A splendid 17th-century chateau with a large horse stable and 60 hectares of grounds in France’s Oise department. Two stone pillars crowned with urns flank a wrought-iron entrance gate at the end of a discreet village street. The gate opens into the property’s main driveway. This driveway runs alongside a French formal garden, down the side of the chateau and round to its court of honour. A feudal castle once stood on this site, which was a barony from the 13th century. The first stone of today's edifice was laid in 1636, as a lintel engraving tells us, on this land that once belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy but that became French when absolutism was bolstered under King Henry IV of France. The basement, underground vaults and foundations date back to this era. The chateau is typical of the 17th-century transformation of seigneurial dwellings into leisure chateaux – this chateau underwent changes that were characteristic of this great century in French history. The water-filled moat, made on older foundations, was probably dug out in the 19th century. A few buildings and a large farm complex with an open courtyard were also added to the estate during the Bourbon Restoration. The last major changes were made to the chateau at the end of the 19th century. During the Belle Époque, life in the chateau was vibrant and cheerful. But this gaiety only lasted up to the First World War. The property was a direct victim of the first assaults in this war – the Germans occupied it and in 1917 partially destroyed it. Yet in 1926 the edifice was rebuilt in exactly the same way as it looked before, thanks to the insistence and passion of its owner at the time. So, once again, the building became a grand dwelling of stone and slate. This magnificent chateau surrounded by a water-filled moat stands out for its tall elevations of dressed stone punctuated with six bays arranged symmetrically: three on each side of a curved avant-corps. The building has four floors. A slate roof crowns it. Two pavilions flank its north side. The position of this towering chateau, perched proudly upon a vast terrace, adds to its majestic bearing. From its court, the tall edifice looks out at a rural landscape beyond a splendid foreground: a French formal garden where manicured lawns and neatly trimmed hedges surround the grand building. In the distance, age-old trees dot a lush backdrop punctuated with thick groves and meadows that seems to stretch endlessly away. Lastly, on one side of the grounds, a collection of outbuildings with roofs of flat tiles completes the property. These fine annexes are just as elegant as the chateau itself and are mainly designed for horses.

This is not just a mansion, this is a masterpiece and the countryside in Paris.

Located in Essonne 35 km south of Paris, this castle of 1500m ² built in 1848, of a classic and very balanced architecture, was completely restored in 2012. With a harmonious style on its four facades, the castle is characterized by its Mansart style roof, its balusters on the 3 levels, its facades in stone and stucco, the pilasters on the ground floor and upstairs, its arched doors ... The interior of the castle enjoys by its volumes with rooms both vast and proportionate. The entrance hall with its masterful staircase sets the tone as soon as you enter the door: marble, columns, stone, ironwork and high ceilings. The 4 reception rooms facing the park are the same way: large glass doors guarantee a permanent brightness, parquet floors of Hungary, marble fireplaces, mirrors, moldings, gilding and a set of very nice woodwork in the music room. The contemporary kitchen on the ground floor fits perfectly with the whole. On the first floor, a master suite, including a large room overlooking the park, a bathroom, a dressing room and a gym. Five other rooms with bathroom and marble fireplace offer different themes. On the 2nd floor, 10 studio-rooms with bathrooms. The basement area hosts an extensive spa including swimming pool, sauna, steam room, massage room, gym. A workshop and a wine cellar complete this level. The 10-hectare park starts from a flat area on the upper part where the castle is located, then gradually goes down towards the valley. From the vast terrace of the castle overlooking the park, a large lawn gently sloping to the belvedere provides a nice perspective on the gardens. Below a stretch of meadow and a wood. From the right side of the terrace, you can see a nice pond with a pavilion, a tennis court at the back and then a wooded area. The entire English park is harmonious and leaves unobstructed views of the valley. Several golf courses are located nearby.

A 195 m² flat with its original decor and garden, in an 18th century chateau, 30 minutes south of Paris. Hidden from view, the chateau can be made out through an impressive wrought iron gate, which opens on to the main courtyard. The building features a classical architectural style and is aligned with the path of the sun. Some historical documents mention the 15th-century fiefdom that once extended over these grounds. Rebuilt in the 18th century, the chateau was acquired in the mid-19th century by Auguste Lamy and Cécile Kuhlmann. Auguste Lamy (1820-1878), physicist and chemist, Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, was instrumental in the discovery of thallium. He was also a director of the Kuhlmann industrial group established by his father-in-law Charles Frédéric Kuhlmann, founder of Crédit du Nord. The property was owned by the family until 1946. The chateau reflects the pure classical style typical of the second half of the 18th century. It comprises three storeys over a cellar. On the eastern side, the building consists of a central section flanked by two wings set at right angles. The main door, accessed via a flight of stone steps with two accesses and a wrought-iron banister, completes the overall symmetry. The entrance is surrounded by three windows on either side, two of which stand proud of the wings. The first floor, illuminated by nine openings protected by wrought iron railings, is topped by a second upper level in the roofspace featuring three domed zinc roof dormers with carved wings. The hipped slate roof features ridge finials. The western facade, overlooking the grounds, follows the same layout as the one on the street side, with one exception: the addition of a central semi-circular porch topped with pear-shaped stone balusters, which opens onto a vast lawn bordered by a variety of trees. The flat is located in the southern section of the chateau and extends over the entire ground floor and part of the first floor. It comprises two sitting rooms, three bedrooms and various other rooms awaiting conversion. The parklands at the back stretch out to an oval pool featuring a statue inspired by the sculpture of ancient Greece as the focal point of its verdant plant theatre stage. The commonhold consists of four flats and the only shared areas are the landings on the different levels and the grounds.

A chateau dating back to the 16th and 18th centuries with a swimming pool, nestled in grounds that cover two hectares in France’s Champagne region. The chateau was used as a country house in the 18th century. It was once the centre of the Saron fiefdom – from which the Bochart de Champigny lineage derived its family name from 1630 onwards. From the 17th century, it was a site of astronomical observations by Jean Bochart de Saron and Pierre Gassendi and, in the 18th century, by Jean-Baptiste-Gaspard Bochart de Saron, Roger Joseph Boscovich and Charles Messier. The archives of the French Academy of Sciences mention the chateau as a place used to observe the transit of Venus across the Sun on 3 June 1769, to determine the path of Uranus in 1781, and to observe comets. The chateau is surrounded by walled grounds that cover two hectares. The grounds include a vegetable patch and are dotted with age-old trees, including a 300-year-old plane tree and 200-year-old box and linden trees. A main court extends in front of the chateau, as does the garden, which an imposing wrought-iron gate separates from the village. A towpath along the River Aube demarcates the property’s lower section. Behind the edifice, a slope leads down to a pond. An outdoor swimming pool and a small greenhouse are hidden behind a large neighbouring 16th-century church and cannot be seen from the chateau.

A mid-18th century chateau and its numerous outbuildings near Vaux-le-Vicomte, in one of the first English-style landscaped parks in France. Extending over an area of around 70 hectares, the at first sight unremarkable property conceals a setting where nature, discreetly magnified by human hands, appears to have offered its hospitality in return. As you approach the chateau from the west, the quadruple avenue of centuries-old chestnut trees draws all eyes to the chateau. Past a stone bridge guarded by two terracotta lions, an impressive wrought iron double gate crowned with floral scrolls opens onto the paved main courtyard, embellished with symmetrical flowerbeds “à la française” and rows of lime trees on either side. The initial impression is of a classical building, with its central dressed stone structure flanked by two low wings and topped by a slate Mansard-style gambrel roof. However, the earliest traces of the feudal stronghold date back to the 12th century, around 1180. At that time, there was a medieval castle 'flanked by four towers, surrounded by moats filled with water, protected by a drawbridge, with a chapel, garden, woods and pond'. The estate subsequently passed into the hands of various aristocratic and bourgeois families. In 1750, the buildings were destroyed by a fire. The medieval building was then replaced by a chateau designed for recreation. All that remained of the original castle were the noble features, including the dovecote, which is still standing today. This was the era of classicism: the chateau was erected between courtyard and garden to follow the path of the sun. In fact, it is modelled on the layout of a Parisian townhouse, with a two-storey central building topped by a Mansard roof. With a slightly projecting avant-corps, it is flanked on either side by two low wings with arcades topped by flat roofs and crowned with stone Medici pots. The north wing is extended at right angles by a small gallery that links the chateau to the outbuildings and hereby forms a paved base-court, separated from the main courtyard by a symmetrical wall. The former stables and flat-tiled outbuildings, which have been converted to host events, surround this base-court. To the south, a gate leads to a vast walled kitchen garden with a greenhouse. There is another southern gate leading to a walled garden with an orangery and a maze of hornbeam hedges. To the east lies the English-style landscaped parkland. Beyond the perimeter walls, a gardener's lodge, former outbuildings and 52 hectares of woodland complete the property.
