A specially designed house with a swimming pool and 3,500m² of grounds, nestled near the town of Montfort-l'Amaury in France’s Yvelines department next to Paris. The property, which covers around 3,500m², lies just outside the village. A lane runs alongside the property and leads to the forest. The plot is located on the edge of this forest. A hedge and a sliding gate hide the house, which is surrounded by a tree-dotted garden. The dwelling is set back from the road by around 20 metres. Just in front of the main door, there is an outdoor entrance area where several vehicles can be parked. A car shelter stands in this space too. The house dates back to 1976. It is built of pale ashlar. Its slate roof was entirely renovated in 2022. A vast terrace of exotic timber extends on the house’s west side. A heated swimming pool sits in this terrace. The pool is eight metres long and four metres wide and is fitted with a counter-current system. The terrace looks down at a sloping lawn. This commanding position underlines the impression of space on the property. And the garden is not at all overlooked, which also underlines the sense of space here.

A 19th-century manor house, with a modern extension and landscaped garden, on a plot of more than 2 000 m² in the old town of Bagneux . Four minutes on foot from the main square of the old town of Bagneux, the main residence, part of the municipality's protected built heritage, has stood on a walled plot of more than 2 000 m² since 1843. The floor tiles and parquet flooring, the high ceilings, the mouldings and the views over the large, well-kept garden and the protected landscaped area make this a unique residence. Since the early 2000s, a modern, flat-roofed extension, inspired by the Brutalist style, has been added, creating an aesthetic contrast. On the garden level, on either side of a through corridor, are found the living areas: a double, three-way reception room, with a French window providing access to the garden, and a comfortable dining room, visually linked to the kitchen by a large, custom-made glass wall. All rooms open onto the greenery. In the modern section, two comfortable, bright bedrooms, each with its own shower room and separate toilet, occupy the main level. The basement, semi-underground and lit by basement window wells, contains two large rooms, currently used as offices or libraries. The first floor of the old house, accessed by an oak spiral staircase, has three bedrooms. One of these, measuring around 15 m², leads to a room with a window that has been converted into a spacious wardrobe. The second, which is large (around 17 m²) is used as an office and the third is a small bedroom measuring around 9 m². The bedrooms are next to a bathroom and a separate toilet. A trapdoor in the ceiling provides access, via a retractable staircase, to the vast attic space under the tiled, hip roof, which was renovated and insulated in 2004. Finally, the old house has an underground level that takes up its entire floor area. In addition to a large vaulted cellar, there is a laundry room and a workshop housing the boiler room. The property, surrounded by stone walls lined with a belt of trees and shrubs, can be accessed from two sides, each opening onto a gate. A semi-private driveway running alongside the plot also provides parking space for several vehicles.

A millstone house in a quiet residential street on the Saint-Antoine plateau in Chesnay on the edge of Versailles. Built in 1908 on an almost 670 m² plot, of which around 560 m² is garden, this south-facing house is located in a quiet, residential street on the Plateau Saint-Antoine. Behind the low wall topped by a metal fence that protects it from prying eyes, the 'meulière' sits in pride of place in the centre of its grounds, surrounded by a bed of gravel. The stone walls, with three floors over a basement, are strewn with ivy and rosebushes and topped with a tiled roof with eaves, a Jacobean dormer window and a chimney.

A stately dwelling with its orangery and ornamental ponds on 3,000-m² grounds, in the middle of a village, 45 kilometres from Paris. Ideally located near the village centre, the property, surrounded by a landscaped garden of approximately 3,000 m², was gradually constructed over the course of the 20th century. Owing its neoclassical style to passionate connoisseurs who were inspired by ancient Greco-Roman architecture, the dwelling is made up of a main central building whose rectangular shape is flanked by outbuildings on each of its gable ends as well as a small pavilion. Built near the road, its main façade looks southward, while in the back the dwelling overlooks a garden with an orangery, in need of a renovation, as well as two ornamental ponds.

A group of Renaissance-era buildings, renovated into guest accommodations, with a swimming pool and one-hectare grounds bordered by a river, 1.5 hours from Paris. It is impossible to pass through the gate’s two brick pillars without noticing their sculpted lace-like stone pinnacles, vestiges of the property’s past splendour. Overlooking the countryside, an impressive circular tower, originally from the late 15th century and rebuilt in the 19th century in brick, is topped with stone machicolations and a slate pepperpot roof, while two additional towers can also be found on the property: a hexagonal one and a smaller circular one. As for the former staff quarters, now converted into guest rooms and caretaker’s accommodations, they are accessible via the grounds’ many pathways and were once connected to the chateau itself, which no longer exists today, whereas the property’s chapel has been transformed into the main dwelling. Featuring homogenous architecture, typical of the late Gothic period and a precursor to the Renaissance, its brick walls are cadenced by stone window/door surrounds topped with ogee arches, small-paned doors and windows, some of which are mullioned, as well as quoins, which highlight the buildings’ edges and slate rooftops. Last, but not least, a covered swimming pool is located in front of the main dwelling and extends the view towards the grounds, enclosed by walls, fencing and a river on one side.

A high-ceilinged Parisian apartment bathed in natural light in a former belle époque workshop in the French capital’s 16th arrondissement. The edifice stands out for its pale brickwork facade with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The entrance door is set in a surround of blue enamelled ceramic made by the famous French ceramist Émile Müller. This surround is embellished with ceramic tiles with floral and foliage motifs in an art nouveau style and is crowned with a lion’s head. Beyond the entrance door, there is a hallway with a staircase that displays an astonishing ceramic frieze – a listed work in the local land use plan. It is a tall frieze of Persian archers made by Émile Müller. Enamelled bricks adorn the walls and faithfully reflect a frieze from the Palace of Darius in Susa, Iran. Wooden steps lead up to the second floor. Beyond the apartment’s door, there is a vast 120m² space with a five-metre-high ceiling. The main part is an open-plan space bathed in an abundance of natural light from a huge glazed east-facing wall of large panes set in wooden frames. This extensive glazing is the architectural centrepiece of this former workshop. It looks down at an inner court in which the colourful elevations of the neighbouring buildings display a picture that changes over the course of the day. Wood strip flooring of solid oak with a patina of time extends across all the rooms. Its honey tinge and broad planks invite your gaze to explore the apartment. The pure-white walls underline the true sizes of the rooms and reflect the light. The layout respects the workshop’s original fluidity and keeps its character while organising distinct purposes for the different spaces. Beside the huge glazed wall, there is a workspace. The centre is taken up by a relaxation area with contemporary furniture. And a kitchen lies beneath a mezzanine. You reach this mezzanine via a white staircase with geometric lines, to the left of the entrance hall. An open-plan reading room lies up on this mezzanine and a landing connects to the main bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub, a lavatory and a window. One last flight of stairs takes you up to a second bedroom in the roof space.

A neo-Palladian chateau with outhouses, set in nine hectares of lawns and woods near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and 35 kilometres from the French capital. Railings painted bottle green form a concave shape that is centred upon a wrought-iron gate leading into the property, where a remarkable neoclassical chateau built in 1846 stands proudly. A vast lush lawn extends immediately beyond the gate. The chateau lies further on. Straight to the right of the wrought-iron gate there is a pedestrian gate in the same style as the main gate and a caretaker’s lodge made of brick and rubble stone. The chateau’s design is neo-Palladian. The magnificent edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The building is rectangular and made of dressed stone. All its elevations are coated with white rendering that has a slightly pink tint. A raised terrace and a series of evenly spaced columns form a portico at the top of four front steps. This portico leads to the chateau’s main entrance door. Four majestic Doric columns feature in this tetrastyle portico. A terrace lies above their capitals. This terrace is edged with an architrave and a finely crafted balustrade. Along the facade, 11 bays per floor offer sweeping views of the beautiful grounds in front of the chateau. The window ledges and their corbels are made of dressed stone. The windows are fitted with shutters, the pale blue tone of which brings out the edifice’s hues. A neoclassical pediment with three windows rises up in the middle of the facade, on the chateau’s top floor. A long row of Greek dentils underline the entablature, adding a light touch of elegance to the grand edifice. Dormers and skylights neatly punctuate the roof. The rear elevation has an architectural design that is similar to the facade. But here a distyle portico marks the entrance where a tetrastyle portico adorns the front. The chateau’s hipped slate roof is in perfect condition. Red-brick chimney stacks rise up from it. Beyond the chateau there is an annexe that looks like a grand country house. Work was carried out on the property in the late 19th century. During this phase, a farmhouse, an outbuilding and a dovecote were added in the property’s north-east corner. An outer wall encloses most of the grounds, where vast lush lawns extend, edged by broad-leaved trees. Archaeological remains may be buried beneath these grounds. The property is remarkably peaceful and soothing. Tranquillity reigns here.

An entirely renovated, 295-m² flat, in a neoclassical chateau, thirty minutes from Paris. Behind a wrought-iron gate and sheltered from view, the chateau stands proudly behind its contemporary-looking courtyard. According to archival records, in 1746, the estate was first bought by the farmer-general Marin de La Haye, before it was acquired in 1790, on the eve of the Revolution, by Madame de Saint-Sauvery, who built a house here, which would then be transformed in the middle of the 19th century into a chateau with an eclectic architectural style by the architect Cannissié, who added an Italian neo-Renaissance style chapel, connected to the central building via a gallery, and designed stables inspired by Swiss chalets. In 1873, an outdoor sitting area covered by a metal and glass truss frame was constructed next to the stables by the André et Fleury company of Neuilly-sur-Seine, while, in 1857, the estate was purchased by the two brothers of the industrialist Jules Laveissière, owner of the chateau at that time, who then carried out an in-depth renovation and replaced it with a neoclassical style edifice in 1902. Lastly, in the 1990s, a four-storey, L-shaped building was attached to the back of the plaster-coated brick chateau, the central building of which is topped with a long-span gable roof and flanked by two protruding wings, which are, in turn, crowned with long-span hipped roofs. In addition, the central building is extended by a forepart on the ground floor topped with a terrace, as are the two side pavilions located on either corner. As for the flat, it occupies the first two levels on the chateau’s western side and faces the garden and ornamental pond, while the commonhold property, set within immense grounds of 1.5 hectares, includes three buildings in total: the chateau, the stables and the recent neoclassical-style wing.

An elegant 19th-century manor house with outbuildings and 11 hectares of grounds, 25 kilometres east of Fontainebleau. A long drive lined with hundred-year-old plane trees leads up to the property, where it arrives in perfect alignment with an oblong stone pond, surrounded here and there by several flights of steps, which are echoed a little further away by those ascending to the stoop in front of the main entrance. The residence seems to be tucked away in the heart of 11-hectare grounds, mainly made up of woodland, beyond which fields stretch out. The latter are cultivated by a neighbouring farm and house some constructions belonging to the estate’s outbuildings.
