LEGENDARY FORTRESS OF VEAUCE IN THE HEART OF THE ALLIER REGION - Historic Monument - MORE THAN 1,000 YEARS OF HISTORY - ON A ROCKY SPUR - SPLENDID VIEW - 8.3 HECTARES - ENDANGERED MONUMENT Known for having been the residence of Louis the Pious, Emperor of the West, in the 9th century. The site of the Chateau of Veauce has existed since the Gallo-Roman period, and springs still containing water from that era are visible in one of the castle cellars. In the 9th century, the chateau served as the summer residence of Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, Emperor and King of the Franks. The fortress underwent numerous construction and reconstruction phases: in the 11th century, the 13th century, and then at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, when the lordship of Veauce was elevated to a barony. The chateau then belonged to Louis II de Bourbon. Upon the death of the Constable Charles III de Bourbon in 1527, the lordship returned to the Crown. It was not until the 19th century that Veauce regained its splendor with the arrival of Charles de Cadier de Veauce, an influential politician and friend of the Duke of Morny, who restored the chateau in Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance style. He was also responsible for constructing the current stables and converting a semi-circular section of the fortress into a riding arena. He also commissioned the landscaping of the park by the Count of Choulot. From the medieval fortress remain the high keep, towers, curtain walls, part of the covered wall walk, and the kitchens. Despite its appearance as a medieval fortress, the Baron of Veauce modernized the property in the taste of the 19th century. In the 20th century, under the impulse of the penultimate owner, the chateau became associated with the legend of Lucie, a ghost reportedly seen many times, which brought fame both to the site and to its owner at the time, Mr. Tagori “de la Tour” (it was Eugène de Cadier de Veauce who sold the chateau to Mr. Tagori in 1972). The chateau consists of four wings: An ancient wing over three levels and several basement levels. This building, dating from the medieval period of the chateau, was largely remodeled during the 19th century but still retains 15th-century features such as fireplaces and mullioned windows. The east wing is served by a circular staircase located in a projecting tower next to which stands the castle chapel (probably a simple oratory). On the ground floor and first floor, a large corridor provides access to all the salons. The noble floor is located on the first floor. The second level, originally reserved for servants, has been partially renovated by the current owners. The basement contains the former kitchens of the medieval chateau as well as a series of cellars. There is also a cistern believed to date back to the Gallo-Roman era. A 19th-century wing designed in Neo-Renaissance style. Its layout is identical to the ancient wing. It was in this part of the monument that the Duke of Morny stayed while constructing the Chateau of Nades in the Puy-de-Dôme region. The two other wings, partially collapsed, consist of outbuildings, garages, and stables built upon former structures. The entire ensemble of these four wings is surrounded by curtain walls and fortification towers dating between the 13th and 15th centuries. Battlements and the conversion of one tower into a clock tower were added during the 19th century. Around the fortress are various landscaped features and buildings: To the east, a large terrace with staircase constituted the ceremonial access to the chateau, probably from the 18th century onward. An entrance with lodge and large gate was created in Troubadour style during the 19th century (another lodge, known as the “Lion Lodge,” forms the entrance at the eastern edge of the park). To the west, a former tower converted into an icehouse, as well as another entrance with lodge and gate (known as the “Small Lodge”). The 8.3-hectare park contains remarkable trees, and the river “Veauce” flows through the center of the estate. Several buildings, probably dating from the 19th century, have been left abandoned: a mill, a metal greenhouse, and various additional structures. The property is currently subject to an official emergency works order issued by the State to carry out urgent stabilization works, allowing the future owner time to prepare a full restoration program.

In Burgundy, along the Yonne River, a 19th-century castle and its 1.4 ha park. After returning from South Africa where he made a fortune, the patron of the Château de Belle-Rive had it built in 1885, on the foundations of an old inn. Inspired by neo-Gothic architecture and Renaissance style, this holiday residence has retained, thanks to significant recent renovations, the character that has made it famous in the local landscape. Set in a wooded park of about 1.4 ha, which partly borders the left bank of the Yonne, the house, raised in three levels including an attic, enjoys a peaceful setting, from which the views extend beyond the river, towards the valley and its wooded hills. The main access to the property is from a street in the village, whose center is accessible on foot, via an imposing wrought-iron gate. Past the former caretaker's house, at the end of a driveway, the building reveals itself, flanked on either side by two centenary sequoias. Oriented east/west, it has a hefty and human-scale silhouette. A glass gallery, occupying two levels over most of the central body, serves as the entrance. The reception rooms are oriented to the east and open onto the garden and the banks of the stream. The living spaces total approximately 490 m². In the distance, a classified historical monument can be seen above the water: it is the last suspension bridge that crosses the Yonne.This description has been automatically translated from French.

EXCLUSIVE. Lots of character and ancient history in this medieval castle just 10 mins from the Rhône valley and the motorways. Overlooking the Chomérac valley without any nuisance, the fortress built in a park of nearly one hectare has basalt stone defense walls 160 cm high. The environment is exceptional and the view unobstructed over the Ardèche mountains. Rare in our region, the square central building is flanked by 4 habitable towers. Many remains convince us that the first stones that erected the fortified castle have existed since the time of the Roman Empire, but it was in the Middle Ages that it took the form we know today. In the 14th century, during the Renaissance, the inner courtyard was fitted out with a monumental staircase in the Italian style with 4 levels leading to the new pleasure floors. This majestic work still exists today. The attic has very good possibilities. This castrum has 3 levels of approximately 400 m2 including around twenty guest and private rooms with shower room and WC, dining rooms, lounges, kitchens, libraries, cellars, large cellars , garage. The 4 towers are fitted out. West-facing terrace of 80 m2 overlooking the park as well as a superb terrace to the North.

Near Toulouse, in the heart of the Lauragais region, this castle offers a rare presence: that of an ancient, structured place, steeped in history, yet already geared towards hospitality, events, and business. It is reached via a long driveway that gradually establishes the atmosphere. The estate then reveals itself in all its grandeur, with its spacious rooms, tower, chapel, outbuildings, courtyards, ponds, and approximately 9 hectares of parkland. Together, they form a unique place, both preserved and private, yet accessible enough to support a true destination project. This castle is more than just a prestigious residence. It forms a complete property complex, designed around multiple uses: receptions, accommodation, private or professional events, charming stays, gîtes, bed and breakfast rooms, seminars, private retreats, or a family residence with complementary activities. The main castle retains the hallmarks of grand historic estates: elegant reception rooms, fireplaces, a stone staircase, a vaulted cellar, a chapel, numerous bedrooms, spacious circulation areas, and abundant natural light streaming through certain façades. The atmosphere is authentic, with a depth found only in places that have stood the test of time. The outbuildings add a more operational dimension to the estate. A large reception hall, complemented by adjoining spaces, a professional kitchen, restrooms, and technical areas, allows for the organization of large-scale events. The site also offers independent accommodation units, enhancing its appeal for tourism, events, or hospitality-related activities. Outside, the park provides a sense of openness. The ponds, the surrounding walls, the swimming pool, the distinct courtyards, and the landscaped vistas create a succession of atmospheres. Some spaces invite entertaining, others encourage quiet contemplation. It is this duality that gives the estate its richness: it can host gatherings, bring people together, but also preserve privacy. The geographical location is a significant asset. Caraman benefits from a sought-after rural setting, while remaining connected to Toulouse, its economic hub, its international airport, and major transport routes. For both domestic and international clientele, this proximity allows for a combination of heritage, accessibility, and the art of living in Southwest France. The Lauragais region, the former Pays de Cocagne (Land of Plenty), further enhances the appeal of the location. Charming villages, rolling landscapes, the Canal du Midi heritage, Revel, Sorèze, Lake Saint-Ferréol, and the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain) create a cohesive tourist environment, capable of supporting a high-end hospitality or resort project. This estate is ideal for a buyer with a visionary approach. It would be equally suitable for a heritage investor, an event or hospitality professional, or a family wishing to develop a vibrant, elegant, and unique venue. The property already possesses a strong foundation: a history, capacity, reception areas, accommodations, a well-structured park, and a strategic proximity to Toulouse. It now calls for a fresh perspective, a thoughtful redesign, and a repositioning that lives up to its potential. A castle for hosting, passing on traditions, developing, and reinventing. A rare estate, not frozen in its past, but ready to write a new chapter.

Réf. 4886 : Charming 19th C. chateau near Quimper This château stands majestically on its promontory. Surrounded by its grounds of just over 19 hectares, it offers a haven of tranquility and a life of complete privacy within its landscaped park. It overlooks a coastal river that winds its way through 15 municipalities and is considered one of Brittany’s most beautiful river landscapes. For a long time, it played a key role in supplying towns from the sea. Today, this river is a place for walks and exploration, but in the past, the woods and forests were harvested, and fishing was an important industry here. Émile Zola stayed in this area, renowned for its beautiful estates, and described it as a “beautiful region.” The property is ideally located, close to a major city with all its amenities and a TGV station, and not far from the beaches of southern Finistère. The elongated château is distinguished by its elegant and imposing architecture. It is flanked by circular towers at the corners, as well as watchtowers topped with hipped roofs. The facades are accentuated by a projecting central section that serves as both a gable and a pavilion, creating a harmonious interplay of volumes. The ornamentation, inspired by the Neo-Gothic style, is evident in numerous decorative elements: mullioned windows, dormers topped with gables adorned with trefoils, slender pinnacles, and carved brackets. Together, these elements give the building a romantic and medieval appearance, characteristic of the 19th-century Gothic Revival. The château welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall leading to two sumptuous rooms with hardwood floors and wood paneling—one measuring 57 sqm (the former living room) and the other 53 sqm (the former dining room)—featuring majestic fireplaces and 3.70m-high ceilings. A 24 sqm kitchen opens onto the rear of the property and is accessible via the staircase hall or the former dining room. Its remarkable central staircase, featuring a spiral banister, leads to the 3 suites (ranging from 33 sqm to 48 sqm) and the 8 bedrooms (ranging from 15 sqm to 26 sqm), all equipped with their own bathroom or shower room. The property boasts a stunning view of the coastal river, with its ever-changing light as the tides ebb and flow, and enjoys approximately 600 meters of wooded riverbank. Not to mention the possibility of mooring right at the property’s doorstep. Outbuildings : Designed in the 19th century in the style of large estates, several outbuildings complete the estate : - Stables that underscored the owner’s place among the social elite in 1875. This building included the carriage houses, the large and small stables, the stalls, the haylofts, and the former grooms’ quarters. Today, they have been converted into 9 small studios, offering a total of approximately 300 sqm of living space. - A 26 sqm orangery, - A walled vegetable garden covering 2,090 sqm, featuring a heated swimming pool measuring 12m by 6m with a depth ranging from 1m to 2.80m, - Former chicken coops and nurseries. - A dog kennel - A caretaker’s house of approximately 65 sqm located at the entrance to the property. The land area is 47.2 acres. Half of the land consists of hardwood, softwood, and coppice forests. The rest is made up of meadows and landscaped parkland. There are three springs that originate on the property.
