Hugging the property’s natural slope, each floor in the dwelling is divided into several levels, connected by wooden railing and light-colour hardwood flooring, while the light circulates throughout the dwelling’s large rooms thanks to its many windows and glass doors, providing the whole with a warm and fluid environment, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment.

A more than 300-m² reception apartment, in a 19th-century mansion house, between Avenue Victor Hugo and the Bois de Boulogne. This private mansion, built in the late 19th century, boasts a classic and sober façade typical of the Haussmannian era. Made of ashlar, the edifice rises up above its sleeper wall of rusticated masonry. The walls of the upper floors are adorned with pilasters crowned by Ionic capitals, while the windows are underlined by sculpted bas-reliefs depicting abundance. After passing through the carriage gate, a sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux depicting a goat and 4 cupids welcomes visitors.

A complex of historical houses, 30 minutes from Paris, converted into rental apartments and commercial premises for lease. The complex can be seen from the street and stretches over a plot of more than 2,000-m². It is made up of four adjoining houses, set one after another. They can be reached via a gate opening onto the town’s main street as well as via a private lane. The houses are separate but all share the same architectural identity: they boast elegant façades in light-coloured cladding, adorned with red-painted joinery and half-timbering, and are topped by roofs made of tiles. The last house stands out thanks to its brickwork and a slate mansard roof. Decorative mouldings adorn the dormer windows and are underlined by a strip of patterned tiles. Lastly, the vast majority of the houses’ windowsills boast wrought-iron guard railings. Opposite the property, on the other side of the private lane, there is a right of way onto a plot of land which serves as the property’s garden and as a parking area for several vehicles.

Paris, Auteuil-sud, a family apartment with four bedrooms and its private garden of 30 m². Built in 1926, the real estate complex stands out for its sober architectural lines. The main entrance reveals an elegant, guarded, and secure hall. In contrast, a more discreet metal door, located in the pedestrian street, serves as a confidential access point. With an area of nearly 150 m², extended by a private garden of about 30 m², the apartment offers unique volumes. The living room, organized in two half-levels, creates a reception space of over 50 m² structured by a few wooden steps and a remarkable ceiling height, reaching up to 4 m. The layout creates smooth circulation and an almost scenographic perception of the spaces, which are naturally extended by the private garden, accessible at ground level. Isolated, it overlooks a pedestrian pathway and enjoys absolute calm, which is rare at such an address. Large openings flood the living room with abundant light. In the main entrance of the apartment, a gallery distributes all the rooms: an independent kitchen, guest toilets, and four bedrooms, two of which are exposed to the green spaces of the co-ownership, while the other two face the private garden. Three shower rooms complete the ensemble for added comfort. The whole exudes timeless elegance: a warm parquet floor, a fireplace framed by woodwork, doors adorned with mirrors, and above all, a custom oak library that spans an entire wall. It is possible to purchase a garage nearby in addition to the price.

A 19th-century house with 205 m² and four bedrooms, on the banks of Fanac Island, right outside of Paris. The property is located on the breath-taking Fanac Island, known for its picturesque landscape and connected to the Joinville Bridge via stairs or a lift. As for the dwelling, built on a plot of land of approximately 500 m², it is part of forty residences established on either side of the island’s two banks. Facing the small arm of the Marne River, the three-storey dwelling, with approximately 205 m², stands in the middle of a verdant property under the welcoming shade of the garden’s trees. Built around 1880, it was expanded according to standard practices by its current occupant, in accordance with the architectural style from that period as well as the premises’ inherent spirit. With seven rooms, it includes a living room, a kitchen giving on to the dining room, which is then extended by a patio, three bedrooms spread out over two floors, two studies as well as two bathrooms and three lavatories, while the exterior, listed as a historical monument on its eastern side, is cadenced by a number of windows and features delicate wrought-iron, pastel-colour pelmets as well as ornate ironwork, which highlights the dwelling’s eclectic “Belle Epoque” style.

A Parisian apartment renovated by an interior designer, nestled at the back of an edifice's calm inner court in the French capital's 1st arrondissement. The edifice’s plain facade reflects the classical Parisian architectural style of the 19th century. Its ashlar facing is remarkably well maintained. This facade is a token of the splendid building’s construction quality. The windows are spaced out evenly. They are fitted with wrought-iron guardrails with fine motifs that are typical of the edifice’s time of construction. The covered entrance, framed between two stone pilasters, leads into a paved inner court, which adds to the secrecy of this haven. The facade, which is timeless in style and impeccably maintained, echoes the calm, refined ambience of the apartment it hides inside. The apartment lies in the second building, at the back of a court dotted with plants. This secret haven of tranquillity is a rare asset in such a central district of Paris. A covered entrance takes you to the edifice. Beyond a gate, you get to a cosy open-air space where a lodge houses the letterboxes. A door that has an intercom and is fitted for security leads into the building. The apartment lies up on the first floor. You reach it via a staircase or a lift. The landing here connects to only two dwellings. The apartment offers an 88m² floor area. It was renovated by an interior designer in 2019. The delightful dwelling masterfully combines historical charm with modern touches. Right from the entrance hall and in all the other rooms, oak chevron parquet or oak strip flooring extends across the home. On the left, there is a shower room with a shower and lavatory. Just beyond it, there is a little room that could serve as an office or even as a small first bedroom. Straight ahead from the entrance hall, there is the second bedroom: the master bedroom – a haven of calm that looks out at the inner court. On the right, there is the lounge – the dwelling’s centrepiece. This splendid lounge has exposed ceiling beams and a working fireplace with a white marble mantel. In-built storage spaces and bookshelves line the walls. Beyond the lounge, there is a fitted kitchen. It blends into the apartment discreetly and harmoniously. On the left, a door leads into a third bedroom. It has an en-suite bathroom with white tiles and a black and white mosaic floor. This bathroom has a window and a lavatory. A fourth bedroom can also be reached from the lounge. It has its own private shower room and lavatory. The apartment’s well-designed layout would be perfect for a family, yet each occupant can enjoy their own privacy too.

An vast 18th century mansion and its neo-Romanesque indoor chapel and outbuildings in the Essonne valley, 35 km south-east of Paris . The present mansion was re-built in a classical 18th century style on the foundations of an older edifice around 1850. Past the entrance gate leading directly to the main courtyard with a central circular lawn, the mansion comes into view. At the rear of the mansion, parklands planted with centuries-old trees provide the backdrop for a both pastoral and elegant scene that stretches as far as the river. This four-storey mansion spans approximately 1,200 m². Its slate roof, which is in excellent condition, is dotted with bullseye windows. The edifice extends out on either side of a central south-east facing front section. This houses the main entrance, topped by a wrought iron balcony whose motifs are reminiscent of the Sun King's monogram. The balcony can be reached via French windows framed by a sculpted pediment. The upper part of the front section rests on four columns topped with capitals. On each side of the entrance, two carved stone sphinxes stand guard over the estate. Each wing has a row of five windows per level. On the ground floor, thanks to the dual aspect rooms, they connect the front and rear of the grounds. At the four corners of the mansion, four square towers emphasise the symmetry of the design. Each tower features windows richly decorated with carved shells and floral motifs in the Renaissance style. The façades of the towers are framed by slender columns crowned with finely crafted capitals. The north-west façade, facing the grounds, echoes the composition of the main façade. Its central avant-corps stands beneath a bullseye window framed by two imposing gable dormers. All of the façades, as well as the slate roof, have been carefully restored in keeping with their original architectural style.

An apartment on the top floor, with a roof terrace, renovated by a renowned architect, in the Marais district and on one of the oldest shopping streets in Paris. The apartment occupies the fifth and top floor of a small building typical of the Marias district. It has 64 m² of living space spread over two levels. It was designed by Italian architect Luciano Giorgi as a veritable movie set, playing subtly with the effects of light to create a unique atmosphere. The entrance opens into a 27-m² reception room, reminiscent of a film set, combining a lounge and dining room. A south-facing corner terrace, like a podium, overlooks the roofs of Paris. A sober and functional separate kitchen completes the first level, which also includes shower room with a washbasin and lavatory intended for guests. A floating staircase leads to the top floor which includes a master bedroom and an adjoining room that could be used as an office or walk-in wardrobe. A bathroom with a bath and washbasin is bathed in light through a skylight. There is sufficient space for a washing machine to be housed in the bathroom. Storage space can be found on the landing. The whiteness of the rooms is emphasised by many storage spaces and built-in cupboards of the same colour, while the exposed concrete floor enhances the modern appearance. This south-facing property is naturally bathed in light by the sunshine. Furthermore, the apartment can be purchased with its furniture, which is inspired by Italian design. Indeed, some pieces were designed by the architect himself.

An 18th-century mansion renovated as a hotel, with outbuildings, in 11-hectare wooded grounds boasting a pond, 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris. The estate comes into view at the end of one of the three avenues lined with hundred-year-old elm trees that lead to the grounds and main residence. In the inner courtyard, the property is demarcated by the historic perimeter as already indicated in 1708: “on one side, there is a canal of running water and on the other, five to six acres or so of thickets making up the grounds of the said mansion, which is enclosed by walls, except for the part running along the length of the said canal which serves to delimit the edge of the property at this point”. The residence is made up of a main dwelling flanked by two pavilions and an annex extending forward from one of them. The façades are covered in beige rendering and enhanced by quoins as well as a number of belt courses and moulded cornices that underline each level. The main elevation boasts six vertical rows of openings. The central avant-corps features a large amount of rusticated masonry topped by a triangular pediment with a blocked bullseye window. The steep sloped slate roofs are punctuated with dormer windows. A stoop with a rounded double staircase leads up to the entrance. Lastly, visually aligned with the residence, there are modern outbuildings at the edge of the property, as well as a pond in a wooded area, all within the uninterrupted land of the estate.

An atelier-like flat with breath-taking views, located within a sought-out neighbourhood in the dynamic suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. In northern Boulogne, this one-of-a-kind property is located on the 7th and last floor of a well-maintained commonhold building from the 1930s with unobstructed views of the nearby Notre-Dame Basilica as well as the Eiffel Tower. Accessible via a lift, the property was completely reimagined, designed, optimised and refurbished by an architect. With dazzling sunlight throughout the flat thanks to large picture windows and skylights, the front door opens on to an atelier-style living room with an open kitchen. In addition, a balcony, with absolutely breath-taking views, extends the interior towards the exterior and is furnished with a table and two chairs. As for the sleeping quarters, there are three bedrooms, a large wardrobe and a bathroom, while the flat also includes a separate lavatory and a cloakroom.

A large townhouse with a summer garden and conservatory on rue Legendre, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. This townhouse built in 1886, tucked away behind an apartment block, boasts an exterior with plenty of character. This former family home was recently used as a boarding house before being converted back into its original purpose, with floor-space of almost 288-m². Its period features have been carefully preserved, such as the alternating bands of red and beige bricks, adorned with Virginia creepers, and its drop-arched openings. A path through a 55-m² private garden leads to a small flight of steps, at the top of which stands the wooden entrance door adorned with ironwork, above which there is the original awning. On the ground floor, the door opens into an entrance hall and hallway, with ornate cement tiles, which leads to a lounge, dining room, office and a large kitchen. This level boasts period features preserved from the date of construction: the English bond flooring, ceiling mouldings and small fireplace. To the rear, there is an almost 67-m² conservatory completely covered by a glass roof. This extension to the house is an invitation to relax, whatever the season. A wooden staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade leads to the upper floors. On the first floor, the landing leads to a large lounge with a marble fireplace, an office, a bedroom and a bathroom. On the second floor, the landing leads to four bedrooms bathed in light, a bathroom and a lavatory. A mezzanine floor can be reached from the ground floor or from the conservatory, adding a generous amount of floor-space. It includes a multimedia lounge, a music room, a shower room and a utility room. It is easy to imagine that the large, vaulted cellar occupying the entire basement level, could have been the treasure trove of a champagne merchant.

A 15-hectare horse-riding estate with a lake, outhouses and 17 looseboxes, tucked away 20 kilometres from the medieval town of Provins, just south-east of Paris. The house and outbuildings lie between meadows on one side of the lane and parkland. These buildings were once annexes of a chateau, a former horse-riding centre. But now they form a family home that lends itself to equestrian pursuits. The horse meadows and most of the equestrian facilities remain on the property, but the horse-riding hall at the far end of the grounds has been sold. You reach the buildings via a lane, then a double gate. A stream runs through the parkland and fills up the property’s lake, which flows into the River Auxence, a small tributary of the River Yonne. A range of constructions with different purposes dot the land. First, there is the main house, between an orchard and a courtyard. It probably dates back to the 18th century and its foundations are even older, as suggested by a former chapel with rib vaults from the 16th century. The building, built in an L shape, includes two dwellings: the main one and a second one in a wing for friends and family that extends from the main house at a right angle. Beyond this second dwelling, there is a woodstore. Opposite the main house, there is an outbuilding used as an office. Five small looseboxes complete it. These buildings stand around a shady courtyard with a grassy centre with cherry trees. A lake lies beside the court. An agricultural storage building used for horse feed is flanked with 12 looseboxes and a saddle room. Two workshops lie beyond it. Another building with five looseboxes and a small storeroom complete the complex. The property also includes a round horse pen and a horse-riding area on the other side of the country lane.

A striking family triplex flat similar to a house, in a quiet, flower-filled courtyard in the north-east of Batignolles . The house is situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac, whose entrance is secured by a large wrought iron gate and a keycode entry system. A cobblestone pathway with greenery on both sides is framed by two small two-storey buildings. At one end, totally undisturbed, the entrance door opens directly onto a large reception area with a ceiling height of almost three metres, comprising a small sitting room, a dining room with access to the fitted kitchen, the guest lavatory and the laundry room. A few stone steps lead to the family living room slightly below, which is topped by a mezzanine housing the study. All the windows overlook the courtyard and provide plenty of light, enhancing the white parquet flooring. Further on, the internal wooden staircase, which is also painted white, has been designed to blend in perfectly with its surroundings. It leads to the two upper floors. The first floor is taken up by the master bedroom, its en-suite bathroom and mezzanine closet, as well as two other bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. A passageway serves as storage space and leads to a separate lavatory. The second floor is predominantly under sloping ceilings. It contains a large space with a bathroom that could be converted into a dormitory, a sports room or a large games room.

An 18th-century countryseat, flanked by two lateral wings from the early 20th century, with a courtyard and garden, nestled within a village in the Seine-et-Marne department. The U-shaped countryseat is laid out between a square courtyard and wooded grounds in the back. Entirely enclosed by walls, it is accessible on the courtyard side via a double-leaf gate and a pedestrian door, while four other wooden pedestrian doors, rarely used, provide access from the grounds to a washhouse, a former water reserve and a vegetable garden. In addition, a double-leaf metal gate located behind one of the outbuildings is reserved for vehicle access, whereas the building itself is skirted by a cobblestone path, which widens into a patio that is then extended by a garden in front one of its gable ends. As for the main building, with three storeys over a basement level, it was built in 1786, while its lower, more recent two-storey wings were added in 1900. Featuring roughcast-rendered stone exteriors and a flat tile Mansard roof with a slate strip demarcating the roof’s different gradients, on the side facing the grounds, the exterior boasts three sets of glass double doors, a dozen windows as well as seven dormers located on the roof’s lower slope, while on the courtyard side, three sets of glass doors, a dozen windows as well as four dormers with bull’s-eye windows, alternating between shed and hipped versions, punctuate the façade. Lastly, an octagonal brick and stone turret, abutting the right side of the main building’s exterior, is topped with violet and black tiles, which create the allusion of slate and provide a nice counterpoint to the roof’s visible slate strip.

A grand house with a 345m² floor area, annexes, a vegetable patch and over one hectare of tree-dotted grounds, nestled in a village in the River Oise valley just north of Paris. The grand edifice is a token of a rich past. It is a large building with a long story, which began over a century ago. In a small residential area of the charming village, you make your way alongside the property’s enclosing wall before discovering its buildings. An electric gate takes you onto a gravel drive that leads up to the main house, then to outbuildings on one side and to the grounds and vegetable patch on the other. The central edifice’s architecture and the layout of its main rooms bear witness to a style that is typical of the late 19th century: French classicism. The room sizes, windows and stone surrounds give the house balance and majesty, as do the splendid grounds that cover over a hectare and include age-old trees, clusters of plants, hedges, vast lawns, paths, a vegetable patch, and an old ornamental pond.

An architect-designed house with 125 m², three bedrooms and a garage in Saint-Maurice, ten minutes from Paris. The house, with a floor area of approximately 150 m², 125 m² of which are inhabitable, is located off of a paved staircase, reminiscent of Montmartre and a favourite among athletes for their training sessions. Only a few minutes from the Bois de Vincennes by foot, sheltered from view and sandwiched between nature and the city, the multi-level dwelling, designed by the architect and owner of the property, stretches from one end of the lot to the other, bringing to mind the horizontal “peach walls” that were once ubiquitous in the area. In addition, its different levels, alternating between enclosed and open spaces, provide abundant light, whereas the property itself incorporates a bioclimatic design, with its lower section occupied by a garden screened from the sun, and its upper portion made up of an immense patio with abundant vegetation. As for the roof’s steep overhang on its southern side, it provides much needed shade in the summer months, while the house’s exterior is coated in thick lime plaster and topped with an Ile-de-France flat tile roof. With underfloor heating, the house also comes with a wood-burning stove, which helps increase the house’s cosiness come winter, as well as a garage.

A 190-m² house with five bedrooms and a 360-m² garden near the metro lines 13 and 14 as well as the RER C in Saint-Ouen. The two-storey house is made up of two sections, one constructed in 1910 and the other built more recently in 2000. Punctuated by four windows and a door, the older part of the house faces the street and has a light-colour exterior cadenced by stringcourses in contrasting colours, a frieze on the upper level and slightly raised window and door surrounds – both jambs and lintels – in an aesthetic characteristic of the early 20th century. The ground floor includes an entrance hall with a cement tile floor, two large bedrooms, including one with its own bathroom and direct access to the garden, as well as a separate lavatory. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor with straight-plank oak hardwood floors, where the landing provides access to three bedrooms, a bathroom and lavatory. To the right of the entrance hall, the second section of the house is made up of a vast room of approximately 76 m² with a cathedral ceiling, the height of which culminates at 7 metres. This room, with a terracotta tile floor, includes a kitchen, dining room and living room with a fireplace. Over on the kitchen side of this large room, a picture window spans the entire length of one wall, providing the entire work surface with abundant light, while over on the living room side, a large, metal and glass quarter-round atelier window faces the verdant garden. In addition, the basement, located underneath the older section of the house, includes two large rooms as well as a laundry area and a gas furnace, which provides heat and hot water for the entire house. With two parking spaces and surrounded by a high wall, the garden, concealed from view, is accessible via a large solid metal gate, which opens onto a street adjacent to the one on which the property’s pedestrian entrance is located.

A former 12th-century mill and its outbuildings surrounded by two hectares of grounds, traversed by a river, not far from Fontainebleau and Bourron-Marlotte. A long forested lane leads to a wooden gate, which opens on to a stone humpback bridge, the guardrails of which are festooned with St John’s wort. Appearing as though it was built up against the bridge itself, the edifice unfurls its thick walls above the Loing River all the way to a small private island on which the mill’s east gable end was constructed. As for the outbuildings, to the right and in the centre of the cobblestone entrance courtyard, they include: a former kennel, a small garage, a workshop, a chicken coop and a bakehouse, while, in addition to the property’s two small islands, an immense space extends behind the outbuildings, which is bordered to the west by a small river.
