Castle Plaigne (11)

Beautifully restored medieval château, dating from the 13th century, set in the heart of the beautiful green French countryside, in the south of France, within the unspoiled Aude region. The property is located just 15 minutes from the renowned medieval town of Mirepoix, well known for its remarkable cathedral, considered unique in France, and for its vibrant and lively market. Often referred to as “the Uzès of the Aude” or “Little Uzès”, Mirepoix is appreciated for its iconic arcaded main square and its animated markets, reflecting the authentic spirit of southern France. Ideally positioned between Toulouse and the historic city of Carcassonne, both reachable in approximately 45 minutes, the château combines tranquillity with excellent accessibility. Motorway access is 15 minutes away, while TGV train stations and international airports are within easy reach. Originally built in the 13th century by Guillaume de Plaigne, a Cathar lord, the château remained in the same family until 1688. It was then acquired by François-Paul de Béon-Masse-Cazeaux, Grand Prior of the Order of Malta in Toulouse, who transformed it into a Commandery of the Order of Saint John. It became the largest and most recent commandery in the Languedoc region and remained under the ownership of the Order of Malta until the French Revolution. The château has retained the spirit of its medieval origins while benefiting from a careful restoration, carried out over two generations. Surrounded by a park with mature trees, it offers a calm and refreshing atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of the Great Hall of the Knights, a key feature of the property’s historic character. The property offers 16 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, including 12 bedrooms within the château and 4 bedrooms in an independent cottage, allowing accommodation for up to 32 guests. Additional features include a small chapel set within a tower, a refined swimming pool designed as a natural basin, and facilities suitable for private gatherings and discreet events. The estate extends over 14 hectares of organically farmed land, located in a protected natural and touristic area, within a Natura 2000 valley. A range of outbuildings and service areas complete the property, including catering spaces, storage rooms, garages, cellars and attics. This château offers a rare balance between history, serenity and accessibility. It will appeal both to those wishing to continue a discreet hospitality or event activity, and to a family seeking an elegant country residence, combining timeless character with modern comfort.

Castle Toulouse (31)

Château de Roquefoulet — A Palladian Residence near Toulouse History: Built in 1818 for Jean-Claude de Champreux, Marquis d’Altenbourg, Château de Roquefoulet is a Palladian residence inspired by the great Italian villas. Its architecture, defined by harmonious proportions, symmetrical façades and an abundance of natural light, represents a distinctive example of the architectural heritage of the Lauragais. Partially listed as a Historic Monument, the château retains many of its original architectural features and decorative elements. Between 2015 and 2020, Roquefoulet underwent a complete restoration, carried out with the involvement of heritage architects, master craftsmen and specialist companies. The guiding principle was to preserve the character and elegance of the residence while introducing the standards of comfort expected today. Location: Set in the heart of the Lauragais, the property is located less than 30 minutes from the historic centre of Toulouse, with shops and everyday amenities just a few minutes away. Nearby, Lake Thésauque and its leisure facilities also provide access to a range of outdoor and water-based activities. Setting: The estate extends over approximately 11 hectares, offering a private and preserved environment. Surrounding the château is a landscaped park designed in the 19th century in the tradition of English landscape gardens, with sweeping lawns, long perspectives, wooded areas and centuries-old trees. Atlas cedars, a century-old linden tree and a collection of rare species form a genuine botanical heritage. In recognition of the quality of this ensemble, the estate was awarded the “Ensemble Arbre Remarquable” distinction in 2019. The Property: The château offers more than 1,500 sq m of living space, with generous proportions while retaining the warmth and intimacy of a private residence. Upon entering, the grand hall and its monumental double staircase immediately establish the character of the house. Several reception rooms, a dining room, library, study and semi-professional kitchen form the principal living spaces. The upper floors accommodate nine air-conditioned bedrooms and suites, overlooking the park and combining historic features with contemporary comfort. A wellness area with hammam and massage room, together with a wine cellar, completes the main residence. At the entrance to the estate, an elegant independent caretaker’s house overlooks the gates and provides separate accommodation for staff or guests. Set apart from the main residence, a fully glazed, air-conditioned reception pavilion of more than 500 sq m provides an elegant setting for weddings, private receptions, seminars or retreats, while preserving the privacy of the château itself. Less than thirty minutes from Toulouse, Roquefoulet brings together the architecture of a grand Palladian residence, a preserved landscaped heritage and the comfort of a contemporary restoration, set within eleven hectares of parkland and grounds.

Castle Saint-Pierre-de-Trivisy (81)

Château du Bousquet Set in the heart of the Tarn countryside, Château du Busquet enjoys a remarkably preserved setting, surrounded by rolling green hills, valleys and far-reaching views. The approach to the estate is part of its charm. Small country roads wind through the beautiful Tarn landscape, revealing, on clear days, magnificent views towards the Pyrenees. The château stands within approximately three hectares of private parkland, opening naturally onto the surrounding countryside. The atmosphere is peaceful and timeless — an ideal place to disconnect and enjoy rural life, while remaining within easy reach of towns and amenities. Albi is approximately 40 minutes away, offering shops, restaurants and traditional markets, as well as its remarkable Episcopal City, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The property is also within reach of several airports, including Castres-Mazamet Airport and Toulouse-Blagnac International Airport, while Albi-Le Séquestre airfield provides facilities for private and light aviation. A residence steeped in history Closely connected with the history of the Bru family, Château du Busquet has retained its distinctive character and identity over the years. The current owners have undertaken an extensive and particularly careful restoration, respecting the original architecture while introducing the comfort expected of a modern residence. The technical installations, including the electrical system, have been comprehensively upgraded to a high standard. Today, the château is in very good overall condition and requires no structural restoration. Any remaining work is essentially limited to interior improvements, decoration and the personalisation of certain spaces. A particularly versatile layout The central part of the château is arranged around the main entrance and its staircase, leading to several reception rooms and drawing rooms. On either side, two wings can operate entirely independently, providing considerable flexibility for accommodating family and guests, creating private living quarters or dedicating separate areas to visitors. Immediately nearby is also a small working farm occupied by a local farmer. His discreet presence provides additional peace of mind, particularly when the owners are away, as someone remains close at hand and can keep an eye on the château and estate. Château du Busquet brings together character, comfort and tranquillity. A beautifully restored property on a human scale, surrounded by nature yet sufficiently connected to the region’s main towns and transport links for everyday life to remain simple and convenient. Above all, it offers something increasingly rare: the opportunity to truly retreat from the world without ever feeling too far removed from it.

Castle Blangy-sur-Bresle (76)

Secluded and encircled by two branches of the Bresle River, the Penthièvre Estate spans a private island of nearly 8 hectares, situated where Normandy meets the Bay of Somme. The property comprises a 17th-century residence, a thousand-year-old mill, renovated outbuildings, and a park bordered by the river’s lively, fish-rich waters. Hidden from the road, the estate is accessed via a bridge crossing the Bresle. Built in 1636 during the reign of Louis XIII, the main residence is associated with Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orléans—known as "La Grande Mademoiselle"—granddaughter of Henry IV and cousin of Louis XIV. With its brick-and-stone facades, twin turrets and watchtowers, tall mullioned windows, and steeply pitched slate roof, the residence has retained all the charm of its 17th-century architecture. On the ground floor, a central hall leads to a dining room, a living room, a study located in the square tower, and a summer kitchen. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which features two large bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, plus a tower room that could serve as an additional bedroom, boudoir, or dressing room. The second floor offers approximately 100 m² of convertible space, suitable for creating three or four additional bedrooms. The residence has undergone significant recent renovations. The roof was completely replaced in 2023, while the double-glazed wooden windows date from 2018. Heating is provided by a mains-gas condensing boiler, and the estate is connected to the municipal mains drainage system. A network rack and home automation equipment complete the technical installations. The former outbuildings, renovated between 2018 and 2020 using eco-friendly materials, serve as a second residence. The ground floor features a dining room, a living room with a wood-burning stove, a spacious kitchen, and a bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each with its own shower room. The mill, with origins dating back to the 12th century, is situated on the Bresle River. Featuring corner turrets that echo the style of the main house, it retains its original waterwheel and historic machinery. The ground floor houses a large reception area, while the upper level and an adjoining extension offer space for further development. Subject to feasibility studies and permits, the waterwheel and water rights offer the potential for hydroelectric power generation. Spanning nearly 8 hectares, the estate features centuries-old trees, meadows, an orchard, and riverbanks, creating a pristine landscape shaped by the flow of the Bresle. The river is directly accessible from the property, which also includes a designated swimming area. The omnipresence of water, the absence of overlooking neighbors, and the island-like setting lend the estate a rare atmosphere defined by nature, privacy, and serenity. Listed as a Historic Monument, the Domaine de Penthièvre brings together heritage, nature, and development potential within a single property. Whether as a large family home, a venue for events, a boutique hospitality business, or a cultural or artistic project, the site’s layout allows for a wide range of uses while maintaining the independence of the various buildings. Located near the Bay of Somme and the beaches of the Alabaster and Picardy coasts, the estate also enjoys a location that allows for easy access to Paris and the major hubs of Normandy and the Hauts-de-France region.

Castle Bourges (18)

Ref.4934 : Beautiful neoclassical château overlooking exceptional English-style parkland, with a pond, gîte and equestrian outbuildings near Bourges In the heart of France, the property is ideally located three and a half hours from Paris and forty-five minutes from Bourges, sometimes referred to as the "capital of the Berry." The main reference town for the property, Bourges is a major city of art and history at the centre of a vibrant economic area where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. Named European Capital of Culture for 2028, its historic centre and shopping district boast outstanding landmarks such as the Palais Jacques-Cœur, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Étienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located a little further south, the château is well connected to the transport network by a major motorway. The A71, known as "L'Arverne," is close by, offering easy access to Paris to the north via Orléans, and to Clermont-Ferrand to the south, and beyond to Montpellier. The area surrounding the estate is known as the Boischaut Sud, a natural region covering the southern parts of the Indre and Cher departments. Here, the gently rolling plains of the Paris Basin meet the more pronounced foothills of the Massif Central. The landscapes are green, wooded or criss-crossed with hedgerows, with a discreet yet enduring charm. This is "the Berry that takes hold of you and never lets go," as described by George Sand, a native of the region. Fifteen minutes from the property, Saint-Amand-Montrond offers all the necessary amenities (shops, doctors, schools and a hospital). The town is known as France's third-largest centre for gold jewellery manufacturing, after Paris and Lyon. An exhibition venue, the Cité de l'Or, showcases this tradition, established in the late 19th century to serve the great names of the Place Vendôme. Near Saint-Amand, Noirlac Abbey, a jewel of Cistercian architecture, is another major cultural landmark in the region. And for younger visitors, Sam Parc is one of the best amusement parks in the Centre-Val de Loire region. A little further on lies Lignières, a small town well known to horse and donkey lovers. Visitors come to explore the Pôle du Cheval et de l'Âne (Horse and Donkey Centre) or to enjoy the thrill of the fine Lignières-en-Berry racecourse, which offers enthusiasts a long season of equestrian events each year (trotting, flat racing and steeplechase) from March to November. The château is approached along a long, straight drive that runs through the wooded part of the estate. Rising over two storeys plus an attic floor beneath a slate-covered hipped roof, the house is distinguished by its many windows, no fewer than seven per floor, all perfectly aligned. Light floods into this "glass house," a strikingly avant-garde design for its time. A glass canopy over the entrance further enhances this sense of lightness. On the other side, the east façade, also pierced by seven windows per floor, features a projecting three-bay central section crowned by a classical triangular pediment with an oculus. On the ground floor of this projection, three arched openings are separated by engaged Doric columns supporting a plain entablature bearing a coat of arms. Above, the three first-floor windows are topped by carved window heads that echo and embellish the motif of the Doric capital. At the foot of the façade, a balustraded terrace flanked by right-angled staircases offers an exceptional view over the English-style park and its lake below. Returning to the west façade, the house is entered through a hall with a reception area framed by paired columns, leading to the grand turning staircase that serves the upper floors; WC. On the ground floor, all the rooms interconnect in a circular sequence: a large study, a very bright drawing room with a painted ceiling and fireplace, a dining room with a Louis XIV fireplace opening onto the terrace and garden, a kitchen, a butler's pantry and a private sitting room. On the first floor, a fine landing with paired columns and light wood flooring, serving three bedrooms, each with its own shower room or bathroom, and a two-bedroom suite, one with a bathroom and the other with a shower room. On the second floor, beneath the eaves: a landing leading to a large media room, two bedrooms with shower rooms, and a large gym with its own separate shower room. On the lower ground floor, set in the raised basement: a beautiful vaulted kitchen, laundry room, boiler room, wine cellar, larder and cellars. Outbuildings : The property includes a large number of outbuildings, the main ones being: A very attractive gîte with swimming pool, set apart but enjoying lovely views over the park, comprising a living room with kitchenette and wood-burning stove, three bedrooms, a laundry room, a wheelchair-accessible shower room, and a heated outdoor swimming pool measuring 10 by 5 metres with safety fencing.

Castle Lectoure (32)

An elegant 19th-century house with a pool, outbuildings and 7.5 hectares of grounds, five minutes from a vibrant, picturesque town in the Lomagne area of south-west France. A track leading to the property leaves a small country road on the hillside. A discreet spring covered with stones marks the entrance to the grounds. The chateau’s facade appears at the end of a drive shaded by tall, old trees. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy and calm. It looks out over a valley, in isolation from the rest of the world. You can admire several stunning vistas from the property. These views stretch to the town of Lectoure, perched on its rocky outcrop. The chateau is built on a large gravel terrace with a round ornamental stone pond. The building is rectangular and has an adjoining tower in the middle of its west elevation. It has four flours that can be seen from its east side, lower down. The top floor is a loft space. The edifice offers a liveable floor area of around 800m², spread between the ground floor and the first floor, which can be seen from the south driveway. The chateau was built in 1805. It is made of dressed stone, rendered with a beige lime coating. Its facade reflects the architectural traits of its era: 14 rectangular openings are arranged symmetrically around a central bay that stands out for its dressed stone and its double door that forms the main entrance. The quoins, cornices and door and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed stone. The building is crowned with a zinc and slate mansard roof with hipped ends, punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows on its south side, three on its north side, one on its east side and another one on its west side. The grounds are dotted with age-old trees and vast clearings. This wonderful outdoor space includes an isolated swimming pool, a dovecote, an old washing place and an Italian-style garden. The style of this Italian garden goes well with the chateau’s north elevation and brings out its elegance. At a lower level, there are two large rectangular outbuildings made of rubble stone. They face each other and can be reached via a separate drive on one side.
