Castle Lectoure (32)
A chateau dating back to 1839 with large outhouses and 7 5 hectares of grounds, a few minutes from the town of Lectoure in France’s Gers department. A track leading to the property leaves a small country road on the hillside. A discreet spring covered with stones marks the entrance to the grounds. The chateau’s facade appears at the end of a drive shaded by tall, old trees. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy and calm. It looks out over a valley, in isolation from the rest of the world. You can admire several stunning vistas from the property. These views stretch to the town of Lectoure, perched on its rocky outcrop. The chateau is built on a large gravel terrace with a round ornamental stone pond. The building is rectangular and has an adjoining tower in the middle of its west elevation. It has four flours that can be seen from its east side, lower down. The top floor is a loft space. The edifice offers a liveable floor area of around 800m², spread between the ground floor and the first floor, which can be seen from the south driveway. The chateau was built in 1805. It is made of dressed stone, rendered with a beige lime coating. Its facade reflects the architectural traits of its era: 14 rectangular openings are arranged symmetrically around a central bay that stands out for its dressed stone and its double door that forms the main entrance. The quoins, cornices and door and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed stone. The building is crowned with a zinc and slate mansard roof with hipped ends, punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows on its south side, three on its north side, one on its east side and another one on its west side. The grounds are dotted with age-old trees and vast clearings. This wonderful outdoor space includes an isolated swimming pool, a dovecote, an old washing place and an Italian-style garden. The style of this Italian garden goes well with the chateau’s north elevation and brings out its elegance. At a lower level, there are two large rectangular outbuildings made of rubble stone. They face each other and can be reached via a separate drive on one side.

Castle Angers (49)
A remarkable listed castle with its chapel, outbuildings and 70 hectares of grounds bordering a river in Anjou. All the buildings are grouped together in the centre of the undivided estate, at the end of a driveway that extends for almost 400 m under a canopy of bicentennial plane trees. It leads to a stone bridge across the moat and on to a gatehouse with four-pitched roof, marking the entrance to the fortress. You then have to pass through a carriage gate, once protected by a portcullis and a drawbridge, or through a small pedestrian gate on one side, to discover the castle's main courtyard, where the central lawn is adorned with sixteen box topiaries. At the back, the main section of the dwelling is flanked by a wing set at right angles. On the other side stands a chapel. To the south, there is a garden of almost 1 ha, criss-crossed by paths and planted with numerous fruit trees. It also includes a fishpond, which is thought to have once been a 'longue paume' (long tennis) ground. To the north, a former farmyard is bordered by outbuildings that originally served as a defensive enclosure. It has been converted into a garden with a central fountain. The complex is surrounded by a moat filled with water. The property is traversed by numerous tracks providing access to the woods, river and meadows. In a single lot, it is bordered on one of its four sides by a navigable river. The grounds comprise parkland, orchards and moats (4 ha), alleys (2.8 ha), a pond (0.9 ha), open meadows (48 ha) undergoing reforestation - 4,500 trees were planted in 2007, woodland (11.6 ha) including oak, pine and poplar trees, and tenanted farmland (3.7 ha). The castle and its surrounding buildings, the moat, the gardens and most of the surrounding avenues are all listed. The slate roofs either have two or four pitches or are pepperpot-shaped; the walls are of rendered or pointed rubble masonry; the facade and roof openings are mostly rectilinear, some with mullions, some are arched.

Castle Plateau de Puyricard-La Trévaresse - Aix-en-Provence (13)
The castle Brillanne is located on the outskirts of Aix-En-Provence, on the gently sloping hillsides of the Puyricard plateau, well exposed to the sun and sheltered from the mistral, interspersed with small valleys which descend towards the Touloubre. Originally, La Brillanne was a construction whose traces date back to the 15th century. At the end of the 19th century, a floor and four square towers were added to the property at each corner, which gave it the name of castle, as well as a slate roof. Several successive alterations have gradually modified the original building, thus helping to give it its current architectural style, while retaining the classic exterior and interior bastide elements. Today, the property, built on a park of approximately 2.7 hectares, offers a real estate complex of nearly 1750 m2 of buildings, composed of the Provencal castle entirely restored in 2018, three new contemporary villas, a farmhouse to renovate, a fen and numerous annexes, horse boxes and a garage for 12 vehicles. On the garden side, the estate has retained all of its adjoining outbuildings, its wells, boxwood paths, gravelled flowerbeds, a wood to the east of the mansion, a monumental entrance with a wrought iron gate, which unambiguously indicated the power and wealth of the masters of the place, ponds (fed by a natural spring coming down from the Trévaresse), a wash house , and fountains. The park has many century-old trees, including a vast and majestic avenue of plane trees. To complete the outdoor space, a swimming pool, with impressive dimensions and the look of a Provençal pool, is nestled on the south side, sheltered from all nuisances. The Provençal author René Borricand, in his book Château et bastides du Pays d'Aix, evokes the castle estate as follows: “A typical three-story facade, generously pierced with five windows to take advantage of the garden; a roof with four slopes decorated with genoises, cornices of tiles whose number of rows indicates the quality of the owner (three are a sign of nobility, the owners had the title of marquis) and towers at each corner. La Brillanne, a property made of rusticity and elegance, simplicity and refinement, to come and discover with your Michaël Zingraf agency, Christie’s International Real Estate.

Castle Blois (41)
A Neo-Louis XIII chateau dating from the late 19th century, with its outbuildings, set in 4 hectares of grounds between Blois and Amboise, around 200 km from Paris. A wrought iron gate leads into the property. Guarded and bordered by yew hedges, the impressive ironwork opens onto a stately driveway lined with centuries-old oak trees forming a thick screen of greenery. At first sight the chateau shows its full splendour: a large, projecting central section, stone balusters encircling the esplanade, a wing to the left and two to the right, one of which is slightly smaller. Next to the traditional Louis XIII-style building, there is a more modern extension. Built in 1898, some twenty years after the Republicans came to power, the chateau was commissioned by an officer whose family descended from a regiment of dragoons under the Ancien Régime and had prospered since their ennoblement under the First Empire. In the 20th century, the chateau enjoyed renewed splendour, although this was interrupted during the Occupation when it was requisitioned by the Germans. After D-Day and during the early days of the Liberation, American troops stayed here. During the French colonial wars, the chateau was inhabited by the mother of a famous writer. As part of the French government's 'civilising' mission, young Indochinese were brought here to learn French language and culture. Finally, in 1980, the chateau was bought by its current inhabitants. Major modernisation work was carried out, while taking care to preserve the original authenticity of the building erected towards the end of the 19th century. The chateau and its terrace, built on the highest hillside, dominate the vast landscape to the south. Protected by a canopy of fragrant greenery, the building sits at the heart of elegantly designed parklands. A gravel walkway surrounds the entire property. Beyond the fence, the nearby forest stretches as far as the eye can see. Finally, at the bottom of the highest part of the grounds, there is a former outbuilding that has been converted into a guest house. Here, the gently sloping parkland affords sweeping views of the surrounding area.

An 18th-century chateau with a secondary house, indoor and outdoor pools, and eight hectares of grounds with a stream, just over an hour from Paris by high-speed rail.

A large gate opens beneath a wrought-iron arch of spearheads that stand out against the sky. The chateau towers at the end a long driveway alongside which annexes lie. The drive leads up to the edifice’s front courtyard. Splendid grounds extend all around the chateau. Woods edge them. A stream snakes through the grounds and a canal with a washing place runs through them too. Bridges of stone, wrought iron and timber cross the stream. Stone benches dot the grounds.

Castle Troyes (10)
At the gates of Troyes, in the footsteps of Charles Perrault, a 16th and 18th-century chateau, listed as a historical monument, surrounded by moats on 12 5-hectare grounds. If it is possible to retrace the genealogy of the lords of this domain from 1222 up until 1688, there is little information on the edifice’s initial construction. Only an order made on 3 July 1585 with a quarry worker in Polisy regarding the delivery of two hundred Polisot stone blocks makes it possible to date the construction of the main building more precisely. Many lords succeeded one another over the years, but in the 17th century, Charles Perrault, a son-in-law of the owner, would make his own mark here when Jean de La Fontaine, Boileau, Voiture, Fontenelle and other members of the French Academy would gather here during the summer months. The property is discreetly located at the end of a residential neighbourhood. The group of buildings are situated around a main courtyard surrounded by moats with water, while the grounds extend over three of its sides with a tennis court. Remarkably designed, and from which six shady pathways spread out in a star-shaped pattern in all directions, are two outside dance floors, one of which is bathed in light, while the other, under a verdant canopy, is a little more shaded. From the street, a large pavilion opens onto the main courtyard via an entrance gate, which is preceded by a footbridge spanning the moats. To the right of the gate, there is the guardhouse building and, to the left, the outbuildings, supported by buttresses and bordered by a small tower. On the other side of the courtyard is the main Renaissance-era building, connected by an intermediary building to a half-timbered dwelling. At a right angle, a long classical wing from the 18th century is extended at the other end by two older bays and flanked at the rear by a small square corner tower with arrow slits. On the other side of the terreplein, past the polygonal dovecote, which abuts a swimming pool, the outbuildings that surrounded the courtyard have been entirely restored and converted for residential use with a swimming pool. Their back façades face a large canal that extends to the end of the grounds.

Castle San Giorgio della Richinvelda (Italy)
Pordenone. In the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia we offer the exclusive manor of Cosa Castle, which boasts a long and illustrious history of noble rule. Its origins date back to the 9th century, when a fortress was built for defensive purposes on the Tagliamento River. The castle, surrounded by a park of centuries-old trees, retains its original rectangular shape with 3 corner towers (the fourth was demolished during the Great War) and is surrounded by a large 12th-century wall. The historic main building consists of 3 floors: The ground floor of approximately 1,060 square metres and a height of 3.40 metres consists of a large storage area (it used to house a ‘wine museum’), toilets with anti-services and a thermal power station, an archive, an office in the south-east tower, a rustic kitchen and a dining room in the south-west tower. From this floor there is access to the ageing cellar, located approximately 1.5 metres below ground level. The first floor, or piano nobile, (a total of approximately 780 square metres and a height of 4.50 metres with exposed wooden beams), accessible among other things by the double external staircase, houses four halls frescoed by Friulian painter Mario Rabassi between 1989 and 1991; the images depicted have a close connection with both the wine context and the history of the building, in fact there are the coats of arms of the city and the families linked to the Castle together with allegorical images of grapes and wine. These halls, given their large capacity, are suitable for organising concerts, music and dance evenings, conferences, weddings, theme parties, exhibitions and more. The floors, with floor heating, are all covered with Venetian granite. There are also toilets with anti-services and a large uncovered terrace of about 280 square metres.

The second floor (also of approximately 780 square metres) is entirely destined as an attic in which the old wooden beams of the roof are still present, a room in the south-east tower and one in the south-west tower, from which, by climbing another floor, one can reach the ‘Belvedere Tower’. Finally, the north tower is entirely used as a service staircase connecting the three floors of the building. The castle is equipped with a heating system running on mains methane gas. Adjacent to the castle there is a large warehouse consisting of two above-ground floors for a total of over 500 square metres that also houses a storage room, bathroom, workshop and cellar (with double height) and an enclosed porch. The property is completed by an adjoining building on two floors of approx. 79 sq m each, intended for the caretaker's house, some storerooms and storerooms with a total area of approx. 64 sq m.
