room. The independent house of 150m² entirely restored which can be used as a gîte or guest house comprising: on the ground floor, a living room, a kitchen and back kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet and on the second floor, two bedrooms. A shed. An orangery adjoining a charming walled vegetable garden and its pond. An additional garage (possibly for 2 cars). A tennis court. A monumental heated swimming pool (6m x 25m), tiled and closed by a pretty wrought iron handrail, and its pool house chalet with shower and sauna. Beautiful romantic English-style park of 12.97 acres ( 5 ha 25a 88ca) entirely enclosed, decorated with majestic trees (oaks, plane trees, chestnut trees, cedars, redwoods, pines, ...), crossed by a moat and punctuated by a piece of water on which many species of birds like to take refuge. There are lovely features such as the bridge over the moat and the circular stabilised paths leading easily to any part of the park. Walking through this natural setting really does give you a sense of perpetual discovery, with each vantage point offering new perspectives that ostensibly invite contemplation. The journey continues from the park to the footpaths that stretch around the property, through hillsides and vineyards.

Castle Agen (47)

A partly restored 18th-century dwelling and 16th-century lodge surrounding their courtyard, set in grounds of around 4 ha with swimming pool, spring and stream in Lot-et-Garonne. The property forms a group of buildings including a rectangular manor house centred on its inner courtyard, surrounded by grounds of approx. 4 ha comprising mixed woodland, meadows and a small valley, and featuring a renowned spring. Beyond the boundaries of the estate, the surroundings might seem rather unattractive to some - given the presence of greenhouses and farm buildings. However, these structures are forgotten as soon as you follow a long driveway lined with majestic umbrella pines and enter the heart of the property. Built over the course of several centuries, the dwelling is made up of a number of different sections and interconnected inside and out. The dressed stone building is predominantly one storey high, with one section comprising two upper floors above a garden level. It includes an 18th century main building, a 16th century lodge and a former winery, following on from one another harmoniously. They are arranged around an enclosed courtyard with a central well, which is accessed from the outside via a porch. While the residence has undergone many alterations since at least the 16th century, it has recently been partially restored to continue its long history. All the buildings have been re-roofed: the 18th-century dwelling with slate and monk-and-nun tiles, the 16th-century pavilion with flat tiles and the winery with monk-and-nun tiles. In addition, a new micro wastewater treatment plant, a drainage system around the buildings, a new mains drinking water supply and electrical wiring up to the entrance to the property have been installed. Finally, the surrounding area has also been cleaned up.

Castle Aubenas (07)

Located in southern Ardèche, overlooking the French Tuscany, this splendid castle, listed as a Historical Monument, traces its origins back to the 14th century. From its medieval era, it has preserved numerous architectural details such as watchtowers, machicolations, and battlements. Welcome to a place steeped in history, a stronghold nestled in the heart of a beautiful village, just an hour from Montélimar. Dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, this majestic residence proudly stands, flanked by two towers that bear the imprint of the medieval era, retaining elements like watchtowers, machicolations, and battlements. The soul of this residence is expressed through a splendid central spiral stone staircase, elegantly connecting three levels and an attic. In 1567, the central part was erected, enriched with watchtowers, arrow slits, and machicolations, added by the Lord of La Motte de Chalendar to protect his family from raiders. In the 18th century, a Tuscan touch was infused into the salon and the Florentine suite, featuring an Italian terrace and French ceilings. This residence spans approximately 600 m2, offering spaces such as cellars, attics, an independent tower, a garage, dependencies under the moat, and even a well supplied by a spring. Outside, an estate of about one hectare unfolds with five diverse gardens, vineyards, and a pool. Impressive with its austere north façade, this defensive castle transforms to the east with terraces and large openings overlooking the Florentine garden. The ensemble evokes Mediterranean elegance, reminiscent of a Tuscan villa, captivating the imagination of those who contemplate it. A proud witness to family history, the castle has remained in the same lineage, passed on to the current owners in 2004. They embarked on a complete restoration, meticulously preserving every architectural detail. The interior reveals a harmonious blend of vaulted rooms, lounges with fireplaces, dining rooms, libraries, and luxurious bedrooms. The garden level houses functional spaces, while the first floor unveils elegant suites and spacious bedrooms. The independent tower offers a private space with a lounge, kitchen, and bedrooms. The exteriors beckon relaxation with spacious terraces, a sparkling pool, diverse gardens, a wooded park, and vineyards. This unique family residence charms with its timeless charm and exceptional character. Though private, it remains connected to the village, offering breathtaking views and easy access from the southern highway.

Castle Narbonne (11)

A 19th-17th century chateau and country house measuring 1 950 m², a Romanesque chapel, gites and outbuildings and a lake set in 350 hectares of land. Between 800 and 1820, three castles were built on the site, one of which, a feudal castle on a rocky spur, had two fortified walls. Its ruins give an idea of the strategic importance of the site. The second was built between the 15th and 17th centuries and the third during the Restoration. Over more than 1000 years, the estate has gone through three stages: from aprision, it became a secular seigneury from 795 to 1802, until the fiefdom was broken up during the French Revolution, when the turbulence of the period, during which land was drawn up and redistributed, turned it into the private estate it is today. Nowadays it covers more than 350 hectares: 40 hectares of crops, 3.4 hectares of vines and 3 hectares of olive trees, 60 hectares of woods and moorlands surrounding a 1.7 hectare lake on the other side of the main road, and 250 hectares of scrubland behind the 19th century building. The buildings - the country house, the Romanesque church with its square apse, set against the 19th-century chateau, and several outbuildings - all topped with terracotta tiles, are vestiges of the estate’s rich past. Shortly after leaving the village on the road that goes through typically hilly wine-growing countryside, a gate and a long driveway lined with Mediterranean plants leads up to the chateau, which overlooks the scrublands and vines as far as the eye can see. Sheltered by the rocky buttresses where the ruins of the original fortress still remain, it is flanked by the church and, to the rear, two sheepfolds converted into gites with a swimming pool. The building's north-east-facing facade is flanked by a vast gravelled forecourt, planted with flowers in the shade of ancient lime trees. At its foot, three lawned terraces slope gently downwards, broken up by a cypress avenue leading to the country house via a stone gateway topped with Medici vases. The walled grounds feature a large swimming pool that overlooks the terraces. Finally, the country house, in a U-shape on the edge of the estate and surrounded by various outbuildings - a former wine storehouses, forge, stables and other buildings - has its own private swimming pool.

A fortune ! In 1642, Cardinal Richelieu, to counter a local rebellion, went so far as to purchase the fortress for 200,000 pounds and sold it to the daughter of the Marshal of France Claire-Clémence de Maillé-Brézé who had just married the Great Condé, cousin of Louis XIV. The fortress deteriorated, it was abandoned, and in 1750 John de Stapleton, a rich Irish merchant close to his king, bought it for 510,000 pounds and had the rest of the fortress buildings demolished, with the exception of the Keep Tower. , which belongs to the family of tower-residences from the end of the Middle Ages, such as the Tour de Vincennes near Paris.
