RIVER CHARM AND HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL ON THE BANKS OF THE AUBE MANOR HOUSE NEAR CHAUMONT On the banks of the River Aube, a former 15th-century mill, converted into a country house in the 18th century, boasts architecture that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Light-coloured stone, balanced volumes and outbuildings form a complex structured around a park of around eight hectares. Water frames the views and creates a constant dialogue between the building and nature. The interior layout reveals a structure suited to various uses, encompassing existing living spaces, areas dedicated to hospitality and spaces waiting to be reimagined. AN INTERIOR STEEPED IN HISTORY In La Ferté-sur-Aube, the walls preserve the memory of the original mill, evident in the depth of the spaces and the flow of the rooms. The living areas flow seamlessly into one another, accommodating both daily life and larger gatherings. The bedrooms, including several suites, form part of this continuity. One part of the house offers the privacy of residential use, whilst another lends itself to accommodation. Other spaces, still in the making, provide a foundation for future development, hinting at additional fittings depending on the projects envisaged. Further along, certain spaces reveal a more distinct purpose. A former professional kitchen, designed to orchestrate shared moments, evokes the past presence of renowned chefs. Not far away, a reception room continues this theme, allowing one to imagine gatherings, celebrations or communal occasions. More discreet, the mill's former machinery stands as a unique witness. It introduces an almost scenographic dimension, where the site's technical heritage can become a backdrop for more unexpected experiences or uses. The site suggests as much as it structures, leaving room for gradual appropriation, somewhere between habitation and project. THE PARK AS A REFUGE Outside, the estate stretches across meadows, mature trees and a natural riverside. The park, covering around eight hectares, forms an open landscape, ideal for a variety of uses, from simple leisure to outdoor hospitality activities. The outbuildings, already partially restored, are arranged around the manor house and extend its presence. Barns, former dormitories and ancillary buildings form a structured ensemble, offering additional spaces to be utilised as required. A tennis court completes the ensemble and contributes to the estate's welcoming atmosphere. Amidst stone, water and vegetation, the site maintains a balanced rhythm, allowing for a harmonious blend of private life and hospitality. A TERRITORY TO EXPLORE At the heart of a still-unspoilt region, between the vineyards of Champagne and the great forests of northern Burgundy, La Ferté-sur-Aube sets a slower, almost suspended pace. In the immediate vicinity, the National Forest Park encompasses one of the largest protected forest areas in Western Europe, offering an immersion in unspoilt nature. The landscapes alternate between deep forests and the hillsides of Champagne. Just a few minutes away, the Côte des Bar invites you to discover a lesser-known vineyard, whilst Burgundy extends the horizon. Let's imagine a day that begins in the tranquillity of the surrounding woods. Morning light streams through the rooms, accompanying a shared breakfast. Later, the roads lead to the vineyards, the cellars open, and the traditions are passed on. The afternoon brings us back to the estate. Our pace slows in the park or the neighbouring woods, as we observe and breathe in the air. In the evening, the spaces come alive again; a table is set, the place buzzes with activity, giving way to more intimate moments or larger gatherings. In this spirit, the place welcomes as much as it inspires. It becomes the setting for stays, gatherings or celebrations, underpinned by a direct relationship between nature, architecture and use. AGENCY'S VIEW This manor house in Laferté-sur-Aube offers a clear distinction between living space and project space. A former mill converted into a residence, it is situated in a sought-after setting between Champagne and Burgundy, in the immediate vicinity of a preserved natural area. Its layout, enhanced by spaces dedicated to hospitality, gastronomy and more unique uses, allows for a variety of projects, ranging from residential to hospitality, within a fluid and evolving approach to the site.
