A 16th-century village house, listed as a historic monument, with outbuildings, a main courtyard and gardens situated 30 minutes from Angers. Flanked by two pillars made of local stone, an entrance gate opens onto a gravel courtyard. The imposing silhouette of the manor house rises opposite, with a wing of outbuildings on one side and, on the other, the beginning of a garden that runs around the building. The manor house dates back to the 16th century, but its origins are older. This is evidenced by the walls of its north and south gables, extended by later, smaller-scale buildings. Built of rubble stone and lime-plastered, the main house is three storeys high, one of which is an attic. The roof is clad in Angers slate. At the centre of the front facade, a pentagonal tower conceals the entrance and a staircase, flanked on either side by four windows, two of which are mullioned. The door and window frames are adorned with prismatic mouldings and flamboyant friezes. A square tower at right angles adds interest to the rear facade. Converted into a farmhouse for over two centuries, the property was saved from ruin by the current occupants. The restoration work undertaken was carried out in accordance with best practices. The facades, roofs and two 15th-century chimneys have been listed as Historic Monuments since 1987.

A meeting between modernist architecture and the Lorraine horizon, an old aerodrome club house listed as a historical monument, designed by Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé. As one approaches the aerodrome, at the heart of a 3,000 m² grassy plot, a building conceived by Le Corbusier in the 1950s comes into view. Formerly the club house of the aerodrome where it was built, it stands out from the traditional buildings in the region due to its façades, which blend a light-colored plaster masonry with large glazed joinery, highlighted by a bright red frame. Natural light floods the interior spaces, revealing the architectural lines and opening views onto clear perspectives of 180°. The building was co-signed by Le Corbusier – a major architect and urban planner of the modernist movement, whose work is based on a search for just proportions and clarity of volumes – and the Lorraine designer-blacksmith Jean Prouvé. The latter was noted for his work combining steel and aluminum with particular precision in assembly, which lends an elegant functionality to the construction in question. The roof, made up of prefabricated aluminum elements, consists of two shells back to back, resting on a central gutter; a silhouette that evokes two airplane wings ready to take off, giving the whole structure an architectural identity where technical precision engages with aeronautical imagination. The building underwent rehabilitation in the early 2010s, based on the original plans of Le Corbusier to restore its stylistic coherence. The building is listed as a historical monument for its façades, roofs, supporting structures, and chimneys.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. The garden was designed by the famous Belgian landscape architect Jacques Wirtz in the early 2000s. 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.

An 18th century listed private mansion, wooded parkland, lodges and outbuildings, in the historic centre of a Burgundy town. The private mansion stands in a tree-lined square. A double carriage entrance opens onto a paved passageway covered with an antique carpet. The passageway leads to an inner courtyard, flanked by the two wings of the main dwelling and enclosed by an elegant listed wrought iron gate leading to the parkland. Planted with trees and flowers, it is criss-crossed by well-designed paths lined with stone benches and ancient statues, hidden in the lush vegetation. A stone well backs onto the property, which also boasts a heated swimming pool and two lodges with restored facades. Slightly set back, a timber-framed house and its greenhouse were once the caretaker's lodge.

A 15th and 16th-century manor house, listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and 12-hectare grounds in the Mayenne department. From the village, a small road leads to a private driveway up to the entrance porch, which opens onto a main courtyard. The driveway also extends behind the manor and provides access to two outbuildings located to the west. A third outbuilding encloses the courtyard to the east, near the entrance. Pastures spread out on either side of the driveway. One of them is continued to the north with the first part of an oak grove, which then unfolds towards the west. The manor’s courtyard is extended by a garden, which overlooks a small river. Two other pastures located on the other side are accessible via a bridge. Constructed partially over a basement level, the manor contains four floors, including two built into the roof space. Made out of stone and rubble and coated in plaster, its edifice is crowned with gabled slate roofs and stone rims, punctuated by dormer windows topped with sculpted ornaments. Stone mullioned windows cadence the façade and a double flight staircase leads to the front door. In the back, the body of the main building is flanked by a square tower with a tented roof, a staircase tower and a round tower with a pointed roof. To the east, a small two-storey, hipped slate roof building is attached to the square tower. A cellar, accessible from the outside, is located under a portion of the manor. Its walls are made out of small sandstone masonry, which could date to the 11th and 12th centuries. The manor’s façades and roof, as well as its eastern two-storey wing, are listed as historical monuments.

A renovated listed church and its 5,000 m² of grounds in a village 15 minutes from Poitiers. The church, designated 'basilica', stands out for its prominent position in the village. An avenue of plane trees marks the entrance to the grounds surrounding the edifice. Built of rendered limestone between 1884 and 1889, the church reflects the Medieval Revival architecture and other eclectic elements of a period marked by the influence of Viollet-le-Duc. It has a groundplan in the form of a Latin cross with a single nave. Its bell tower-porch, designed by the architect Alcide Boutaud, has an unfinished facade, known as a 'bonding facade', which lends it an almost Romanesque style, even though the structure adopts Gothic architectural references. Two metal spiral staircases flank the entrance and lead up to a balcony, where a large pointed-arch opening with double-glazing provides access to a fully restored organ. On either side of the nave, large galleries form a cloister which links the doorways to the chapels. Their entrances are embellished by two pointed arches and two attached pilasters. These galleries have been double-glazed and fitted with new-generation radiators. The entire basilica, including the sacristy, was included in the French National Heritage List by decree on 4 January 2011.

A neo-Gothic chateau, granted regional Historical Monument status, with nearly 5 ha of grounds, meadows & woods, on a hillside in the Loire Valley. On the edge of the Bercé public woodland and on the outskirts of a picturesque village with shops, the estate, set back and sheltered from view, is surrounded by hedges or old walls topped with metal railing. As for the property, it is laid out around the chateau, the latter of which is built up against the hillside and nestled within grounds that combine pastures, AOC vineyards and woods, while the edifice, built from 1908 to 1913 and recognised as a regional Historical Monument since 1984, is characteristic of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, very much in fashion among the aristocracy and the upper middle class at that time. With a floor area of approximately 275 m², it has four storeys including a garden level as well as one under the eaves, whereas its slate roofs are punctuated by many dormers, the latter of which were constructed out of tuffeau stone as were the chateau’s cornices, quoins and window/door surrounds. To the east and west, stone staircases, safeguarded by bannisters, provide access to an entrance hall and a kitchen, while a patio overlooking the garden skirts its western exterior. Featuring flint from the Loir River valley, which dialogues with sculpted tuffeau stone in order to recreate the aesthetics of a knightly manor, the chateau’s exterior architecture invokes the medieval repertory, with the systematic use of the Gothic arch, lancets and stained glass in order to provide plenty of light and a feeling of verticality. In addition, a pepperpot turret, supported by moulded corbels, abuts the dwelling and is topped with a slate candle-snuffer roof, whereas wide stone cross windows cadence the ground floor and geminated windows, topped with delicately sculpted Gothic arches, provide plenty of natural light for the upstairs level. Lastly, an openwork stone balustrade with an eye-catching quatrefoil motif creates a remarkable centrepiece for the chateau’s southern gable end.

A captivating 17th-century manor and its outbuildings, listed as Historical Monuments and in need of a complete restoration, on enclosed grounds of nearly 3.5 hectares, less than two hours from Paris, in the Eure department. This property includes several buildings dating from the late 16th century to the first half of the 17th century, which come together to create a coherent and aesthetically pleasing complex of edifices. In need of a complete restoration, the buildings, with the manor in the middle, are surrounded by immense grassy grounds, which are, in turn, encircled by living hedges and tall trees along their edges.

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.

In Normandy, 15 km from Bayeux, an 18th-century château registered as a historic monument, set in a 60-hectare estate of land, woods, and groves. Before entering the village of Vaubadon, hidden behind a dense hedge, an avenue lined with a triple row of lime trees, grassed on either side, stretches in a slow perspective that introduces the estate. It leads to the wrought-iron gate, at the end of which stands the courtyard, preceded by moats. Surrounding it are various elements of the property: the walled kitchen garden and the gardener's house, the pond, the tennis court, and then the outbuildings, arranged around a large central courtyard. At the back, the park, registered as a historic monument, unfolds its lines to a large pond bordered by rhododendrons. This pond, more than just a simple amenity, marks a transition to the surrounding countryside, like a passage between a designed landscape and nature allowed a freer expression. The regularity of the openings, the height of the roofs, and the clarity of the composition characterize the entire building. The château features a southeast-facing facade, oriented towards the courtyard, whose regular layout and harmonious proportions confirm its classical character. Elevated two stories under the attic and resting on a semi-buried garden level, it is organized around a central structuring body, extended by volumes added in the 19th century. The slate roofs, punctuated by dormers and tall chimney stacks, as well as four pavilions topped with higher roofs, help to rhythmically define the silhouette and affirm the presence of the dwelling in the landscape. This clarity of composition, the alliance between symmetry, order, and decor, earned the château its historic monument registration in 2012.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A historical flat, with 75 m² and two bedrooms, in a 17th-century building, not far from Bordeaux’s Great Bell. The flat is located within a national Historical Monument building, built in the late 17th century. The elaborate building, which was reorganised many times, is laid out around a central edifice facing the street, which is, in turn, supplemented by a small interior courtyard and an immense garden-courtyard bordered by a right-angle wing. As for its current façade, built in 1771 by the Laclotte brothers, upon the request of Joseph-Michel de Montaigne, it conceals the original buildings, constructed around 1697-1698 in all likelihood by the Roumilhac master masons. On the ground floor, a stately, open gallery features three rusticated stonework arches, topped with a wraparound balcony supported by corbels and safeguarded by a baluster guardrail. In addition, the private mansion also stands out thanks to its wide dog-legged half-turn staircase, the walls of which are cadenced by small niches, while the flat, with approximately 75 m² and two bedrooms, is located on the second and last floor of this breath-taking building.

An elegant 18th-century house listed as a historical monument on the banks of a millrace that joins the River Armançon in the charming town of Tonnerre in Burgundy. The grand house lies on the main street that runs through Tonnerre, near the medieval hospital Hôtel-Dieu de Tonnerre. An imposing doorway leads into a court. Its carriage door is opened with an iron mechanism that dates back to the time of construction. The property used to belong to sister of Charles d'Éon de Beaumont, a diplomat who served King Louis XV of France. The edifice has two symmetrical pavilions without a central section. The elevations and roofs, listed as a historical monument, were recently restored. The elevations are plain, rendered and punctuated with rectangular or arched small-paned windows. They are characteristic of the 18th century. The roofs have regional flat tiles, three or four slopes that gently flare outwards and arched stone dormers. They are especially characteristic of local architecture. Lastly, the garden, dotted with age-old plane trees, extends down to the banks of a millrace that joins the River Armançon. This backdrop offers the absolute calm of nature in the heart of a town.

A 12th-century medieval residence, listed as a historical monument, in the former capital of the old Vivarais province, on the banks of the River Rhône. Until the French Revolution, the property was the residence of rich owners, before accommodating the town hall for two centuries until 1947, when it was sold to private owners. The house underwent various alterations and restorations as the years passed by, particularly in 1563, 1855 and 1856. Today it has a rectangular layout made up of two parts linked by a central, stone, spiral staircase leading to the three upper floors that make up the edifice. The western façade, which overlooks the square, was transformed in the 17th century. This narrow section with two vertical rows of openings is the ‘public’ part of the house, facing the square. There are windows on each of its four levels. The façade is crowned by a moulded cornice and a stone balustrade behind which the roof is hidden. The southern façade is the house’s longest. It looks onto the street called Rue du Château leading to the episcopal district. A third of the wall has no windows and in the centre, the entrance door with a basket-handle arch is framed by moulded splaying. Directly above it, there are four windows with moulded frames dating from the Middle Ages, through which the spiral staircase is bathed in light. On the right-hand side of the façade, the windows with mostly moulded frames, above two bayonet-shaped drip stones following the slope of Rue du Château, allow the living rooms to be flooded with light. The eastern half of the façade still has traces of older openings. On the second floor, there is still a gemelled window whose central column is adorned with chevron fluting and whose chapters are carved with stylised acanthus leaves. Other Romanesque origin openings are still visible. Lastly, since the northern and eastern façades are secondary elevations, they have much less openings. A complete architectural study has been carried out (seen attachment in annex).

A chateau from the late 17th century, listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities on 18 hectares of grounds, near Sablé, between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments. Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side. With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone. Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur. In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax. The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.
