A vast brick and stone mansion with a 20th-century extension, in the middle of a small town in the Hauts-de-France region, 8 km from the Belgian border. The mansion, which takes its name from a former mendicant order in Syria, was initially built as a convent. Construction work on it began in 1724 and was finished in 1729, thanks to funding obtained by the nuns from Duchess Marie-Célestine de Holstein-Rethwisch. In 1792, in the fury of the French Revolution, the outside chapel and part of the cloisters were destroyed before the buildings were rented, between 1801 and 1863, by a private owner to the local authorities to host the police services and prison. It was then purchased in 1927 by the municipality and transformed into a hospice which was officially inaugurated in 1933. In the meantime, between 1873 and 1885, it was revamped as a stately home for the Moreau de la Tour-Godard-Desmaret family. Lastly, from 1979 to 1983, as well as in 1989, the building was modernised with an extension to the south, part of which was demolished several years ago. An entrance porch with a slate roof leads into the grounds in front of the mansion to the east. The main façade, with three storeys, stands out thanks to its brick and stone settings as well as the symmetry of its central section. In the second half of the 19th century, a scroll pediment and two balconies were added to the initial construction of 1724, on the western façade. Additionally, the main section has a half hipped slate roof dotted with hipped dormers and a chimney stack. To the north, there is a wing with a square tower topped by a slate pavilion roof with a zinc ridge cap, while to the south there is a wing with a similar roof. To the west, two flights of stone steps lead down into the grounds, which spread around the mansion over approximately 7,000 m² and include lawns and copses as well as almost 1,000 m² which can be built upon.

10 kilometres southeast of Lille, the Sterckeman house by the architect Paul Chemetov, nestled within a tree-filled garden and surrounded by pastures. Built out of a 5-tonne Corten steel structure and tarmacked breezeblocks in the middle of its garden, the raised black block punctuated with large picture windows, which comprises this singular habitation, is listed on the supplementary inventory for historical monuments. Towards 1970, Christian Sterckeman asked Paul Chemetov, a young architect, to build a house on the Pévèle plain. They met several months earlier for an industrial and commercial building project for the sale and distribution of caravans under the framework of his professional activity. 'Living can be camping. A way of settling down without anchoring, of taking hold without taking root'. The construction was therefore designed as a prototype for an economical, reproducible, working-class model typical of its time. Perched on stilts, with its white diagonal triangulation bars, its large skydome windows and plumbing pipe guardrails, the Sterckeman house stands in the middle of a tree-filled garden surrounded by pastures. Everything is within sight. This is, of course, an architectural decision firmly inscribed in the landscape, as Paul Chemetov notes. Winner of the Grand Prix de l’Architecture in 1980, who at one point declared, 'architecture is a moral construct', he designed several emblematic Parisian buildings like the Ministry of Finances in 1989. For him, the traces of the construction and the experience of the materials mattered: 'Here and now the courage is to build. Let’s leave fashion to the milliners and graphics to the graphic designers'. The Sterckeman house, with its concrete, rough breezeblock walls, exposed bricks and red metal framework, is basically a manifesto in action: that of Paul Chemetov’s societal engagement as a protagonist for the recognition of metallic structures.

A third-floor apartment, with a garage, in Lille in an Art Deco style building from 1925. The apartment is located on the third storey of a stone building built in 1925, situated on Boulevard de la Liberté, a thoroughfare created in 1860 as part of Haussmann’s urbanisation programme in the Second Empire period. Today, it is lined with plane trees and runs past the fine arts museum as well as Lille’s prefecture, providing easy access to the city-centre. The seven-storey building was designed by architect Charles Sarazin and possesses an Art Deco inspired facade, which boasts strict geometry characterised by sober lines and embellished with stylised patterns as well as decorative ironwork, and combines concrete, stone and brick. The main entrance to the residence is via a large, glazed door, equipped with an intercom. At the rear of the entrance hall, the inner courtyard and cellars can be reached via a large, Art Deco inspired, wrought-iron gate. To the right at the back of the vestibule, there is an elevator to all the storeys, except for the seventh floor, encased in a metal hoist-way. A distinctive feature of the building is the excellent condition of its communal areas. A 14-m² former maid’s room on the seventh floor and two cellars in the basement are also included in the property.

An 18th-century manor house and its outbuildings set in 4,000 m² of wooded grounds, just a few minutes from the beaches of the Opal Coast. A notable mention of this noble house can be found in the French Mérimée database. The manor is depicted on the 1813 land registry. A succession of different families have lived here right up to the present day. They have all endeavoured to preserve the authenticity of the manor house, which stands out for its extremely harmonious classical style. The entrance is through a white wooden gate revealing the main body of the dwelling, which stands proudly in the middle of the central lawn. The property is surrounded by greenery and the garden is laid out on either side of the residence and the outbuildings to the right of the main facade. Rectangular in plan and classical in style, the main two-storey building has a floor area of approx. 250 m² excluding the basement. The slate roof, with its broached eaves, features three hip dormers on each side and three brick chimney stacks. The main facade, rendered in white and punctuated by nine symmetrically arranged, small-paned windows with white shutters, creates a particularly harmonious appearance.

The mansion is characteristic of edifices built in the wake of the First World War by renowned architects like Marcel Griffon. It lies on the site of a former sugar factory, created by the Dellisse-Engrand family in Béthune in 1818. This was one of the first sugar factories in France. A commemorative plaque in tribute to Victor Amédée Dellisse, a civil engineer, member of parliament and politician honoured by Napoleon III, is still displayed on the edifice’s facade. The dwelling is crowned with a hipped mansard roof. The mansion, made of ashlar, is typical of 1920s neo-classical architecture. It is embellished with wrought-iron balcony balustrades with motifs, fine mouldings and sculpted cornices with a wealth of details. The building has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. It is hidden behind an electric wrought-iron gate and it stands in tree-dotted grounds. These walled grounds cover 2,000m². The brick walls here date back to the time of the military engineer Vauban and were built upon the ruins of a 16th-century Franciscan monastery: Les Récollets. Indeed, opposite the mansion’s facade there are the remaining columns and arches of a former church, which was listed as a historical monument in 1973. Part of the church’s central nave remains. A driveway with a cluster of flowers and shrubs in the middle makes it easy for cars to enter and leave the property.
