Less than 10 km from Fontainebleau, 1 hour from Paris, an imposing royal château from the 16th century, with outbuildings, greenhouses, a park, and 60 hectares of woods. The château traces its origins to the mid-16th century, on the day when, during a hunt, Francis I discovered the site. He then had the château built and developed the vineyard. A local legend tells that the king had his mistress installed in the neighboring riverside village. She was notified of his presence by a large fire lit high above the estate. Henry IV and his favorite Gabrielle d'Estrées stayed there for five years at the end of the 16th century. From the 17th to the end of the 19th century, the château was successively owned by princesses and counts. It also experienced an industrial period, marked in the 18th century by the construction of a brickworks, probably related to the building of the estate's stables. At the end of the 19th century, modernization and the arrival of the railway line changed the organization of the estate. The winemaking activity was then abandoned in favor of a public establishment (ERP level 5). The main château develops nearly 2,300 m² of floor space, of which about 1,800 m² is habitable. It is spread over three levels, a half-level, and attics of approximately 900 m² on the ground. It includes 19 bedrooms, an apartment, and a professional kitchen accessible by vehicle, several laundries, and reception rooms. Although the château has undergone transformations, more than half of the second level retains its original features. The ceiling height, close to 5 m, on the east side, the restored oak flooring, marble fireplaces, cornices, and carpentry still allow one to imagine the balls and feasts that were held there. The estate also includes five outbuildings to restore, for nearly 1,700 m² of additional habitable space: the stables of approximately 700 m², a director's house of nearly 250 m², a recent outbuilding in continuity with the château of more than 100 m², and a caretaker's house of about 70 m².This description has been automatically translated from French.

A chateau with medieval origins and wooded grounds, built in the early Renaissance and nestled 1 hour and 30 minutes south-west of Paris. Once you have gone through the property’s main entrance gate, the chateau appears before you, standing out for its Renaissance style. In the inner court, the property is demarcated by the remains of a division of the chateau into two parts. Indeed, the chateau has gone through different historical periods up to the present day, apart from its western section, which has disappeared. The edifice has kept its hexagonal adjoining tower, which has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The main side of this tower is made of rubble stone with rendering and quoins of limestone ashlar. A huge door of solid wood leads inside this tower. This door is fitted in a stone surround with a slightly arched top that bears the remains of a coat of arms – a characteristic of the late 15th century. Each level of the tower has stone-mullioned cross windows. The main section is positioned to the east of the hexagonal tower. It is similar in design to the tower. The court-side elevation is coated with rendering that leaves the rubble stonework slightly exposed. The garden-side elevation is completely rendered. Limestone ashlar forms the quoins and carved limestone forms the surrounds around the doors and the many stone-mullioned cross windows that punctuate the elevations. On the court side, a conservatory lies beside the entrance door. A flight of stone steps leads up to the entrance door. Above this door, there is a basket-handle arch crowned with a finely sculpted pinnacle. In this stone arch, there is a badge-shaped remnant of a coat of arms that was once displayed proudly here. This coat of arms was doubtless that of the chateau’s founders. In the garden-facing elevation, there is another entrance door of solid wood. A basket-handle arch also crowns this door. In the north-east corner of the main section, there is a round tower. It is the only remaining tower of the chateau’s four original round towers. The stonework of this tower’s base was recently restored. The edifice is crowned with a slate roof of two long slopes, punctuated with gabled dormers. Lastly, beside the chateau, there are outbuildings along the edge of the property. The wooded grounds are enclosed with walls and fences.

In the Aude area, near to the Canal du Midi, an Italian style 18th century mansion with outbuildings in 8 hectares of grounds. A drive that runs past the outbuildings adjacent to the main building leads up to the mansion. All the buildings are set out in a continual straight line, though the mansion is one storey higher than its outbuildings. It was built in 1710 under the supervision of an Italian architect and has floor-space of approximately 1,200 m². It has three storeys and its main façade is split into nine bays. The two façades, facing east and west, boast remarkably simple lines, punctuated by the perfect symmetry of the openings, which are mostly rectangular and topped with fanlight windows on the lower two levels, surrounded by stone frames and equipped with louvred shutters. The hipped roof made of half-round terracotta tiles is surrounded by a cornice which is echoed in two moulded belt courses marking each level. The outbuildings, which are all rectangular and topped with gabled roofs or a half-hipped roof, stand adjacent to the mansion, mostly on its left-hand side. They are made up of three apartments, a hangar and a barn. Lastly, the 8-hectare grounds stretch out behind the mansion up to the Canal du Midi and can be reached through a wicket gate. There are gravelled patios on either side of the buildings and there is also a swimming pool in front and slightly to the side of the mansion.

Backed by a wooded hill, with panoramic views of the Ardèche Mountains, a 16th-century Provençal castle in an 8-hectare estate. Access to the estate from the road is ensured by a large porch with stone pillars, a tiled roof, and a painted wooden gate, which opens onto a pebbled and landscaped inner courtyard. On the right side, a small French garden adorned with white roses adds refinement to the building. It is a typical castle of the 16th-century Provençal style, restored to preserve its authentic Ardèche character. Raised over two stories, one of which is convertible under the eaves, and oriented north-south, the residence features sober facades in dressed stone coated with lime, straight bays framed in white and fitted with painted wooden shutters in green, and finally, roofs with two or four panes of canal tiles bordered by three rows of tile overhangs. It is flanked by concrete terraces on the south and west. The eastern wing, connected to the castle by its northeast corner, houses a caretaker's accommodation and a loft with an orangery on two levels. Forming an L-shaped building extended by a paved terrace to the south, it displays, like the main body, the architectural characteristics typical of Provençal houses: plastered stone facades and country tiles with one or two slopes. The wing, once a stable for horses, was indeed built at the same time as the castle and later transformed into an orangery. The built complex is surrounded by a 1-hectare park, which includes trimmed hedges, a Japanese pond, a pool with views over the Payre valley, and an old tennis court. Traversed by hiking trails, a forest of oaks borders it, providing an ideal setting for nature lovers. For over 20 years, after about ten years of work, the castle has become a guesthouse with seven rooms, five of which are equipped for hosting, with private amenities. Its interior spaces blend antique furniture, delicate bedspreads, and lime-painted walls, which enhance the charm of the living areas. All roofs and the insulation of the upper floor were redone a few years ago. All windows are double-glazed.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A listed castle, once belonging to the Joyeuse counts, in 7 ha of parklands 2½ hours from Paris and Brussels in a region known as Argonne-Ardennaise. The geographic location of Grandpré castle, standing on a rocky spur, was already an advantage in medieval times. In a dominant position, looking out over the Argonne region towards the roads through the Champagne countryside, it was one of the border areas essential to the young kingdom of France. The county, divided since the Crusades, was gradually reunited until it fell into the hands of a powerful character, Louis-de-Joyeuse, chamberlain at the court of Louis XII. Supporter of the Catholic League, his heir, Claude-de-Joyeuse, amassed spoils and fortune in the 17th century, thus enabling him to embellish the estate and leave his mark on the surrounding buildings: the church and other buildings necessary to the inhabitants of the county. Distinguishing themselves from many of their contemporaries, the Joyeuse counts made their mark through military careers (Marshals of France and Lieutenant-Generals of the king’s armies) and followed Louis XIV. It was during 1685 that major works were carried out (large appartements, stables, etc.) and financed courtesy of the titles and offices acquired by members of the Joyeuses family following their military successes during the Wars of Spanish Succession around 1700. Marriages arranged with the large families in the Champagne region did the rest. However, despite a well-founded land heritage, lineage strategies proved too fragile and the estate gradually became divided in the 18th century. Furthermore, the estate was little occupied prior to the fall of the monarchy in 1792. It was requisitioned by General-Dumouriez, a famous republican hero following the Valmy victory against the Austrians. He settled his general quarters there prior to it becoming a hospital set up for the revolutionary armies. Despite a token show of renovation under the First Empire and during the Restoration era, a lack of constant upkeep led to a fire that started in the gatehouse and the destruction of the castle in 1834. Only one pavilion was restored, it now forms the current castle. An outstanding collection of outbuildings align the street going up the hill. A monumental pavilion, in a central recess, provides access to the outbuilding courtyard. The castle and its parklands are then reached by passing under the semi-circular arched porchway of the gatehouse.

A 13th and 16th century listed historical monument residence bordering the river and on 2.5 hectares of meadows in north-east Lot-et-Garonne . The discreet, almost mysterious residence is hidden behind a copse of trees, barely visible from the main road. The tarmac drive becomes a stony track as it winds its way between the rows of trees. After passing a pond and a bamboo hedge on the right, followed by the first evidence of the property in the form of two impressive stone pillars, the main driveway leads to two wrought-iron pillars supporting lanterns and to the dwelling. A few well-arranged flagstones guide visitors towards the entrance. The three-storey residence is set near to oak trees and a chestnut tree. To the east, the meadow bordering the garden provides some distance from a few neighbouring houses. On the south side, a meadow stretches as far as the banks of the river Lot below.

An elegant, 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in Vendee's lowland bocage countryside on the outskirts of La-Roche-sur-Yon. A central, 200 m long alleyway, lined with oak trees, crosses 10 hectares of fields before reaching the main entrance. This is guarded by a hunting lodge and tall metal gates. A perimeter wall encloses the property. The 3 hectares of parklands, gardens landscaped in 1893 and redesigned in 2002, are planted with several trees over a hundred years old, including sequoia, ash, oak and lime trees. They also have numerous camellia, azalea and boxwood bushes. Alleyways lead to the various outbuildings of the chateau, some of which have been so well renovated that they are able to accommodate up to 40 guests. The property’s two swimming pools, one heated indoor pool and one outdoor pool, make it possible to take relaxing dips from April through until October. An orangery is but an invitation to read and relax. On the sides and in front of the chateau are the old wash-house, the bread oven and the moat, all bearing witness to its history.

Located 2.5 hours from Paris, in the land of Talleyrand, an entirely restored manor, its heated pool, and its garden. A poplar-lined driveway leads to the manor, surrounded by meadows and woods. Dated from the 15th century, it showcases the characteristic silhouette of typical Berry houses. The building rises over two levels, under a high roof of flat tiles. On one side, a square tower with a four-sloped roof has been recently erected, in keeping with the spirit of the main structure. On the opposite corner, a round tower topped with a pepper pot is original. A veranda connects the main body to a lower returning wing. The courtyard facade, plastered, is pierced with small window panes. A bay window with angled panes precedes the central door. The whole, currently operated as guest rooms, has been carefully restored. The pool adjoins a pavilion with a living room and kitchen, as well as a summer dining room. The park of about 1.3 hectares opens up to the surrounding countryside.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Close to the Bay of Somme, a 17th-century castle, listed as a historic monument, extended by a park with outbuildings, woods, and an orchard. Far from all prying eyes and slightly elevated, the castle with its classical architecture, situated at the edge of a forest, overlooks a landscape of fields and rabbit warrens, beyond the roofs of the hamlet. All around, a country garden consisting of expanses of lawn and ornamental trees forms a green setting. A fully restored pigeon house from the 15th century stands on the main lawn with its polygonal silhouette. Several outbuildings add to the estate: adjacent service buildings extend from the house, and at the far end of the park, down below, there is an old farm, now transformed into a distillery, as well as a caretaker's house that allows for separate occupation. The park, about 3 hectares, surrounds the buildings. It includes vast lawns followed by an orchard, primarily planted with apple trees, and a wooded area.This description has been automatically translated from French.

On the banks of the Rance, between Dinan and Dinard, a manor from the 16th and 18th centuries listed as a historical monument, its outbuildings, and its chapel. From a departmental road, a first gateway flanked by granite pillars accesses the estate, which extends over more than 30 hectares. A long avenue of oaks leads after more than 300 meters to a second gate, pierced in a stone wall enclosure, which protects the manor and the ancillary buildings, including a chapel. It is possible to reach a longhouse as well as part of the outbuildings independently, without passing through the lordly residence. Facing south, the latter overlooks the Rance. In Renaissance style, the facade indicates a construction from the mid-16th century. The building is notably distinguished by its cut-off staircase tower, topped by a square volume covered with a four-pitched slate roof supported by granite corbels. Terracotta finials and decorative mitrons adorn the two-pitched roof of the house. Reconfigurations and extensions date back to the 18th century, with the creation of two lower wings, surmounted by dormers with a hipped roof. Finally, a small, more recent building to the east houses a kitchen. The whole is built of sandstone and granite rubble, partially covered with a light render. The chains and the surrounds of the openings are made of cut granite stone. To the north, partially adjoining the building, the outbuildings border an enclosed area, a remnant of an old vegetable garden and a courtyard. Beyond, the longhouse was rebuilt in the 19th century to replace an old farmstead. The lands are surrounded by meadows and woods as well as by the river below, without neighbors or nuisances.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Anjou, a neo-Gothic castle and its numerous outbuildings in a 17-hectare English park. From the road, a long access path crosses a wood, then along the park of the estate, leading to, on one side, the courtyard of the outbuildings and on the other, the castle. Built in the second half of the 19th century, the building was designed by the famous Angevin architect René Hodé, who was directly inspired by his neighboring masterpiece in Challain-la-Potherie. Constructed of slate rubble and tuffeau, the whole structure rises four levels on a rectangular plan. Two towers and two corbels mark the corners of the residence. At the center of the back facade, another tower, not serving a purpose, houses a staircase. The roofs are slate, with four slopes for the main wing and a pepperpot shape for the corner towers and corbels. Vast meadows dotted with trees extend at the foot of the facades. The outbuildings are organized around a landscaped square courtyard. An old walled vegetable garden adjoins a body of water.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Between Angers and Nantes, in a village with a TER station, there is a castle with two large dependencies converted into offices set in 7 hectares of parkland. From the road, a long driveway crosses a part of the park in front of the castle and leads to a group of dependencies, one of which is directly connected to the main residence. The property is also accessible from the back via a path that starts from the village. All the buildings are well positioned in the middle of more than 7 hectares of park. Built in the 19th century of tuffeau stone on a hard stone base, the castle has four levels, including one basement and one attics. It is topped with a four-sided slate roof, bordered by a cornice with brackets and pierced at the front and the back with neo-Gothic inspired dormers, including an imposing central dormer. Tuffeau pepper pots rest on an ornate base and mark each corner of the castle. The facades are enriched with molded string courses and sculpted decorations in the shape of X under the first floor windows. All the windows are perfectly symmetrical, and on the front facade, facing south, the entrance door is surmounted by a balcony supported by two rams with griffin paws and a wrought iron railing. The castle underwent significant restoration work from 2006 to 2008.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century chateau and its outbuildings, on 10-hectare grounds in the natural and historical region of Haut-Anjou. Standing in the middle of the property and surrounded by expansive meadows, the main dwelling is extended to the east by several outbuildings, a vegetable garden and aviaries, which are all easily accessible thanks to a second entrance located on this side of the property. With its front door on its southern side, the dwelling, built with an eclectic architectural style typical of the middle of the 19th century, was constructed in 1853. Commissioned by the Wolfcatcher royal in a region abounding with game and ideal for hunting, it is flanked on either side by two tall gable ends linked by a central building, while its asymmetrical exteriors were built out of ashlar tuffeau stone, sculpted in some places and highlighted with red brick in others. As for its slate multi-pitched roof, it is punctuated by brick chimneys, tuffeau stone dormer windows and a small bell tower, while in the middle of the main façade, the front door is accessible via wide slate steps, typical of the region.

A manor with holiday cottages, reception rooms, all fully renovated, in landscaped grounds, 15 minutes from Blois, in the middle of the countryside. This vast complex of buildings, set in an enclosed park covering 8 hectares, has recently undergone a complete and high-quality restoration. The Renaissance manor, which is dominated by its staircase tower, has retained its original character. Set perpendicularly, there is a long series of outbuildings housing three holiday cottages. A barn has been converted into a reception room, as has a nearby modern, glazed greenhouse with a roof. Two other holiday cottages complete the considerable accommodation capacity of this property. The swimming pool to the rear is set in a fenced in area. Slightly further away, exhibition spaces have been created in glazed metal modules. They form a modern cloister, which could easily be repurposed, particularly for receptions. The grounds are partially enclosed behind high walls and towers, of which the walls are listed as a historical monument. The wooded grounds include shaded trails.

A late 19th-century chateau with its grounds and farmland over 140 hectares, between Châtellerault and Poitiers. From a small road, a long drive, lined with plane trees, traverses the property’s farmland before reaching the chateau and its enclosed grounds. Although the impressive edifice only dates back to the late 19th century, the estate itself has been occupied since the Middle Ages. With plaster-coated exteriors cadenced by arched windows on the ground floor and rectangular ones upstairs, all surrounded by ashlar stone, its jagged two or three-sided slate rooftops are punctuated by dormer windows, while a farm with outbuildings and two small dwellings are located behind the chateau. Last, but not least, fields surround the chateau on all sides and woods seal off the property to the north.

A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a pool and 7.5 hectares of grounds facing the historical 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.

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.

Located 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris, at the edge of a village in the small Sologne region, there is a family château, surrounded by its outbuildings and a park of about 14 hectares. For 300 years, the château was part of the former fief of a family that built the current building in 1828. In 1855, the mayor undertook excavations on the site and uncovered Gallo-Roman remains, pottery, and a large quantity of coins dating from the 1st to the 4th centuries.At the entrance of the village, a small country road opens onto a long avenue of plane trees, which leads to a path covered by a forest canopy that gradually leads to the park planted with tall trees, at the center of which stands the château. A circular gravelled area allows vehicles to park.The building rises three levels high, with a main body flanked by two lateral pavilions. Facing east, the façade is animated by small-paned windows, equipped with solid wood shutters on the ground floor and wooden blinds on the first floor. The entrance door is distinguished by a glazed transom window. The roof is slate, and each pavilion, topped with a quadrilobate dormer, highlights the corner chain work through its projection. The château was built with stones that come from Burgundy. The façade and the gutters were restored in 1998.On the side, the outbuildings and the inner courtyard appear. A little away, a few beehives are visible. The park is mainly planted with multi-centennial trees, complemented by an orchard and vast meadows filled with wildflowers, bordered by a first-category river. The château overlooks the entire estate.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the Bay of Somme, 2 hours from Paris, a 18th-century castle of 460 m² and its 9-hectare park. The castle was built in 1790 for Pierre Fanneau de la Horie, lord of La Touche, an engineer to the King responsible for the development of ports on the Picard coast and in the Bay of Somme. He acquired the Lordship of Lanchères in 1774, the pre-existing building having been completely destroyed. The architect of this 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 that was located on the hill of Chaillot. The canals and the park were designed and planted around the same time. A gate opens onto a large circular grassy parterre, planted with trimmed yews. A path, also circular, allows for vehicle parking in front of the castle. Two pavilions, serving as a garage and a storage room, 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 a workshop, and a swimming pond. An old farmhouse located to the east adjoins the vegetative labyrinth. The estate includes a 9-hectare park, with a French formal garden (Mérimée base), orchard, pastures, woods, and canals communicating with the marsh network of Lanchères and Cayeux-sur-Mer.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A villa with art nouveau decor, outbuildings and 4.5 hectares of grounds, nestled in a calm environment between Lyon, Dijon and Geneva. The secluded estate lies in an undisturbed setting and is accessible via two 800-metre long driveways through the woods. The manor house, built at the beginning of the last century, overlooks the plain, a patchwork of pastures, a river and woods as far as the eye can see, while, behind the dwelling, equestrian outbuildings contain a stable, a covered riding ring, a workshop and a caretaker's cottage.
