What appealed to me about Château de Montanges as a hospitality project was the combination of a place that leaves a lasting impression on visitors and an established business already in operation. Its setting, architecture and period features give it a distinctive character that guests can appreciate from the moment they arrive. The estate currently provides tourist accommodation and lends itself to exclusive hire, particularly for weddings and family gatherings. The bedrooms, reception rooms, parkland and swimming pool provide a solid foundation for continuing the business and developing your own offering. I particularly liked the way the spaces complement one another: welcoming interiors where guests can gather, and outdoor areas suited to a ceremony, a cocktail reception or time spent by the pool. Stone staircases, vaulted ceilings and traditional French beamed ceilings all contribute to the experience of staying here. Set in approximately 3.6 hectares of grounds, the château also includes separate accommodation, offering the possibility of living on site while running the estate. Access from Valserhône and Geneva allows the property to appeal both to local guests and to visitors travelling from further afield. The established business provides a starting point for continuing the current activity. The hospitality business is available to purchase for €40,000, with the furniture available for €60,000. The outbuildings and attic spaces offer potential for additional accommodation or services. Further projects have also been explored within the grounds, with initial steps taken to support their development. Whether you are considering a bed and breakfast, exclusive stays, weddings or corporate gatherings, I would be pleased to discuss your project and introduce you to the estate’s current facilities, its operations and its potential.

A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS

Nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Coudrée, where the waters of Lake Geneva kiss the French shore, stands Château de Coudrée, a XIIth century heir and discreet witness to centuries gone by. Between Yvoire and Thonon-les-Bains, facing the lake, its weathered walls shelter the rare elegance of a residence that has preserved its soul. Inside, five light-filled reception rooms, two salons with carved woodwork, parquet marquetry floors, and French-style ceilings evoke the art of living of a bygone era. Seventeen bedrooms and an intimate apartment offer serene retreats. The 12500 m2 estate unfolds into a landscaped park leading to a private lake pier, complemented by a swimming pool and jacuzzi, creating an exceptional setting that blends prestige and privacy. More than a property, this château is a place where history breathes, suspended between water and mountains, inviting the creation of a new chapter, whether as a luxury hotel project or an extraordinary family residence.

What immediately appealed to me about this property is the way it challenges many of the preconceptions often associated with historic homes. Behind its centuries-old walls, mullioned windows, stone staircase and remarkable traditional French beamed ceilings lies a bright, comfortable home that feels thoroughly contemporary in the way it can be lived in. The restoration has preserved the strength and character of the property without turning it into a frozen period setting. The rooms are generous, the layout flows naturally, and the amenities are perfectly suited to modern living: spacious reception rooms, numerous bedrooms, renovated bathrooms, open spaces and abundant natural light. The paved courtyard provides an immediate sense of privacy. Beyond it, the mature grounds, pond and swimming pool extend the living environment into peaceful, unspoilt surroundings. A property for those seeking space, character and genuine individuality, without having to compromise on comfort or embark on an endless restoration project.

Located 1.5 hours from Lyon, in a mountain resort, atop a promontory, stands a medieval fortified castle, classified as a historical monument. The property presents itself as a preserved architectural ensemble, whose silhouette imposes itself in the Forez landscape. The fortress rises to four levels, following a pentagonal plan with irregular sides. Each corner is flanked by cylindrical towers, except for the southeast corner which connects with the quadrangular keep. The five wings form an inner courtyard. Under the two-pitched roofs covered with canal tiles for the main residence, and the conical roofs of the round towers, the facades, made of granite rubble and light plaster, reveal a composition where mullioned windows, more recent openings, and fortification elements coexist. A walkway, supported by machicolations on consoles, runs along the top of part of the walls, while a Renaissance door testifies to the transformations made when the stronghold was converted into a lordly residence. Thus, the whole tells, in stone, several centuries of history and successive adaptations, without losing the nobility of its original character.This description has been automatically translated from French.
