On the edge of the capital, in the quiet of Gentilly, a light and spacious house of 455 m² with terrace and garden . The immaculate façade of the house is punctuated here and there by climbing plants and touches of ultramarine blue: from the railings to the gate and the small, discreet earthenware friezes. Entirely surrounded by walls and lush vegetation, the property is completely hidden from prying eyes and without a vis-à-vis. In all, the house has five floors and 455 m² of living space. The secure gate gives access to the garage on one side, and on the other to the plant-rich and slab-paved path that leads directly to the 76.50 m² lawned garden. The tour of the house begins on the garden floor, where a flight of stairs leads to the high glass-clad blue entrance door. This level, completely independent from the rest of the house, is built around a 25 m² studio with parquet floor, kitchen, shower room and guest toilet. The entire space is lit by a large window reminiscent of old school buildings. From there, a few steps lead to the ground floor and a large kitchen of almost 80 m². Fully equipped, it offers plenty of storage space and a dining area for six people. The kitchen adjoins the open-plan, long dining room, which is large enough to seat at least eight guests. With its large windows, dark parquet flooring and flat white and grey paintwork, this room has a resolutely contemporary look. In one corner, a wood and metal quarter turn staircase leads to the upper level, which features a huge 77 m² living room with light parquet flooring and a modern fireplace. It opens onto a conservatory with glass roofs, which provide plenty of light throughout the day and all year round. To one side, a double French window opens onto the 13m² wooden terrace, large enough to accommodate deckchairs for a relaxing moment. At the back of the room, a white wooden staircase leads up to the second floor. This level consists of the master bedroom of 16 m² with a 14 m² sports room and a bathroom. Further on, the office could easily be converted into an extra bedroom or a walk-in wardrobe. The top floor of the house, under the roof, includes two bedrooms of 16 and 17m² respectively with parquet floors and a shower room. They are illuminated by roof windows and skylights. The basement features a spacious garage, a laundry room, a closet and a wine cellar.

In Portes-en-Ré, a contemporary villa inspired by the island's architecture, over 300 m², with its swimming pool and gym. Behind a long white wall, the property gradually reveals itself in the spirit of the large Rêtaise houses. A gate opens onto a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door in the wall leads to a covered porch that marks the entrance. A welcoming garden consists of bamboo, palm trees, grasses, and Mediterranean plants. Beyond that, the villa appears in fragments and is organized into several volumes arranged around various successive patios. The old Rêtaise houses often resulted from the gradual aggregation of buildings related to the activities of salt-makers or winemakers. Living spaces, salt warehouses, or old cellars were connected by courtyards protected from the wind. The property adopts this logic in a contemporary interpretation. The lime-rendered facades, dark shutters, and canal tile roofs reflect the architectural codes of the island, while large glass openings establish a fluid relationship with the outdoors. The entire project, in its volumes as well as its interior arrangements, was designed by architect Jeanne Dumont. The materials assert the character of the building: brick floors laid in a dark pattern on the ground floor, oak flooring with small strips on the upper level, fine carpentry, wooden paneled ceilings, and often custom-made furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An old stone house and shop nestled in one of France’s most beautiful villages with a view of a rocky cirque. This fine dwelling is tucked away among the round and square towers that grace the village’s many country houses, which also feature quaint dovecotes – some genuine, others false. The house is inconspicuous, its architecture unpretentious. Its shape softens the angular forms of the surrounding medieval structures and the sturdy remains of the fortified old town. The building was probably made in the fifteenth or sixteenth century as a modest home. It captures much of this castle village’s unique history. Its simplicity makes it stands out from Autoire’s other houses. Unlike other dwellings in the village, this property does not feature towers, dovecotes, mullioned windows, half-timbering and corbels. Instead, it features straight lines and the stout design of the old block-like houses with upper floors that you find along the Dordogne valley. There are two entrance doors leading into the building. One is on the west side. You enter it at the garden level of the dwelling, at the end of a small garden with a terrace that enjoys a splendid corner spot with a clear, breathtaking view of the nearby limestone cliffs of Autoire’s spectacular cirque. The other one is on the north side. You enter it via a courtyard – a former threshing area – at the ground level. This expanse takes you to a large entrance into two shops next to each other, in front of which chairs and tables are placed for customers. At the back of the courtyard stands a fine modern extension of timber boards that runs along part of the facade made of Quercy stone, where a semibasement with a workshop, boiler room and storage space lies.

20 minutes from Rennes, by its private pond, a vast renovated manor with a swimming pool and outbuildings. By its pond, the large 16th-century manor is surrounded by a wooded park of more than 1 hectare, crossed by canals and waterfalls. The renovated exterior is complemented by a contemporary interior, where a large indoor swimming pool connects to sauna and hammam areas. The main living space, with nearly 400 m² of habitable space, is complemented by an independent apartment of approximately 80 m², a gîte of about 40 m², and garage-workshops of nearly 220 m². After taking a large wooded driveway and walking along the canal where ducks and water hens frolic, the residence reveals itself in front of a vast grassy parterre, surrounded by large trees. The main building is made of granite and covered with a slate roof with hips. It consists of a central body raised over two levels, with window frames made of cut stone, flanked by two towers topped with pavilion roofs. Adjacent to the main residence, a long house from the 19th century and its wooden extensions house the independent apartment and the garage-workshop. At a right angle, a granite outbuilding with a slate roof houses the gîte and its garage. At the back of the manor, the park extends, featuring a golf practice area and terraces located by the pond, which is itself surrounded by weeping willows and white poplars.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An unusual village house with swimming pool and garden in the heart of the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn department. The house, mainly built in the 16th century on the heights of the hilltop village, is reached via cobbled medieval alleyways. A driveway leads from the entrance gate to a patio enhancing the south-eastern main facade at right angles. Four different roofs with local tiles, one- or two-pitched, clearly set apart the various sections of this atypical building. The property has a floor area of approx. 350 m² extending over three stories. A contemporary 1980s extension, fronted by a wood and glass conservatory, adjoins the first main section, which is the original part of the house and abuts the old tower. All the facades are of old, rough-hewn stone, some combined with brick, some rendered and some half-timbered, a reminder of the many different historical periods and the unique character of the local architecture. The windows are arranged symmetrically or irregularly depending on the facade and vary widely in size. They are mainly rectangular or arched. Finally, a terrace extends from the garden level, which features a swimming pool. The wooded, lawned grounds to the rear of the building are enclosed by walls.

20 minutes to the east of Tours, a former outbuilding, transformed into a pleasant family home with a garden. An iron gate opens from the street onto a gravelled parking area that leads up to the courtyard in front of the entrance to the house on one side and to the garden at the foot of the slope on the other side. This former outbuilding has been fully transformed and was enhanced by an extension in 2005. While outside only the brick window frames and a part of the building pay witness to its past, inside the partially exposed stone walls are well-preserved and combine with modern architecture. It has been designed as a family home, with six bedrooms ready to welcome new occupants, large west-facing windows and a vast reception room that opens onto the garden. There are three cellars in the hill slope and a flight of steps leads to a wooded area at its summit.
