In Normandy, 15 km from Bayeux, a 18th-century château listed as a historical monument, within a 60-hectare estate of land, woods, and groves. Before the entrance to the village of Vaubadon, hidden behind a dense hedge, an avenue lined with a triple row of lime trees, grassed on either side, stretches out in a slow perspective that introduces the estate. It leads to the wrought iron gate, at which lies the honor court, preceded by moats. Around it, various elements of the property are organized: the walled vegetable garden and the gardener's house, the pond, the tennis court, and then the outbuildings, established around a large central courtyard. At the back, the park, listed as a historical monument, unfolds its lines to a vast pond bordered by rhododendrons. This, more than a simple embellishment, marks a transition with the surrounding countryside, like a passage between a designed landscape and nature left to a freer expression. The regularity of the openings, the height of the roofs, and the clarity of the composition characterize the ensemble of buildings. The château features a façade exposed to the southeast, facing the courtyard, whose regular order and harmonious proportions certify its classical character. Raised over two levels under the roof and resting on a semi-buried ground floor, it is organized around a central structuring body, extended by volumes added in the 19th century. The slate roofs, punctuated by dormer windows and high chimney stacks, as well as four pavilions topped with higher roofs, rhythm the silhouette and establish the presence of the residence in the landscape. This clarity of composition, the alliance between symmetry, order, and decor, earned the château its listing as a historical monument in 2012.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A listed 17th-century house with guesthouses and a garden designed by the famous landscape architect Jacques Wirtz, 10 minutes from Normandy's Côte d'Albâtre coastline. Just outside the village, a broad wooden gate and paved drive lead to a vast space. Two guesthouses and a garage stand on one side. The main dwelling and its extension stand on the other side. The grand house is typical of noble Norman dwellings from the mid-17th century. South-facing and rectangular in shape, it has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the tall roof space. The building is crowned with a hipped slate roof with six dormers. The elevations are made of brick. Red brickwork forms the quoins, cornices and window and door surrounds. The facade has five bays. On one side, there is a 19th-century brickwork extension. It has a two-level section with a three-slope roof, followed by a single-storey wing with a roof space. This wing houses a swimming pool.

Wirtz is known for his work on two Parisian gardens: the Jardin du Carrousel garden in front of the Louvre Museum and the garden of the Élysée Palace. The property’s garden extends beyond the buildings, which it links together with paved paths, some of which are shaded. This magnificent outdoor space offers striking views.

Perched in the hills of the Vire Valley, with 22 hectares of land, a listed chateau from the 13th and 15th centuries. On the outskirts of the city, a long tarmac driveway lined with horse chestnut trees descends towards the property’s entrance. Gradually, the landscape becomes less and less urban and the lawns on either side of the road become more expansive. The road leads to a wrought-iron gate supported by two solid schist rubble columns, extended on either side by low walls topped with fencing. Nearby, a chapel stands on a hill. On one side, the driveway runs along the length of an outbuilding, which is used as a garage, before reaching a square tower. The chateau stands on a promontory, with, as its background, the woods, which blanket the flank of the small valley and fields that border the Vire River. The fortress was built along the edge of a cliff overhanging the river by about twenty metres. Impregnable to the north, it was protected to the south by walls, towers and a drawbridge, which were destroyed in the 19th century. Today, the edifice is composed of the vestiges of an imposing construction and a wing built at a right angle to the body of the main building. Constructed out of schist rubble stone, it was built over three levels, including the attic space. Hipped dormer windows punctuate the slate roof on the side facing the Vire River. To the south, the front entrance is framed by columns, which support a straight lintel and triangular pediment. A three-sided, slightly projecting, tower houses the interior spiral staircase. It is topped with a triangular dormer with an oval oculus. A second round tower with a pepperpot turret roof is attached to a corner of the building. The mullion and cross-window surrounds are in granite ashlar stone. On the exterior corner of the two main buildings, a square extension with a slate hipped roof was built over two stories.
