A 19th-century chateau to renovate for a tourist project, near to the Loire Valley chateaux in more than 2 hectares of parkland. Off a small road, a private lane crosses the moat and leads to a 16th-century postern listed as a historical monument, behind which there is a large lawned courtyard. On one side, the chateau, which was rebuilt in the 19th century, stands on a rocky outcrop. The five-storey edifice stretches from the ground floor to the attic level beneath the rafters, boasting a tuffeau stone facade and a slate gabled roof. On the main facade, two stone dormers with triangular pediments punctuate the roof. At the top of the tuffeau stone elevation, a denticulated frieze underlines the roof. Each level includes four vertically aligned windows, protected by wrought-iron guard-rails and topped by a cornice. The main residence and its two towers are framed by two small and lower wings with flat roofs crowned by stone balustrades. Except for the roofs of the terraces, which require renovation, the structure of the edifice is in a good state. However, it requires full renovation inside. The four storeys are connected by a stone spiral staircase housed in the larger, multi-sided, crenelated tower that flanks the facade. A more slender tower with a pepper-pot roof stands on the other side of the facade. Each level could be transformed into a large self-contained apartment, while the various terraces make it possible to create private outside spaces. The former carriage shed adjacent to the residence could also be transformed into a self-contained cottage. The same is true of the postern at the entrance and the tithe tower, both of which are bordered by the moat. A swimming pool that resembles a garden pond, set slightly away from the buildings, is surrounded by a lawn, while the tall trees ensure privacy.

The Château du Maréchal de Saxe An Exceptional Historic Estate on the Outskirts of Paris. Just twenty kilometres from Paris, at the heart of an estate spanning approximately sixty hectares, the Château de la Grange, better known as the Château du Maréchal de Saxe, stands among the most remarkable historic residences in the Île-de-France region. Originally commissioned in 1617 by Charles Duret de Chevry, Superintendent of Finances under King Louis XIII, and designed by the architect Jean Thiriot, a close associate of Cardinal Richelieu, the château was built on the foundations of a former fortified farm in the heart of the Forest of La Grange. Its elegant brick-and-stone architecture, a hallmark of the Louis XIII style, gives the property a timeless distinction. Offering approximately 1,300 sq.m (14,000 sq.ft) of living space, complemented by around 1,700 sq.m (18,300 sq.ft) of outbuildings, the estate presents exceptional potential for a luxury hospitality, events, institutional or mixed-use development of international standing. The château entered history in 1748 when it was acquired by Maurice de Saxe, Marshal of France, victor of the Battle of Fontenoy and one of the greatest military strategists of the eighteenth century. He undertook extensive improvements to the estate, including the creation of the celebrated Galerie des Stucs (Stucco Gallery). Over the centuries, the estate passed into the hands of several distinguished families closely connected to the highest circles of power, notably the Gourgaud family, whose history is deeply intertwined with the Napoleonic era. Listed as a Historic Monument, the château has preserved its façades, roofs, ceremonial gallery, several historic reception rooms, its Cour d’Honneur, moats, magnificent entrance gates and a substantial part of its landscaped park. The current owners have successfully revived the estate by restoring its historic salons and establishing a refined gourmet restaurant, demonstrating the remarkable potential of a property where heritage, gastronomy, nature and the French art of entertaining coexist in perfect harmony. Today, this extraordinary estate awaits a new visionary owner. Its immediate proximity to Paris, the quality of its architectural heritage, the scale of its buildings and the beauty of its grounds make it a truly rare opportunity to create a prestigious hotel. Some estates preserve history. Others offer the opportunity to write it.

At the gates of Dauphiné, an emblematic castle listed as a historical monument. The estate is established within a vast fortified enclosure of about one kilometer, whose walls remind us of its original defensive purpose. The castle, a major stronghold of medieval Dauphiné, built from the 13th century and then remodeled until the Renaissance, is constructed in a U-shaped plan around a large inner courtyard. The main building, made of limestone and rubble, is raised to three levels above the ground floor. The facades are largely pierced with mullioned windows and are animated, on the courtyard side, by arcaded galleries and Renaissance loggias, which testify to the gradual transformation of the fortress into a lordly residence. The whole is flanked by a round tower from the 14th century, a square tower, and a preserved keep, while several vestiges of curtain walls remain. The steep roofs, covered with flat tiles creating a polychrome diamond pattern or of pepperbox style, are punctuated by dormer windows and tall chimney stacks. To the east, a path leads to the entrance porch. To the south, the French gardens open onto a wooded park. A caretaker's lodge and former stables are located near the main residence and complete the historical organization of the site.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Iin the footsteps of Joan of Arc, a 16th-century, former small village castle, listed as a historical monument. The property is located in the centre of the village, opposite the church, overlooking the plain. It is the result of joining two buildings built with lime rendered rubble stone. The first one stands alongside the street and was probably a former farming outbuilding. It has two storeys and a finely crafted corner bracket, four windows, three bullseye windows and a wooden garage door. Standing perpendicularly next to it, the residence’s front facade overlooks a gravelled courtyard, while there is a patio to the rear, a garden and slopes planted with fir trees, while shrubs and fruit trees stand against the southern gable end. The property also possesses a single-storey outbuilding, situated next to the former farm outbuilding, topped with a roof of interlocking tiles. The entirety of the main residence, the facade and roof of the outbuilding, the courtyard area and the boundary wall including a period gate are all listed as a historic monument.

SUMPTUOUS 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN UPPER PROVENCE - Luberon - 13 Hectares - Superb view - Listed Historic Monument - 1 hour from Aix-en-Provence - Forcalquier - Provence. In a sublime landscape with views stretching for several kilometers, this classical palace built around 1720 perfectly illustrates the French art of living during the Regency period, worthy of the film Que la fête commence. The architectural magnificence of what is considered the finest 18th-century chateau in Provence is matched only by the extraordinary effort required to build it during the last plague epidemic in Europe, in Marseille from 1720 to 1722, combined with colossal financial means born from the financial euphoria of John Law's banking system. A work by the great Parisian architect Pierre-Alexis Delamair, who designed the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris, now home to the National Archives, its construction was entrusted to Jean-Baptiste Franque, who created some of the finest 18th-century monuments in Provence, notably in Aix and Avignon. Its 18th-century classical architecture, strongly inspired by Parisian and Versailles architecture, is particularly refined, classical and symmetrical, centered around a projecting central section with three bays of French windows beneath a large pediment. It is known as the “Trianon of Provence”. Its gables are equally remarkable, with extremely rich sculptures, elaborate wrought-iron balconies, and on the park side, overlooking from a broad terrace the vast formal French gardens recently recreated, the central projection of the façade displays a sumptuous portico of four fully rounded columns, exceptionally rare for a private residence in the 18th century, as such elements inspired by Antiquity were reserved for the highest-ranking figures connected to the royal family. Inside, beneath ceilings reaching 5.3 meters high and flooded with light from every direction, the entrance hall opens onto the grand 80 m² reception salon. It is decorated with pilasters topped by Ionic capitals, echoed by monumental free-standing columns leading to the majestic staircase, entirely open through its grand flight of steps rising to the upper floor, populated with columns forming balconies dramatically overlooking the hall. It is undoubtedly one of the finest private 18th-century staircases in France. The ground floor opens on every side into a sequence of reception rooms with very restrained décor, left unfinished in the 18th century after the collapse of Law's banking system in 1720, in which the Forbin family, patrons of the property, are said to have participated. A grand salon, a music room adorned with a balustrade, a salon with alcove and niche, a large dining room with a neo-Gothic fireplace, an entrance hall on the south gable at the location of the former chapel, two large rooms used as visitor boutiques, and a mezzanine apartment with 3 bedrooms. Linen room, WC. A mezzanine apartment on the south gable, a kitchen, a living/dining room, access via the south staircase; on the mezzanine level upstairs, an office, a linen room, two bedrooms, and access to the mezzanine of the music salon. On the first floor, an extraordinary and highly impressive gallery 45 meters long runs alongside the majestic columned hall overlooking the staircase. 8 very beautiful bedrooms, some with antechambers and private cabinets, decorated with fireplaces. A billiard-library adorned with magnificent 19th-century wallpapers. A chapel. A large attic. Large and beautiful vaulted stone cellars. Wine cellars. Tunnel. Central heating in part of the chateau. In the outbuildings: Two guesthouses with 2 and 3 bedrooms. A 3-bedroom residence. A reception hall seating 150 guests in the former orangery, professional kitchen, restrooms. A large garage for 2 cars. A swimming pool. Sumptuous terraced gardens arranged along a 500-meter axial perspective: 300 meters of grand avenue facing the chateau and 270 meters on the terraced garden side. Embroidery gardens recreating the original 18th-century plans by Pierre-Alexis Delamair preserved in Munich, reconstructed in 2023, highlighted by a monumental stone obelisk. A very beautiful and large ornamental pond with its fountain to the north. 18th-century double-flight staircases. Location: -2.5 km from the first shops and services. A hotel 1.5 km away. -3 km from a 5-star hotel. -5 km from Forcalquier, all shops and services. -20 km from the A51 motorway. -67 km from Aix-en-Provence (1 hour). -87 km from Aix TGV station (1h10).

CHATEAU BUILT FROM THE 15TH TO THE 20TH CENTURY, 120 KM FROM PARIS IN THE PERCHE REGION - Exceptional charm and character - 5 main buildings - 18 bedrooms - 2,500 m² built area - Southern Perche - 8 km from the A10 motorway exit - 20 hectares - Structural shell in good condition, interior fully requiring restoration. Fully listed Historic Monument. On the edge of a small village in the Perche region, 120 km from Paris and 8 km from the motorway, this chateau of exceptional charm consists of 5 main buildings dating from the 15th to the 20th century, on the site of a former chateau burned during the Hundred Years' War. There are two entrances. The first, on the village side, is through a tall and long wrought-iron gate leading to the former gatehouse residence, now converted into a grand salon. The second entrance, on the park side, passes through a tall crenellated gateway dominated by the imposing “water chateau” tower. The impressive richly decorated medieval gatehouse quickly appears after crossing the bridge spanning the canal, followed by the other courtyard buildings. The heterogeneity of this ensemble reflects the long history of the estate. The original square medieval chateau surrounded by moats was burned in the first half of the 15th century by the Earl of Salisbury, commander-in-chief of the English troops, while on his way to lay siege to Orléans. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, the remaining parts of this medieval chateau are the gatehouse known as “Le Donjon” and the Saint-François Tower. This medieval chateau was incorporated in the 19th century into the ensemble formed by the other buildings through the destruction of one of its sides and the filling in of part of the moats connecting it to the “new” chateau. The main body of the current chateau is composed of 16th-, 17th-, and 18th-century buildings. A first pavilion forming a gatehouse residence attached to a gallery was built at the end of the 16th century and remodeled in the second half of the 17th century with the addition of two small pavilions. This ensemble was raised by one additional floor in the 18th century. The enclosure of the gatehouse residence to create a grand office gave it its final appearance. These buildings, together with the Louis XVI pavilion and the other outbuildings, form a U-shaped courtyard overlooking a splendid 20-hectare park, notably featuring a large 200-meter-long terrace overlooking a vast meadow on one side and separated from a woodland of beautiful mature deciduous trees on the other side by a canal. The park also includes sumptuous boxwood embroidery gardens and yew topiaries, as well as a grand avenue and a one-hectare vegetable garden. 5 main buildings: 1 - The “chateau” closest to the village square, known as “Le Pavillon du Bourg”, 16th, 17th, and 18th century. 2 - The gatehouse known as “Le Donjon”, 15th, 18th, and 20th century. A 15th-century gallery, and a residential section built in 1980 connected to an 18th-century tower. 3 - The Saint-François Tower, 15th century. 4 - The Louis XVI pavilion known as the “Renaissance House” and its tower known as “La Cloche”, 16th century, modified in the 17th and 18th centuries. 5 - The outbuildings, 16th–19th–20th century.

A chateau from the Middle Ages & Renaissance, on 15-ha grounds, overlooking the Goul River valley, on the border of the Cantal & Aveyron departments. Erected in the middle of its grounds and nestled in a setting completely sheltered from all disturbances, the chateau, a national Historical Monument, stands above the valley, which marks the historic boundary between Upper Auvergne and the former Rouergue province. Accessible from its eastern side, where at one time there was undoubtedly a drawbridge, the chateau’s origins date back to the Middle Ages when the site was a simple keep surrounded by an enclosure with five to seven defensive towers. Today, the only thing that remains from this era is the first keep to the west, a second tower built in the 15th century to the east, as well as one of the defensive towers, now shortened and surrounded by patios and plenty of open spaces. As for the central dwelling, built in the Renaissance between the two square towers, its southern façade features many mullioned windows and breath-taking sculpted décor around its main entrance, while, to the north, an additional wing was added in the 18th century. Inside, the layout of the rooms has not been modified and, besides an immense Italianate staircase, the ground floor contains a former lower hall, which is now used as a dining room, a small TV room, two kitchens – the original and a more recent one – as well as a door to the cellars and garage, whereas the first floor features a former lords’ hall, a small adjacent sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room with lavatory. In addition, the door to the chateau’s 18th-century wing gives on to a series of three adjacent bedrooms with washbasins, a bathroom and a separate lavatory, while the second floor includes the immense 'Queen’s bedroom', a study, two more bedrooms and a shower room with lavatory. As for the doorway on the half landing, it opens on to a shower room and an attic in the 18th-century wing, whereas the third floor is made up of an exhibition hall, followed by a guest bedroom, former staff rooms and an interior dovecote. Lastly, a small staircase leads to the attic with an immense room boasting breath-taking wooden rafters and two fireplaces, which precedes an oratory and the upper sections of the two towers, while a caretaker’s cottage and a swimming pool can also be found on the property.

A listed Moorish Revival villa opposite Ile de la Comtesse on the Goëlo coast in Brittany, with panoramic sea views. With the rising popularity of sea bathing at the end of the 19th century, a new type of seaside architecture emerged along the French coast, designed for relaxation and turned towards the outdoors. Residences in a variety of bold styles flourished on the shores of the Goëlo region. Built on a hilltop, the 'Turkish Villa' was erected by the Count de la Lande de Calan around 1880. Extended in 1906, it offers uninterrupted views of the sea and the port. The house is part of a co-owned plot with an adjoining 4-star hotel. Access to the property is unrestricted. One parking space is reserved for the villa's residents, and five others can be made available on an occasional basis. The entrance is on the western facade. Extensive vegetation, combined with a coursed granite masonry supporting wall with a balustrade, ensures privacy. A large bed of rosebushes precedes the wall and balusters, with a profusion of agapanthus as a backdrop. Two well-trimmed conifer hedges mark the entrance. Between these, a small staircase leads to an esplanade and to a granite approach stair serving the solid wood entrance door, carved in the shape of a horseshoe arch.

The 'Mas de la Brune', a listed, Renaissance-style gem, its 4 ha of parklands and its gardens at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in Eygalières. At the end of a row of two-hundred-year-old horse chestnut trees, three interconnected constructions comprise the buildings on this predominantly wooded, 4-ha property. The first is the Renaissance-style manor house, known as the 'Mas de la Brune', constructed in 1572; the only building of this type, standing in the middle of the land, rising up like a nave, proudly showing visitors the prow of its watch-turret. Directly adjoining the manor, a more recent construction dating from the 18th century stands in the shade of a three-hundred-year-old lime tree. This building once housed the staff accommodation. And lastly, on the east side, where a perimeter wall no doubt once existed, a rehabilitated farmhouse is separated from the manor by a row of cypress trees. Opening on to a vast courtyard that extends behind the French formal garden, it acts as a link with the rest of the parklands, where the permanent singing of the precious water, coming down from the Alpilles Mountains via the canal of the same name, can be heard. The French Historic Monument listing, dating from the 9 August 1924, applies solely to the 'Mas de la Brune', already showing on Cassini’s 18th century map under the name of 'Grand Mas'. Some say it was constructed for the consul Pierre-Bruno-Isnard, who gave it the feminine version of his surname, whilst others maintain it was for an alchemist, whose name is long forgotten. In both cases, this outstanding building, entirely constructed from Baux stone, was probably built by master mason, Gaston-Flayelle, native of the Vivarais region, who also designed the 'Hôtel de Manville' in Les-Baux-de-Provence. The size of the manor house, its biblical paraphrases sculpted on the façade, like a big open book, and including the secret number of steps of its spiral stairway tend to reinforce the hypothesis of an alchemist’s home. A spacious tiled swimming pool, cleverly concealed from onlookers in a copse of laurel bushes, has been installed a good distance from the main house. And lastly, a carpark, out of sight of the manor but able to take ten or so cars, has been laid out in the shade of mulberry plane trees.

A 16th-century chateau on 3.6-hectare grounds, ten minutes from downtown Albi, on the banks of the Tarn River. Built primarily between the 16th and 17th centuries, except for one of the chateau’s wings, which was later rebuilt in the 19th century, the chateau, listed as a regional historical monument, is closely linked to local history: this was the birthplace of Jean-François de Galaup in 1741, Count of Lapérouse and a famous navigator and explorer, who spent his childhood here, while the dwelling has preserved, for the most part, its 18th-century layout. Accessible via a metal gate, which opens on to a tree-lined lane that leads to the chateau’s courtyard, the property features a patio that skirts the edifice and overlooks the nearby meadows that descend towards the Tarn, visible through the trees. Below, a swimming pool blends in seamlessly with the property’s rolling topography, while a former nymphaeum, most likely created in the 19th century and supplied with water via a natural spring, is located off to one side. As for the grounds, of approximately 3.6 hectares, they feature tall trees, ornamental plants, pastureland and wooded areas, whereas the chateau enjoys unobstructed panoramas of the river from its patio and exteriors.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.

An early 20th-century Art Nouveau chateau listed as a historic monument, set within 4 hectares of grounds in the heart of the capital of the Drôme. The building was constructed in the early 20th century at the request of Alfred Gayet, a mining engineer and inventor of a process for extracting and refining gold. To carry out this work, he was joined by the renowned architect Pierre Blein, with contributions from the painter Guillermin, the stained-glass artist Thomas, the interior designer Boulanger, and the landscape architects Luizet and Barret. The construction of the main house and its various outbuildings (caretaker’s house, farm buildings, dovecote and hydroelectric plant), as well as the landscaping of the grounds, were carried out between 1900 and 1904, under Blein’s direction. The chateau was adorned with Art Nouveau elements: remarkable painted decorations by Guillermin and Mangier, stained-glass windows from the Thomas workshop, and earthenware by Boulanger and Villeroy & Bosch. The residence, with its cut-stone facades and canal-tile roofs, comprises a central block and two wings at right angles, the right-hand wing featuring a rotunda and the left-hand wing a square tower. It has four storeys, including a basement with numerous cellars, and around 20 rooms spread across the three levels: a large entrance hall, two drawing rooms, games and reading rooms, a dining room, a kitchen and other utility spaces on the ground floor; a vast hall, five bedrooms and four bathrooms on the first floor; a spacious rotunda room, four staff bedrooms and five attics, one of which is convertible, on the second floor. The landscaped grounds, adorned with animal sculptures, cover 4.3 hectares and include a pond. Originally, canals were fed by the Épervière stream and led into a series of basins designed using the 'rocailleurs' method. It should be noted that the elements listed as historic monuments include the entire residence (interior and exterior), the grounds, the outbuildings, the caretaker’s house, the disused factory building and the dovecote.

A chateau from the late 17th century, listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities on 18 hectares of grounds, near Sablé, between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments. Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side. With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone. Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur. In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax. The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.
