THE BADOVICI GRAY HOUSE, IN VÉZELAY Located in the historic heart of Vézelay, the Badovici Gray House is a discreet and unique retreat. This stone house, a true source of inspiration, was redesigned by Jean Badovici and Eileen Gray. It bears the mark of many artists, notably Le Corbusier, who worked on it in the 1930s. The property is laid out in an unconventional way, in direct harmony with the local landscape. A UNIQUE GETAWAY IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE Located in the center of Vézelay, the house is on Rue de l'Argenterie, a street off the beaten path that runs parallel to the main street. You are in the heart of the old village, in its most compact and intimate section. The basilica is less than a 3-minute walk away, while the main square and its restaurants are also within easy reach. Vézelay lives in tune with the seasons, with a lively summer atmosphere: a setting that is ideal for a second home as well as for a peaceful life throughout the year. From the windows and terraces, the view stretches far across the Vézelay vineyards, the terraced gardens, and the surrounding countryside. This hillside offers unobstructed views and soft light, without excessive heat in summer thanks to its sheltered exposure. AN ARCHITECT-DESIGNED HOME ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF MODERNISM In 1927, Jean Badovici purchased two small adjoining hovels on Rue de l'Argenterie, on the northern slope of the village. He joined them together and transformed them with the help of Eileen Gray. It was here, in Vézelay, that their collaboration took shape and deepened. The reworked openings, the integrated elements, and the office fitted out in the attic bear witness to the expertise they forged together in this village. Le Corbusier, a close friend of Badovici and a regular visitor to the house, wrote in *La Ville Radieuse* (1933): ?Everything is tiny, yet everything is grand. It is a setting on a human scale.' In 1936, Fernand Léger created a painting on the courtyard wall, now preserved at the Zervos Museum in Vézelay. Inspired by this, Le Corbusier in turn created his very first mural on a wall in the living room that same year, traces of which remain visible. This experiment convinced him. Badovici entertained frequently. Poets, artists, and writers frequented the house. Paul Éluard, who took refuge in Vézelay during the war, left behind an autographed poem, still visible in one of the bedrooms. A second poem, by Jean Follain, is also preserved in the house's living room. A SPACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN The property comprises two houses, each approximately 85 m² in size, spread over two levels, connected by a split-level interior courtyard that rises from Rue de l'Argenterie toward the second house on Rue des Écoles. Concrete, stone, and earth make up this intermediate space?both a passageway and a living area?where a flower garden would naturally find its place. The Badovici house features an attic of approximately 15 m², formerly the architect's office, identifiable from the street by the raised roof and its two vertical openings, to be converted as needed. A cellar, much older than the house itself, is ideal for storing wine. The space can be easily adapted to suit your needs without major renovations. AGENCY OPINION This house is ideal for a buyer with an appreciation for architecture and history. Its rarity stems from the convergence of several uncommon criteria: a central location in Vézelay, a documented and tangible history, a clear modernist identity, and real potential for appreciation.

Three authentic homes in a haven of nature. Country houses in the heart of the Morvan. On the wooded hills of the Morvan, within a small, unspoiled hamlet, lies a rare gem. Three stone buildings form a harmonious and independent ensemble, designed to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of a single family or multiple projects. In Saint-Martin-du-Puy, this peaceful country house offers a different vision of everyday life, one of rich silences, simple sharing, and a deep connection to the landscape. With its vast wooded grounds, south-facing swimming pool, and carefully renovated spaces, it embodies everything one expects from a second home near Paris: comfort, space, and a chance to disconnect... without losing touch with the rhythm of life. It is a property built to last, to inhabit, to pass on, and to entertain. Three houses, one soul. Behind the golden stone facades, each house seems to tell a different facet of the same story. In the largest house, generous volumes, antique beams, fireplaces, sculpted staircases, and noble materials create a warm and inviting haven. The patina of time is palpable, combined with the efficiency of a smart renovation. A high-end kitchen, discreet home automation, and spacious bedrooms: a restrained elegance designed to last. The two other buildings, more compact but equally refined, extend the spirit of the place with the same coherence. Perfect for welcoming family, friends, or guests, they form a cohesive and comfortable living space, designed for conviviality without sacrificing privacy. A house with a swimming pool in the Morvan region, where every space breathes light and comfort. A vibrant park, designed for sharing. Outside, nature echoes the architecture. A flat, wooded, and structured park unfolds over three hectares of meadow and greenery.

This rural estate, easily accessible from Paris, provides a vibrant setting for weekends, holidays, or those planning a life immersed in nature.

Here, in this corner of the Nièvre region, the Morvan Regional Natural Park unfolds its deep forests, hiking trails, and secluded valleys. Avallon and Corbigny are within easy reach, as are Paris and Lyon, accessible in just a few hours via major highways. This house with a swimming pool in the Morvan is thus situated in a rich and unspoiled region, both secluded and accessible, natural yet vibrant.

Two houses in the heart of Morvan Second home in Saint-Martin-du-Puy In a small hamlet overlooking the valley, this second home near Paris comprises two carefully renovated country houses. The old stonework, exposed beams, warm interiors, and large windows create an authentic setting, surrounded by greenery and light. The south-facing terraces extend the living areas towards a peaceful landscape, while the heated swimming pool and large wooded grounds invite you to enjoy a gentle lifestyle in tune with the seasons. Whether as a retreat or a family home, this property offers the opportunity to bring together family and friends, or to imagine a hospitality business in the spirit of the Morvan. Here, nature surrounds every moment, in an atmosphere of deep calm and refined simplicity. Two houses, one spirit of tranquility The two dwellings, separated by an old barn, have been renovated to preserve the character of the 19th-century buildings. Exposed stonework, terracotta tiles, beams, and custom woodwork: everywhere, authenticity is combined with contemporary comfort. The main house is organized around a large living room that opens onto the garden. The stove warms up winter evenings and the large French windows let in the morning light. The separate kitchen, furnished with handcrafted furniture, retains the atmosphere of a family home, both convivial and functional. The bedrooms, simple and peaceful, evoke a simple and inspired life. Several suites with bathrooms allow guests or relatives to stay in complete independence. The second house follows the same codes: warmth, space, light, the perfect place to entertain, for a workshop or for a rental activity already underway. A natural setting with a swimming pool and clearings The grounds, covering almost three hectares, alternate between open spaces, gentle meadows, and groves. Stone terraces follow one another, offering plenty of places to read, have lunch, or watch the sunset. The discreetly integrated outdoor swimming pool adds a touch of summer lightness. The vegetable garden, mature trees, dirt paths, and views of the surrounding nature invite you to enjoy outdoor living. The central barn, currently used for storage, could become a link between the two houses, a reception room, an artist's studio, a games room or additional guest accommodation. The convertible attic space offers further possibilities for other volumes and uses. The Morvan as a backdrop Located in a dominant position, in an isolated but inhabited environment, the hamlet offers a rare quality of life: calm, greenery, and unobstructed views of the forest and countryside. Just a few minutes away, the villages of the Morvan reveal their shops, markets, and trails. Avallon and Corbigny are within easy reach; Paris and Lyon are accessible in 2.5 hours. The lakes, forests, hiking trails, and nature park create a lively and authentic area, ideal for a quiet country home, a family retreat, or a nature-oriented tourist activity. Agency opinion This rare property, centered around a barn, offers exceptional potential: two renovated houses, a swimming pool, extensive grounds, and a preserved natural environment. It is an ideal property for a family wishing to share a vacation spot, or for a couple looking for a second home near Paris. The possibility of acquiring the third house in the hamlet would allow it to become the centerpiece: a unique project combining a nature retreat, conviviality, and tourism potential.
