RENOVATED 18TH-CENTURY MILL, IN RIOZ On the outskirts of the small town of Rioz, set back from the centre in a preserved setting, this 18th-century mill is nestled within a landscape shaped by water and light. The living area rises above the inlet channel and the axis of the old wheel, now encased in glass, whilst the colourful spaces flow seamlessly across three levels. Outside, the grounds, traversed by the river, naturally extend this sensitive relationship with the local landscape. AN INTERIOR INSPIRED BY THE MILL'S HISTORY In Rioz, this mill, restored between 2013 and 2023, finds its balance in an environment shaped by the movement of water. The river runs alongside the property, crosses it and immediately reveals its structure, like a defining line around which the whole complex is organised. The ground floor accommodates the essential functions with precision, including the garage, laundry room, boiler room and technical areas, as well as the mill machinery directly connected to the supply canal, which has now been brought up to standard. The water rights, legally established, anchor the site in a rare continuity, hinting at the possibility of setting the wheel in motion once more. Upon entering, the spaciousness of the hall invites a moment of respite. A room now dedicated to sport fits discreetly within this space, whilst a staircase with a bold design leads naturally to the upper floors. A MODULAR INTERIOR FOR EVERYONE On the main floor, the layout is clearly organised around a central mezzanine. The living areas are situated on one side, open and airy, whilst the sleeping quarters are on the other, in a more intimate atmosphere. The living area, spanning over eighty square metres, forms a fluid sequence linking the kitchen, dining room, lounge and office space. The three-sided fireplace forms its heart, radiating a warm presence that extends out onto the south-facing terrace. Below, the axis of the old wheel, preserved under glass, imbues daily life with a unique depth, bridging memory and contemporary use. Three bedrooms are situated on this level, in the sleeping area, accompanied by a dressing room, a bathroom and a toilet, in a balanced layout. The top floor, fitted out in 2022, extends this concept with two additional bedrooms and their en-suite bathroom, offering a layout suited to multiple uses. Family, guests or plans to host visitors find a natural place here, in a house designed to evolve with its occupants. BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND FUNCTION The 5,848 m² plot unfolds around the mill in a composition where nature becomes an integral part of the living experience. The river runs through the property, flows towards a pond and shapes ever-changing views. Light accompanies every moment of the day, revealing in turn the materials, reflections and lines of the building. In keeping with this, the outdoor spaces extend the home's functionality. The steel-trough roof accommodates 240 m² of photovoltaic panels, whose output forms part of daily life whilst generating a significant annual income from the resale of electricity. Thermal comfort is provided by an Atlantic air-to-water heat pump, supplemented by reversible air conditioning on the top floor. In the immediate vicinity, Rioz offers a comprehensive living environment with shops, schools from nursery to secondary level, a medical centre and a leisure park; whilst Besançon, its TGV station and Vesoul remain accessible in under twenty-five minutes, placing the property in a location that is as practical as it is inspiring. AGENCY'S OPINION This mill asserts a unique identity, enhanced by the constant presence of water and a renovation carried out with consistency. The axis of the wheel visible beneath the living area, the layout across several levels and the five bedrooms open the way to varied uses, in tune with different lifestyles. The technical choices?from the water rights to the energy systems and recent upgrades?contribute to a well-managed whole, the quality of which is reflected in particularly low day-to-day running costs.

ART DECO ELEGANCE IN THE HEART OF AN URBAN GARDEN 1930S ART DECO HOUSE IN THE CENTRE OF VESOUL Some houses tell the story of an era with rare accuracy. This residence, built in 1930, is one of them. Its architecture bears the signature of architect Paul Giroud, a leading figure in regional architecture between the two world wars. Even today, it reveals the elegant rigour and clean lines characteristic of this period. Behind its structured façade, the rooms are harmoniously arranged. The old parquet floors complement the light Comblanchien stone, while the cherry and ash wood panelling creates a warm and refined atmosphere. Light floods through the rooms thanks to the large windows that punctuate the façades and accompany the volumes throughout the day. The wooded garden, vast and unexpected in the heart of the city, gives the property an almost private feel. In this sought-after residential environment, the property combines architecture, history and potential for development. A home for lovers of living heritage who appreciate the beauty of 20th-century architecture. AN INTERIOR IMPRINTED WITH THE ELEGANCE OF THE 1930S Behind its stone façade, the house reveals an interior where Art Deco architecture is expressed with consistency and precision. Built in 1930 by architect Paul Giroud, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and an active figure in regional architecture between the wars, the residence retains many characteristics of this period. The antique parquet floors feature delicate patterns, while the light Comblanchien stone elegantly highlights the circulation areas. Cherry and ash wood panelling adorns the walls and some of the built-in storage units, adding depth and warmth to the living spaces. The high ceilings and ironwork details are testament to the craftsmanship that gives the whole property a timeless atmosphere. Light flows freely thanks to the numerous windows that accompany the volumes and highlight the materials. The reception rooms are organised around a large living room where the generous proportions create an immediate feeling of space and fluidity. The Art Deco staircase, punctuated by an elegant wrought iron banister, is one of the most striking features of the house and structures the flow between the different levels. The clear and balanced interior layout allows for different ways of living in the space. It meets the needs of family life as well as a project combining home and professional activity. THE GARDEN, A RARE BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE HEART OF THE CITY At the rear of the property, the grounds feature a large wooded area, which is particularly rare for a house located in the centre of Vesoul. The century-old trees form a dense canopy that preserves the privacy of the property while allowing light to filter through. The open views offer an unexpected feeling of space in an urban environment. Throughout the seasons, the garden reveals different atmospheres. The first blooms accompany the return of sunny days and naturally extend the living spaces outdoors. Summer invites you to enjoy the light shade of the tall trees, while autumn highlights the lines of the house with golden hues. The terrace facing the garden then becomes a privileged place for shared moments or moments of calm. The property also stands out for its approximately 200-square-metre outbuilding, which houses an indoor swimming pool. Built in the 1970s by architect André Maisonnier, a former collaborator of Le Corbusier's studio, this construction introduces an unexpected dialogue between modern architecture and Art Deco heritage. The pool, accompanied by relaxation and service areas, opens up new possibilities for use and harmoniously completes the ensemble. VESOUL, BETWEEN URBAN HERITAGE AND NATURAL LANDSCAPES Located in the heart of Vesoul, the house benefits from a lively and pleasant urban environment. Shops, schools and everyday services are part of an accessible and vibrant urban fabric. This proximity enhances the residential quality of the property while allowing you to fully enjoy the pace and conviviality of the town centre. Vesoul has a rich history and an architectural heritage marked by different periods that today shape its identity. The old streets, characterful façades and lively squares make up an urban landscape where tradition dialogues with contemporary life. On the outskirts of the city, the natural landscapes offer many opportunities for escape. Lake Vaivre is a popular spot for water sports and walks, while the hills of the Cita plateau and the unspoilt areas of the Sabot de Frotey nature reserve bear witness to the environmental richness of the region. The region is also distinguished by the presence of major architectural sites, including the Ronchamp Chapel, an iconic work by Le Corbusier. Between city and nature, Vesoul offers a balanced living environment where heritage, culture and landscapes come together in harmony. AGENCY'S OPINION This 1930s Art Deco house sta

Besançon Franche-Comté TGV station is about ten minutes away. A HOME WITH ROOM FOR MORE The property is centered around a spacious courtyard, with old stone buildings, a tree-filled garden and generous spaces that offer plenty of possibilities for the future. This traditional Franche-Comté home brings together the character of the past and a way of living in the country that feels just as relevant today. Inside, nearly 155 m² of living space are arranged over three levels. Hardwood floors, period doors, fireplaces and time-worn materials create the warm, inviting feel of a family home. The surrounding outbuildings add another dimension to the property, providing the kind of space that can take on different uses as life and needs change. Outside, the garden completes the setting. The 1,727 m² property is dotted with trees, while the courtyard connects the various buildings and becomes a natural place to gather during the warmer months. A HOME MADE TO LAST The interior lends itself naturally to family life, with enough space to spend time together without giving up privacy. There are three bedrooms, including a primary suite, and two bathrooms. With the rooms spread across three levels, different areas of the house can serve different purposes, with more private spaces upstairs. The home's original character is found in the details: hardwood floors, preserved period doors and fireplaces that give individual rooms their identity.

It is a location that makes it easy to combine country life with everything beyond it: mornings in the garden, days in Besançon or a train to Paris, then evenings back among the trees, stone buildings and quiet surroundings of the Ognon Valley. Country living, without feeling cut off. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE What struck me most when I visited was just how many possibilities this property offers. The house itself is already welcoming and ready to live in, but once you see the courtyard, the garden and the size of the outbuildings, you realize you are getting much more than 155 m² of living space. I especially love the original timber framing, the stone walls and the large arched doorway. They give the property its distinctive Franche-Comté character. For me, this is a home you choose not only for what it is today, but also for what it could become in the years ahead.'

On the ground floor, the living room?featuring a wood-burning insert and exposed stone?creates a warm atmosphere, while the kitchen is perfect for everyday life. A wooden staircase leads to the three bedrooms upstairs. Outside, a terrace extends the living spaces into the garden.

Besançon and the Besançon Franche-Comté TGV station in Les Auxons are approximately thirty minutes away, based on information gathered during the visit. The layout of the two houses lends itself to intergenerational family living, where parents and children can spend time together while maintaining their privacy.

The independence of the dwellings also opens up opportunities for tourism, particularly for operating guesthouses or seasonal rentals, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. This is a way to bring this place to life while sharing the atmosphere of the Haut-Saône countryside. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?What catches my attention at the Domaine des Bruleux is the relationship between the two houses. Their independence offers true flexibility in use, while the terraces, pool, and spa invite people to gather. It's a place whose appeal lies as much in the connections it fosters as in the spaces it offers.' Charles Rième

Then, once through the gate, the view opens up onto the Citadel, situated along the axis, like a landmark around which everything is organised.

The reception terrace welcomes guests around a large table, an outdoor bar and a pizza oven. Conversations flow naturally here, with the city in view. The kota gathers people around the central fire. Beneath the wisteria, the shade becomes a refuge, dense and cool, filtering the views and revealing glimpses of the Citadel. The swimming pool is set within a sheltered, enveloping green setting. Sun loungers are positioned within this carefully controlled space, balancing privacy and the landscape. Further on, a relaxation area features an outdoor bed, suspended between sky and foliage.

The journey continues up to the higher levels, where the views open out even further. Every step reveals a new perspective on the place. A place where the outdoors fully shapes the way of living. AGENCY'S VIEW A property shaped by time, where the garden forms the very structure of the site. Facing the citadel, the terraces organise the various uses, with each space finding its rightful place.

A listed medieval chateau, redesigned in the Renaissance, chapel, school and workshop, set in nearly 3 hectares of grounds, 40 minutes from Besançon. On the outskirts of the village, overlooking the fields, the chateau occupies a central position within the estate, on the site of a former 11th-century fortified castle that no longer exists. The south-western section consists of a tower and an entrance porch, where traces of the former 15th-century drawbridge are still visible. The courtyard facade was built in 1570 for Antoine d’Oiselay by the architect Hugues Sambin; both of whom were local figures. A major renovation project carried out in the early 19th century by the architect Marnotte on behalf of the de Magnoncourt family gave the complex its current layout, notably involving the raising of the roof and the creation of new interior fittings. The murals in the reception room date back to the 1980s and were painted by pupils at an art school. The building has an L-shaped layout, with a round medieval tower to the south-west and a square tower to the north-east. An outbuilding is situated to the north and is connected to it via a vestibule on the lower level. The building, comprising six storeys, includes a semi-basement housing cellars and the former kitchens, as well as an attic on the top floor. Built in the 1970s, the three-storey annexe was intended to be a school. Its converted loft houses a former cinema.

Its cathedral-ceilinged living room, five bedrooms, saltwater pool, and generous spaces create a living environment where space and light are an integral part of daily life. SPACES BATHE IN LIGHT The living room serves as the heart of the home.

From the living areas, the view extends across the terrace, along the pool, and out to the neighboring fields. The separate kitchen, complete with a pantry, supports family life without breaking the connection to the living areas. A bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor allow for single-level living or for comfortably hosting loved ones. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and a bathroom are arranged around the mezzanine, which maintains a constant visual connection with the living area. A GARDEN OPENING ONTO THE COUNTRYSIDE This property in Besançon offers a true sense of continuity with its surroundings. The 3,282 m² enclosed lot offers sweeping views of the surrounding farmland while maintaining true privacy. The spacious terrace naturally extends the living areas toward the 10 x 5-meter saltwater pool. The various outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy summer days with meals on the terrace, swimming, and more peaceful moments under the garden's trees. The immediate proximity to the Chailluz Forest enhances this quality of life. Hiking trails, mountain bike routes, and natural areas become an extension of the property, while schools, shops, and downtown Besançon remain within easy reach. A HOME THAT GROWS WITH YOUR FAMILY Built in 1995, the house has been regularly maintained and recently upgraded with modern amenities. An air-to-water heat pump, a wood-burning stove installed in 2024, a thermodynamic water heater, and a 6 kWp solar panel system all contribute to its daily comfort. The double garage with automatic doors, the basement, storage areas, the attic, and the partially converted loft offer significant potential for expansion to meet a family's needs over time.

MANOR HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON Just a few minutes from Besançon, this historic property reveals behind its walls a rare ensemble comprising a 19th-century mansion, a renovated guest house, and a second detached house waiting to be reimagined. Set within over two hectares of wooded grounds, the stone facades, gravel paths, and lush vegetation create a place filled with tranquility, light, and the promise of a legacy. A WALLED PROPERTY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON From the cul-de-sac, the property appears discreetly behind its gates and century-old trees. The property immediately evokes a sense of space rarely found in the Greater Besançon area, nestled between unspoiled countryside and quick access to shops, schools, and major thoroughfares. The main house, built in the late 19th century, stands alongside a fully renovated guest house and a second detached building currently used for storage. The layout of the estate allows for the possibility of an extended family life, spaces for entertaining, or additional uses over time. Surrounding the buildings, the landscaped grounds unfold with gentle slopes, hedges, mature trees, and views of the surrounding nature. A deeply residential setting, designed to be lived in as much as to be enjoyed. INTERIORS BLENDING OLD-WORLD ELEGANCE WITH MODERN COMFORT The main house offers approximately 190 m² spread over three levels. The spaces retain the spirit of old bourgeois mansions: high ceilings, moldings, wood paneling, wall niches, solid hardwood floors, and a wooden staircase connecting the floors. Light floods the reception rooms and living areas, which open onto the greenery and surrounding natural landscapes. The separate kitchen, centered around a central island and marble countertops, extends this atmosphere of a family home lived in day to day. The original materials interact with more contemporary elements that have been discreetly integrated. Geothermal heating, double-glazed aluminum window frames, and technical systems provide a modern take on comfort without altering the home's identity. In addition, the guest house features a separate space spread over two levels, while the garages, carports, cellars, and workshops offer a multitude of possibilities. A PLACE TO LIVE, ENTERTAIN, AND GROW The uniqueness of this property lies as much in its location as in its layout. Few estates offer more than two hectares of private land just minutes from Besançon and the Auxons TGV station. The second detached house naturally opens the door to various projects: a family guesthouse, a professional space, a caretaker's home, or a future additional residence after renovation. The property maintains a sense of privacy without isolation, striking a particularly sought-after balance between urban life and the tranquility of nature. A property designed for those seeking more than just a house: a place to call home for the long term. AGENCY'S OPINION This property has a unique presence in the Besançon landscape. The grounds, the various buildings, and the architecture of the main house form a rare ensemble, capable of accommodating both a vibrant family life and a broader legacy project.

Haussmann-style apartment in Besançon Hidden from view at the back of an 18th-century mansion, this Haussmann-style apartment has a rare presence. Here, the city center feels intimate, almost hushed. The rooms are impressive without being overwhelming, the high ceilings set the tone, and the old parquet floors and fireplaces recall a time when architecture was as much about status as it was about lifestyle. Completely redesigned to meet contemporary needs, this space combines the restrained splendor of the past with the comfort of a high-quality renovation. An apartment with character, for those looking for more than just an address: a living experience. An interior shaped by history The apartment is organized as a series of living rooms, designed for both entertaining and privacy. The spacious and structured living areas offer a clear interpretation of the volumes, where each perspective finds its breathing space. The old floors, moldings, woodwork, and fireplaces interact with a contemporary, precise, and never ostentatious design. Natural light glides along the walls, highlighting architectural details and accompanying the rhythm of the day. Here, nothing is decorative by chance: each element contributes to a solemn yet warm atmosphere, where one can imagine both large gatherings and the calm of a chosen daily life. In the more intimate spaces, the bedrooms extend this feeling of seclusion and serenity. The flow of movement is fluid, designed for comfortable, uninterrupted living. The fully equipped kitchen has a modern, understated style that blends perfectly with the spirit of the place. A rare balance between heritage and practicality, without compromise. The backyard as a refuge Located at the back of the courtyard, the apartment enjoys a unique location: protected from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet anchored in its lively heart. This backyard, characteristic of Besançon's mansions, creates a precious distance from the street. Here, time is perceived differently, slower, more hushed. The views open onto the surrounding architecture and the Citadel, a discreet but constant reminder of the history of the place. Here, there is no spectacular garden, but a rare feeling of seclusion in the city center: that of living in a preserved space, originally designed to last. This location reinforces the feeling of exclusivity. The apartment does not reveal itself immediately; it is something to be discovered. This is a quality that has become precious, almost impossible to find, in a dense urban fabric. A world within reach Living here means embracing a demanding urban lifestyle. The historic center of Besançon unfolds all around, with its shops, cultural venues, squares, and institutions. The neighborhood offers a complete picture of the city: dynamic, rich in heritage, and deeply inhabited. Nearby, walks, cultural spaces, and places to live make for a fluid, unrestricted daily life. The Citadel, the quays, and the surrounding hills remind us that nature is never far away, even in the heart of the city. This area appeals to clients who are sensitive to history, architecture, and a certain idea of urban comfort: cultured, discreet, deeply rooted in its environment. The agency's opinion: This apartment perfectly embodies what we look for at Arrière-Cour: a confidential address, remarkable architecture, and a subtle balance between heritage and modernity. Its location in the rear courtyard of an 18th-century mansion makes it a rare find on the Besançon market. It is ideal for buyers looking for a property with character, steeped in history, but designed for a demanding contemporary lifestyle. A place of distinction, without ostentation.

FAMILY HOME WITH POOL IN BESANÇON Set in the elevated Montboucons neighborhood of Besançon, this family home is defined by its connection to the outdoors. Renovated in 2021, it features five bedrooms and a generous living space designed around the garden. Large glass doors open onto a cumaru wood terrace, the pool, and tree-filled grounds with a south-southeast exposure. Through the foliage, Besançon comes into view below. Inside and out feel naturally connected here, making the garden as much a part of everyday life as the rooms themselves. A LIVING SPACE DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY LIFE The ground floor is open and cohesive, with polished concrete flooring running throughout and setting off the stone wood-burning stove and understated kitchen. The kitchen island sits at the heart of the space. It is where mornings begin over coffee and where everyone naturally gathers as dinner is prepared at the end of the day. Beyond it, expansive glass doors fill the room with natural light and keep the garden, terrace, and pool constantly in sight. Once the doors are opened in summer, indoor and outdoor living become one. This level also includes a bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, a shower room, and a walk-in closet create a more private floor. A mezzanine adds a flexible space that can easily become a home office, reading area, or play space as the family's needs change. OUTDOOR LIVING, FROM TERRACE TO POOL Step outside and the cumaru terrace immediately extends the living space into the garden. Its warm brown tones soften the exterior and provide a natural setting around the pool. This is where the house comes into its own in warmer weather. Meals move outdoors and linger, children go back and forth between the garden and the pool, and evenings stretch into the last light of the day. The tree-filled grounds follow the gentle slope of Montboucons, creating changing sightlines through the property. Besançon appears between the trees, visible below without ever feeling close. Whether viewed from the terrace or from the pool, the city remains a distant presence beyond the foliage. The result is a garden that feels like another living space, changing character throughout the day and from season to season. A buried 10,000-liter rainwater collection tank helps with its upkeep. MONTBOUCONS: BESANÇON WITH A SENSE OF SPACE The setting offers an appealing balance: all the convenience of living in Besançon, combined with the openness of its higher ground. Schools, shops, and healthcare facilities are nearby, with Clinique Saint-Vincent, CHU Jean-Minjoz, and Polyclinique de Franche-Comté all just a few minutes away. Practical spaces are equally well considered. The basement includes a two-car garage, laundry room, storage, and a finished wine cellar, while a carport provides additional parking outside. Radiant floor heating serves the ground floor, and the upper level is equipped with reversible air conditioning. Yet these features are not what ultimately defines the home. Its character comes from the way the spaces flow, the abundance of natural light, and a garden that is always part of the view. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE ?What stands out to me is the balance this home offers. Besançon is right there when you need it, yet once you're home, there's a real sense of space and separation from the city. The living area flows naturally onto the terrace, pool, and garden, with views appearing through the trees and changing throughout the day. I can easily see a family making this home their own, especially because the spaces are flexible enough to adapt as their needs evolve over the years.' Sirine El Beggar

AN ELEGANTLY REIMAGINED APARTMENT IN BESANÇON On the second floor of a characterful building in Besançon's Chaprais neighborhood, this 95 m² apartment combines Haussmannian influences, natural light, and original period details to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Restored in 2015, it retains its original parquet floors, moldings, woodwork, fireplaces, and high ceilings. The spacious west-facing living and dining room opens onto a balcony, while two bedrooms and a versatile third room allow the layout to adapt to different needs and stages of life. A private cellar and attic provide additional space, in a neighborhood where shops, daycare, and schools are all within easy walking distance. CITY LIVING, THE CHAPRAIS WAY Some apartments reveal their character the moment you step inside. Here, it comes through in the high ceilings, finely crafted woodwork, original parquet floors, and natural light that changes as it moves through the rooms over the course of the day. The apartment occupies the second floor of a 19th-century stone building in the heart of Besançon's Chaprais neighborhood. Behind its recently restored façade, the building has an intimate feel, with just two apartments on each landing and three floors in all. At the rear, a courtyard creates a quieter, more secluded setting and reinforces the residential feel of the property. Much of daily life can be enjoyed on foot, with shops, supermarkets, daycare, and schools nearby in a lively and convenient neighborhood. PERIOD CHARACTER WITH A CONTEMPORARY TOUCH Fully renovated in 2015, the apartment spans approximately 95 m², with original features setting the tone throughout. Parquet floors, moldings and cornices, woodwork, fireplaces, original doors, and stained glass incorporated into the double-glazed windows keep the apartment's history very much present. Carefully chosen patterned wallpaper adds a contemporary counterpoint to these period details. At the heart of the apartment is the 36 m² living and dining room. Facing west, it brings both areas together in a generous space that extends through a French door onto a small balcony. As the afternoon unfolds, light moves across the parquet, highlighting the moldings, large built-in cupboards, and decorative details. The separate kitchen is fully fitted, with a layout that remains in keeping with the character of the apartment. Throughout the home, restored original cupboards blend seamlessly into the woodwork and form an integral part of the interior architecture. A LAYOUT THAT ADAPTS TO EVERYDAY LIFE A central hallway connects the rooms with an easy, natural flow. Two well-proportioned bedrooms measure 13 and 15 m², while a third room can evolve with changing needs, serving as a child's bedroom, home office, or dressing room. Between the two main bedrooms are a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet with a hand basin. A storage room on the landing provides additional storage, while a private cellar and attic, each approximately 15 m², offer further space. The building's former washhouse now serves as a spacious shared bicycle room, preserving a subtle connection to its past. An individual condensing gas boiler provides heating and hot water, while double-glazed wood-framed windows and mechanical ventilation complete the practical features. The condominium comprises eight owners, all of whom live in their apartments. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?What I love about this apartment is how naturally everything comes together, with every original detail seeming to be exactly where it belongs. The proportions, parquet floors, moldings, and woodwork give the rooms real depth, while the renovation, carried out with great care and elegance, allows the apartment to work beautifully for contemporary life. The west-facing living and dining room is probably the space that stays with you most: generous, bright, and full of life, it immediately makes you picture spending the end of the day here.'
