In the Baie de Somme, 2 hours from Paris, a 18th-century chateau, 460 m², and its park of 9 hectares. The chateau was built in 1790 for Pierre Fanneau de la Horie, lord of La Touche, an engineer of the King responsible for the development of the ports on the Picardy coast and the Baie de Somme. He acquired the Lordship of Lanchères in 1774, the pre-existing building having been completely destroyed. The architect of the typical neoclassical residence is Antoine-Charles Aubert, who is also responsible for the Place du Palais Bourbon in Paris, as well as various buildings and private hotels that have since disappeared, including a folly in Lanchères, which was located on the hill of Chaillot. The canals and the park were designed and planted at the same time. A gate opens onto a large circular grassy parterre, planted with trimmed yews. A pathway, also circular, allows parking of vehicles in front of the chateau. Two pavilions, used respectively as a garage and a shed, are located at each end of the courtyard. A little away, a chapel and a dovecote seem to guard the property while, to the west, there is a walled orchard with old greenhouses, an orangery used as craft workshops, and a swimming pond. An old farm located to the east adjoins the plant maze. The estate includes a park planted with 9 hectares, featuring a French ornamental garden (Mérimée base), orchard, pastures, woods, and canals connecting to the marshes of Lanchères and Cayeux-sur-Mer.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century Palladian chateau, its outbuildings, tree-filled grounds, a swimming pool and vegetable garden, on the border of the Corrèze and Cantal departments. Seen from above, the chateau’s footprint is a reminder that it was built below the vestiges of a fortified castle constructed around 1470, which once belonged to the same family. Located on the outskirts of the village and nestled within a verdant setting, from its entrance gate, a lane skirts the grounds’ immense expanses of lawn before arriving at the chateau. Steeped in the heritage of French Palladian dwellings from the early 19th century, when Palladio’s influence was combined with local classicism, the use of carefully dressed blonde stone and the regularity of the stonework conveys the desire to make the building as durable as possible, according to a rational architectural ideal, while its white louvred shutters help lighten the chateau’s overall and impressive heft. Surrounded by a wide array of tall trees: limes, thuyas, beeches and different resinous varieties, directly opposite the chateau, several metres from the swimming pool and skirting a portion of the wall that separates the property from a private drive, a perennial flowerbed is planted with rosebushes in an array of shimmering colours. In addition, a barn, adjacent to the chateau, is used as a garage and the machine room for the swimming pool, while, set back at a distance, a small 16th-century manor house, with its own garden and a central staircase tower, abuts the grounds’ southern entrance. As for the grounds, they include a variety of different spaces, such as a vegetable garden, a piece of land zoned for construction and two grassy plots, whereas four agricultural parcels with two barns, each with 400 m², can be purchased with the property at an additional price.

An elegant 19th century chateau, its orangery, guest houses, water feature and 8.5 hectares of grounds, just 40 minutes from Toulouse city centre . The main entrance to the estate is situated away from the main thoroughfares, and leads to an earthen esplanade bordered by a low wall protecting a cypress hedge. Braced by two fluted, rusticated columns with floral motifs, the wrought iron gate with its fine scrolls opens onto a driveway that winds through the parkland featuring centuries-old trees. To the left, perched on a small hill, the five-storey chateau overlooks the entire estate. Built on the site of a former 16th-century fortified castle, it has a four-sided slate roof. Its perron offers a view over the park and its lawn, which gently slopes towards the main entrance. To the west of the chateau, there is a dovecote with arcades and a pagoda-like flat-tile roof topped by a lantern. The remaining outbuildings are situated to the south, in the eastern part of the grounds: they comprise villas that have been turned into gîtes (guest lodgings), as well as another annexe awaiting restoration. Opposite the chateau, a water feature takes pride of place in the centre of the lawn, bordered by centuries-old trees. To the right, there is a swimming pool with pool house, followed by an orangery. The orangery is bordered by a terrace that runs along one side of the pond and preceded by a parking area. Finally, a track at the back leads to one of the estate's secondary entrances. It should be noted that the estate, which is still in activity, could be sold in the form of two companies: a SCI (non-trading property company) owning the land and a SARL (limited liability company) operating the estate, which will manage events and hospitality rentals. As a result, the property benefits from attractive tax incentives.

In Haute-Corrèze, on the edge of a village, a 15th-century restored castle, with outbuildings and ponds, on a 73-hectare estate, more than 21 hectares of which are woods and land. The castle, whose oldest parts date back to the 15th century, was built on the probable site of a feudal motte from the 9th century. Its layout essentially follows the structure of the medieval walls, documented since the 13th century, which still organizes the site today. The north facade faces the village church and a neo-Gothic chapel of the estate built in 1898. It is integrated into the enclosing wall, which extends east and west and delineates immediate access to the property. Two gates provide access to the estate. To the northeast, the first leads to the gardens, parking areas, annex buildings, a swimming pool, and a passage to an honor courtyard. The second gate opens onto a driveway that runs along the western side of the castle to the honor courtyard. The stone facades and slates from Travassac have undergone complete restoration. The gravel honor courtyard is bordered by the two main wings, also called the "small" and "large" parts, built with three levels and arranged at a right angle. The courtyard is closed off to the south by a fortified wall that overlooks a zone of dry moats. The two wings are separated by a passageway that connects the courtyard to the back of the castle, its dependencies, gardens, and swimming pool. The small part extends along a north-south axis around a rectangular building flanked by a residential tower. The large part, oriented east-west, consists of several buildings and towers, including a spiral staircase tower and a square tower marking the angle of the right angle. To the south, an inner enclosing wall marks the transition to the estate's land and contributes to the staging of the castle, established as a belvedere. It is punctuated by stone staircases and, near the swimming pool, by a circular turret with a pepper-box roof.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A noble Renaissance-era dwelling, its holiday cottage and outbuildings in a 2-hectare enclosed park overlooking the valley, within the Périgord Blanc region. Dating from the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries, the property stands on a hillside, protected by woodlands to the south and overlooking the valley to the north and west. The high north end walls of the main edifice, with sparse openings, the buttresses and the round tower of the current guest house testify to the fact that this was once a fortified castle. A tree-lined driveway leads from the entrance gate to the noble residence, while a track running alongside the tennis court meets the outbuildings and a swimming pool at the bottom of a slope. A barely visible lap pool is perfectly embedded in the park surrounding the complex. The residence is framed by two enclosed spaces, each offering a breathtaking view: the courtyard where the main entrance is located, a well topped by a pyramid-shaped roof, an outbuilding used as a garden shed, a hangar for vehicles, as well as a pool facing a low pilaster and dressed stone wall. All of these are accessed via a carriage gate, a pedestrian gate and a recently installed gate. On the other side of the residence, the lawned garden with bountiful flowers features a summer dining area under a covered patio.

40 minutes south of Toulouse, a 18th-century manor house, with outbuildings in 4,700 m² of grounds. This property was built around 1760 and then rebuilt during the 18th century by the Marquis de Sers. It occupies the same site as a medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. The rectangular building is entirely made of brick and boasts a pavilion at each of its four corners. Protruding brick cornices denote the separation between the two storeys of the edifice and underline the roof. On the façade, a semi-circular arched doorway sets the tone, whilst in the equivalent place at the rear, there is a rectangular French window. The façade faces the village square that occupies the manor house’s former domain, with views to the horizon of the green hills that overlook the municipality. In front of the edifice, the garden / courtyard is planted with rose bushes and rhododendrons, under the finely statured branches of two horse chestnut trees and two lime trees. Together, they provide freshness as well as shade in summer and light plus warmth in winter. The courtyard is surrounded by three buildings: the manor house, former stables and a hangar, forming a coherent architectural whole that protects against prying eyes and wind. Behind this brick screen, there is a second garden - the Garonne garden - which extends up to a discrete gate to the village’s church, which was the castle’s chapel in bygone days. It is framed by two mounds, most likely the former medieval moat. It is square in shape and retains subtle traces of its past as an ornamental garden, with geometric patterns and an elegant thoroughness. Two fountains - one in the garden / courtyard and the other in the Garonne garden - provide a gentle touch to the place. To the west, in a discrete corner of the Garonne garden, a swimming pool stands in its rightful place, lined with irises, rose bushes, olive trees and a few palm trees.

10 minutes from the center of Albi, by the Tarn river, a 16th-century château and its 3.6-hectare park. The château was built between the 16th and 17th centuries, and later a wing was rebuilt in the 19th century. Classified as a historical monument, it is linked to local history. Jean-François de Galaup, Count of Lapérouse, a famous navigator and explorer born in 1741, spent his childhood there. The residence largely retains its organization from this period. Access to the property is via a metal gate leading to a tree-lined driveway up to the château courtyard. A surrounding terrace borders the building and overlooks the meadows that slope down toward the Tarn, visible through the trees. Below, a swimming pool is set in the slope of the land, while an old nymphaeum, likely created in the 19th century and fed by a spring, is situated away from the main area. The park, of about 3.6 hectares, consists of tall trees, ornamental plantings, meadows, and wooded areas. The plots spread around the château and provide views of the river from the terrace and façades.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A listed historical monument medieval castle in tree-filled land, with 4-hectare grounds, a swimming pool and a tennis court in the Hautes-Pyrénées area. This castle is an admirable remnant of the Hautes-Pyrénées’ heritage and is perfectly preserved. It boasts a thousand-year history and is a listed historical monument. Its first foundations date, in all likelihood, from the 11th century when the defensive tower was used to protect the surrounding fields from pillaging and plundering, in particular by the Aragonese forces. Although the building has undergone many transformations as time has passed, its 15th-century eastern façade has remained unchanged. The edifice was acquired by the Count of Lavedan in 1274, a year during which he received the seigniory of Horgues from the Count of Bigorre to clear a debt. From Raymond-Garcie IV de Lavedan to Jean-Pierer Ducasse de Horgues, over a period of more than 500 years, the castle had almost twenty illustrious owners. From that point in time until 2018, the estate was owned by the same family. The medieval castle with two towers was built on the outskirts of the village and was overhauled in the 17th and 18th centuries. Through a double leaf wrought iron gate, a plane tree lined drive runs alongside rubble stone built former stables with a roof of half round tiles, opposite the castle and its imposing silhouette, built in the 15th century and since transformed several times. In addition to the two towers on either side, the seigniorial residence is made up of two four-storey rectangular sections in a T-shape, each with a sprocketed, gabled slate roof. The two towers, one of which is square and the other which is rounded on one side and squared on the other, are both topped by an octagonal level adored with a slate roof of the same shape. It is thought that the tower to the southwest was added in the 18th century. Lastly, the castle’s former water mill can be found behind the residence. It is currently used as a holiday cottage, while the grounds spread out all around the buildings and, to the left of the castle, play host to a swimming pool.

A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a chapel and a lake, nestled in 30 hectares of grounds in the south of France’s Touraine province. The seigneurial home that was built here on the ruins of a medieval mansion, of which no vestiges remain, was endlessly redesigned until it collapsed in 1860. In 1890, the decision was made to rebuild the edifice on the site. A renowned architect, Louis-Alfred Trolliet, a specialist in the reconstruction of chateaux, was entrusted with this task. He was responsible for the edifice you can see here today. Trolliet was nicknamed ‘the Viollet-le-Duc of the Berry province’ in a nod to the famous 19th-century French architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc who restored many medieval monuments. Trolliet won his spurs as a leading figure of the Troubadour style in French architecture with his restoration of the Château de Romefort in the town of Ciron. To rebuild the present property, he did not adopt the Troubadour style but rather the style of the Loire Valley chateaux that was also in vogue at the time. Trolliet opted for a long rectangular dwelling crowned with tall hipped roofs of slate tiles recalling the Château de Chenonceau and the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau. The grand edifice comes into view once you have gone through the entrance gate and made your way up the long central drive punctuated symmetrically with topiary box shrubs neatly clipped into cones. The château faces east and west. Its main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The adjoining square tower has a third floor in its roof space. The symmetrical elevations are rendered and punctuated with large small-paned windows fitted with wooden louvred shutters that are painted sky blue. Gabled dormers punctuate the roof of the main section and that of the square tower. Beyond the château, the drive crosses dense woodland on this estate, which covers around 30 hectares and includes a 1.2-hectare lake. Trolliet also decided to build two large lodges as foreparts of the château exactly opposite it. These two buildings are rectangular. They have a ground floor and a first floor. A third lodge stands at a right angle to one of them. This third structure has an eclectic style and recalls a train station. On the south side, a circular dovecote with a cone roof of terracotta tiles adorns the grounds. On the east side, there is a heated swimming pool. Behind the outhouses, a secondary entrance leads to a gravelled car park. Lastly, on the north-west side, there is a private lake. In the middle of this lake there is a small tree-dotted island.

An isolated 14th and 17th century castle divided into four homes, in the middle of 34 hectares of land in the Dordogne area, to the northwest of Périgueux. This estate, in the heart of a rural and undulating environment, away from large and medium-sized thoroughfares, is spread out over more than 34 hectares of meadows, organic farmland and woods. The buildings, located in the centre of this land, are surrounded by parkland and boast an inner courtyard, gardens, patios and an approximately 1-hectare orchard. The property benefits from uninterrupted 360° views. It is made up of a main edifice with two wings in an L-shape flanked by an imposing 14th-century round tower where they join, a farm with its various farm buildings near to the passing road and, lastly, set slightly away from the rest, a swimming pool with a view overlooking the surrounding nature. The rubble stone and ashlar façades are mostly rendered, with mainly rectangular doors and windows, some of which have mullions and transoms, while the mainly gabled roofs are made up of half-round or flat tiles. The main entrance to the property is formed by a drive, lined with hundred-year-old trees and a long farm building, that leads to an inner courtyard closed by a gate. A secondary entrance runs alongside a lawned, shaded parking area to the west wing of the castle.

A 15th-century chateau, its outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool, surrounded by 21 hectares of unoccupied land, along the outskirts of the Quercy region, twenty minutes from Brive-la-Gaillarde. In the 14th century, the lands owned by the de Chabannes family were transferred to Adhémar d’Aigrefeuille, Baron of Gramat, before the de Muzac family, whose patriarch was the King of France’s sergeant-at-arms, took possession of the estate in the next century, pledging his allegiance to the Viscount of Turenne in the process. Through marriages and successive inheritances, the fiefdom was then passed down to the de Tournier family of Corrèze, followed by that of the de Materre de Chauffour family, which owned it until 1870. Left abandoned for nearly a century, the dwelling was given a new life in 1966 when a painter and his wife bought the chateau, nearly in ruins, and undertook a large-scale restoration. From the wrought-iron gate, which indicates the estate’s formal entrance, a gravel lane traverses a large swath of lawn and leads to the property’s upper patio, the latter of which skirts the southeast exterior of the oldest of the three dwellings. Faithful to the origin of its name, the dwelling is made up of two adjacent edifices, which hug the land’s natural slope: the older of the two is located above the more recent construction, whereas the two wings are partially connected via a third dwelling abutting a square tower-dovecote. The upper edifice, from the late 15th century, is made up of a rectangular structure, the western part of which was completely reassembled with original materials recovered from the rubble after 1945, while a stately hexagonal tower, with a lauze slate tile roof, juts forward into the courtyard. In addition, mullioned windows, including two corner ones behind the dwelling, cadence its exteriors, whereas, in the interior corner of the second building, in all likelihood built in the late 17th century, a circular tower, completely rebuilt in 2025, is topped with a lauze slate roof. This same dwelling also features a balcony with balusters, supported by a basket-handle arch, while a series of dormers, crowned with finials, punctate the various rooftops – long, conical, pavilion and hipped – that have been deftly blended together. Lastly, slate and barrel tiles as well as tall chimneys, gracefully coiffed, create an overall aesthetic and aerial composition, whereas the outbuildings – a Limousin-style barn and a former hunting lodge – provide the finishing touches for this remarkable and historical estate.

A 19th century chateau with 14.5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère . This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat “beaver tail” tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.

A 110-hectare hunting estate with exceptional enclosed grounds in the centre of France. Set back from the road and any other neighbouring dwellings, the estate of nearly 110 hectares, devoid of all disturbances and enclosed by 2.3-metre high fences, is mainly composed of 76 hectares of woods with a variety of different trees, meadows and five ponds ideal for hunting. As for the buildings, in the middle of the property, they are grouped around a courtyard, surrounded by meticulously maintained grounds planted with plane trees, and include a manor house, a guesthouse, two caretaker’s cottages, a reception hall and various outbuildings used for the estate’s daily operations. Completely and carefully renovated over the past 20 years, the estate’s buildings all exude exceptional quality, comfort and elegance.

A sophisticatedly decorated, elegant manor rebuilt in 1912 in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, in 1.76-hectare grounds, 50 minutes from Toulouse and its airport, close to Montauban. A dead-end lane leads to the main entrance to the estate, which is framed by two imposing umbrella pines with twisted trunks. Two ashlar pillars crowned by pyramid-shaped capitals topped with spheres stand either side of wide, grey, double-leaf, metal gates topped by railings. Once though the gate, visitors’ gazes are drawn by two fenced meadows, dotted with cedars and oaks, while a hedge hides the spaces set aside for parking. Opposite the drive, a brick fountain babbles away regularly in front of the main building in the property. The three-storey manor boasts living space of approximately 520 m² and its façades are made of pink brinks punctuated by white dressed stone or rendered stone. The roof made of interlocking tiles and formed by unique series of interlinking sections is in very good condition. The 18th-century former dowager’s manor was entirely rebuilt in the 20th century by a Dutch diplomat, who became a benefactor of the village following the floods of 1930. He drew his inspiration from the modern Arts & Crafts movement that was fashionable in northern Europe at the time. He combined the architecture of noble aesthetics with the wealth of traditional craftsmanship know-how, as demonstrated by the sculpted panelling, oak flooring and staircases, moulded or coffered plasterwork on the ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, white Quercy stone or stained-glass windows in each room. Away from the main stoop, a clearing houses a swimming pool with light-coloured stone decking, surrounded by shrubs, flower beds and small bushes of aromatic plants. The pool’s technical facilities are housed in a nearby building. A shaded terrace stands next to the swimming pool. An orchard made up of old fruit tree varieties stretches out below to the left. Lastly, a wood occupies the edges of the entirely fenced property.

A 19th-century manor and its outbuildings on a 22-hectare estate, thirty minutes from the town of Vichy in the north of the Puy-de-Dôme department. Perched up on a hill, this rectangular three-storey building is topped with a flat tile roof and flanked by a round tower on one side and a rectangular-shaped wing on the other. With grounds extending over approximately 22 hectares, its upper floors provide panoramic views of the nearby hills and the Limagne plain in the distance, while, the chateau, abutting a wooded hillside, is surrounded by large meadows below. As for the property’s reception rooms, they are located on the other side of a courtyard, behind the chateau, as are a caretaker’s cottage and various other outbuildings.

A chateau made of tuffeau stone, with outhouses, a swimming pool, a tennis court and almost 4.5 hectares of grounds, just a few minutes from the city of Tours. From a narrow one-way road, an iron gate between two tuffeau stone pillars leads onto a driveway. This drive runs through a wood to a parking area beside a vast lawn. On one side stands the south-facing chateau. The first references to the edifice date back to the 15th century, but the chateau in its current form dates back to 1720. The chateau was severely damaged in the Second World War, but was later rebuilt. It is made of tuffeau stone. The edifice has a central main section with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. This main section has a huge triangular pediment with a bull’s-eye window in the middle. It is crowned with a hipped slate roof. On the garden side, the roof has four arched dormers with volute ailerons. And on the other side, there are three gabled dormers facing the inner courtyard. On the south side, a flight of steps leads up to a broad terrace edged with finely crafted stone balusters. The east wing is made of rubble stone coated with rendering. It has a ground floor and a first floor in the roof space. The roof is a mansard slate roof. On its garden side, this roof is punctuated with dormers that are identical in style to those on the main section’s roof. On its courtyard side, it has two dormers with triangular pediments between two arched dormers. The other windows of the east wing are of different shapes and sizes and are fitted in tuffeau stone surrounds. A large covered entrance area with a paved floor leads to the inner courtyard. Opposite, there is a west wing: a single-storey structure made of tuffeau stone. Its facade is punctuated with three wooden double doors. This wing has a three-slope slate roof. At the back, the inner courtyard is framed between two wings. This outdoor space extends, over different levels, across a terraced garden up to two small towers: a chapel and a former dovecote. The grounds cover almost 4.5 hectares. They are dotted with trees of different varieties. Paths lead to the swimming pool and outhouses on one side and to a tennis court and a small log cabin on the other side. There are several bubble-like treehouses in the trees.
