Everywhere you look, you can find a riverside spot to go fishing, or a natural beach to enjoy swimming and boating. Also in the Creuse Valley is Fontgombault Abbey, home to a vibrant and renowned Benedictine community; and the spa town of La Roche-Posay, whose waters treat the most common skin conditions.

Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst walkers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained trails winding their way between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find ideal terrain here, in accordance with responsible practices.

Further west lies Poitiers, a major regional, university and commercial city, which can be reached in under an hour and from where TGVs depart regularly for Bordeaux or the capital. At the end of a driveway, the château stands as a tall building oriented north-south. The 15th-C. main building has a gable roof covered with flat tiles and gable walls. To the east, a three-sided extension with a hipped roof, built on two levels in the early 20th-C., resembles the prow of a ship. The whole complex has a certain charm. To the west, a small 18th-century barn serves as the stern of this fine vessel. The facades of the main building are illuminated by windows of varying shapes and sizes. One of them is mullioned. Numerous holes for nesting boxes are visible at the top of the south facade. The ground floor is accessed from each of the main façades: a large room with a monumental fireplace, and a kitchen in the extension with a toilet and utility room. On this level, there is also a room accessible only via a high window on the south façade.

An almost 90-m² apartment, eligible for tax incentives, in Poitiers, in a building under renovation. The apartment is located on the ground floor of a 19th-century edifice that is currently being restored under the supervision of heritage agency Bâtiments de France. The building boasts a richly decorated facade, with a modillion and denticulated cornice, carefully crafted frames, segmental or basket-handle arched openings, as well as a decor of palms and acanthus leaves. In the centre, the pediment is decorated by a full-round bust. The building’s entrance opens into a corridor leading to the apartment, which stands out thanks to its ample volumes beneath high ceilings. The bedroom boasts a balcony and the whole apartment possesses a unique layout, inherited from its original purpose: the different spaces were previously the reception rooms of a townhouse. The property’s parking place can be reached through an entrance porch.

A manor house, two gites and outbuildings in 8 hectares of wooded grounds in a village, 30 minutes from Poitiers. A small country road runs alongside the property wall to a gate enhanced by two pillars supporting an imposing, sober iron gate. Once past the entrance, two houses appear on either side, each with its own private outdoor space, and further on, there are outbuildings. The manor house is revealed next, followed by the grounds. The main building dates back to the last years of the 18th century, the Directoire period. A wing and stairway tower were added at the beginning of the 20th century copying the original style. A bossed arch on the facade highlights the entrance, which is topped by a balcony. Pedimented dormer windows have been added to the concave Mansard roof on the manor house. The wing has a four-sided slate roof. Render has been applied to all of the facades and the corner ties and window frames are ashlar. Under the 20th century wing, there is a cellar which is accessible from the outside. The two guest houses, situated at the entrance to the estate, one with a small private courtyard and the other with a garden area, are the same style, with stone dressings and canal tile roofs.

A former chapel enlarged and converted into a family dwelling, 20 minutes from Châtellerault and 30 minutes from Poitiers, in the Vienne department. Nestled in a hamlet, at the end of a no-through road, the property, surrounded by an enclosure wall and fencing, is accessible via a gate, which opens on to a garden and a swimming pool, while, a little further on, the L-shaped dwelling, topped with recent interlocking barrel tile roofs, features, on one side, a former 15th-century chapel with its plaster-coated stonework and, on the other, a more modern extension.

A 19th-century manor house with outbuildings and six hectares of grounds in a protected natural zone where France’s Charente, Charente-Maritime and Deux-Sèvres departments meet. The grounds are located just south of a hamlet. The dwellings in this hamlet border the property’s northern meadows. The manor house faces south-west and looks out at a tree-dotted space. On each side of the manor house, two long buildings form a U shape with the main house. Two towers with pointed cone roofs adorn the complex on both sides. One of these towers adjoins the northern outbuilding. The property’s entrance gate faces a 150-metre-long drive lined with trees. This drive runs up to a road. On the south-east side, there are other outbuildings: a dwelling with an enclosed garden, farm buildings and looseboxes.

A late 19th-century chateau and its former farm, surrounded by grounds and 140 hectares of woods and pastureland, between Châtellerault and Poitiers. From a small road, a long drive, lined with plane trees, traverses the property’s farmland before reaching the chateau and its enclosed grounds. Although the impressive edifice only dates back to the late 19th century, the estate itself has been occupied since the Middle Ages. With plaster-coated exteriors cadenced by arched windows on the ground floor and rectangular ones upstairs, all surrounded by ashlar stone, its jagged two or three-sided slate rooftops are punctuated by dormer windows, while a farm with outbuildings and two small dwellings are located behind the chateau. Last, but not least, fields surround the chateau on all sides and woods seal off the property to the north.

In a spa town between Bordeaux and La Rochelle, a discreet, 230-m² house, its tree-filled garden, large upper patio, garage and studio. Rectangular in shape and built over two levels, the house is topped by barrel tile roofs, the organisation of which demonstrates that initially, there were most likely several houses and outhouses built one after the other depending on the needs at the time. The visible stone masonry is punctuated by numerous windows and doors surrounded by ashlar stone. On the garden side, the ground floor rooms are connected via a 20-metre gallery along the façade, looking out over the garden with its picture windows. As for the upstairs, this floor includes a patio of approximately 65 m², which extends along the entire length of the house. From there, the view extends to the rooftops of the city’s chateau and, on the right side, over the Romanesque church’s bell tower. Right next door, a covered and converted section provides access to a small courtyard adjacent to the studio, which looks out over one of the town’s squares.

A large, elegant and comfortable house and its neighbouring building in need of restoration, in a beautiful dry-stone village in the upper Sèvre valley. The main house, built out of rubble limestone, overlooks, on its garden side, the Sèvre River from all four of its storeys, while its other façades look out on one of the most beautiful villages in the department with its medieval chateau. All the living spaces are located on the ground floor, which includes: a large living room, a small sitting room, a library or office and dining room, all decorated with nailed wide-plank hardwood floors, a variety of different fireplaces and ceilings with exposed beams or delicate stucco patterns, while the kitchen, left in its original state, has an antique square terracotta-tile floor. In the other building, a vast room, called 'the chapel', accessible via the small sitting room, could be used for galas, concerts or theatre performances. The first floor contains four bedrooms, each in a unique style – one of which has a powder room with lavatory – as well as a vast separate shower room with lavatory. On the second floor, under the insulated roof, a lounge space opens onto the staircase, while a last bedroom, bathed in sunlight, is located near the bathroom with lavatory. The rest of the floor is reserved for the attic space. As for the garden level, it includes a summer kitchen and furnace room (wood-pellet central heating), a workshop, a summer shower room with lavatory and a cellar. The house’s tile roof is in great condition as is the roofing for the outbuildings, while most of the windows are double-glazed. The garden is organised into six spaces, including the courtyard enclosed on three of its four sides by two barns and the deep, asymmetrical quadrilateral swimming pool. The four storeys of the house in need of restoration – which a small courtyard separates from the first – are accessed by a spiral staircase, which is undoubtedly older than the date displayed above the building’s arched front door: 1724. Although some of its window frames have been changed recently and the shutters are new, there are eight rooms in total that need to be refurbished, in addition to three cellars and two attic spaces. An interior garden, in which a palm tree provides a Mediterranean touch, opens onto a patio under which, thanks to the slope of the street that descends towards the bridge over the river, a garage was created.

A fully renovated, 18th-century manor house, 10 minutes from Poitiers, in 2-hectare grounds with a swimming pool. A small country road runs alongside the property and leads to its two entrances. The first is made up of an entrance porch with a wooden gate, while the second possesses a wrought-iron railing gate. After the first entrance, there are garages followed by a wing in front of which a patio has been installed. The main residence can be found at the end of this L-shaped building, enhanced by an ornamental garden. The façades of the main residence are rendered, with stone quoins as well as window and door frames, while the wing boasts exposed stonework. All the roofs are made up of half-round tiles, plus the entirety of the windows are double glazed. Between the house and the garages, a pond, into which a stream flows, was created in the 18th century. The garden extends to the rear and below the house, with a swimming pool at the same height as the main residence and second entrance.

In the scenic Vienne region, in the centre of grounds crossed by a river, a traditional farmhouse with full French ownership rights and two guest houses. The property can be accessed via two entrances, the first providing direct access to the grounds and the second to the farmhouse via a courtyard, where a covered area has been created with space for two cars. A caretaker's cottage is located a few meters from the main entrance. The stone farmhouse has a flat-tiled roof. Its two facades are dotted with windows, some with French windows, which are echoes of each another. In the grounds, a first guest house can be accessed via the garden gate and by going past the front of the farmhouse, which is just a few metres away. Built of exposed stone with a tiled roof like the farmhouse, it faces the mill and a reservoir formed by the water from the millstream. The mill, set opposite these first two dwellings is the focal point of the whole complex. The mill's history can be traced back to the 17th century, when its dykes were built. Destroyed by a fire in 1790, it was rebuilt in 1800 and still has water rights to this day. Its drop height is around 1.8 m. It should be noted that all the dykes have been bricked up and raised to protect the buildings from possible winter flooding. Finally, a second guest house has been built on the first island and is linked to the shore by a small bridge and accessed by a stone staircase. Another bridge leads to a second, even larger island.

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.

An old watermill to be restored with a two-hectare lake, a fishery and three hectares of woods in France’s Charente department, thirty minutes from the town of Angoulême. From the secondary road through the hamlet, a tarmac lane leads east and quickly takes you to the watermill, edged with water on its north side. Beyond it, a stream flows from north to south across the property, between the house and a lake surrounded by dense woods. A small island in the middle of the lake becomes a peninsula when the water is at its lowest level in the summer. The enclosed lake can be supplied with water from the north. On the south side, a sluice gate leads to a fishery where fish can be caught by draining the lake.

An 18th-century noble residence, with a garden and orangery, in the town-centre of Montmorillon. In a peaceful street, the house is surrounded by many other noble residences and their lush gardens. The property stands behind a monumental ashlar entrance porch, formed by an elegant semi-circular arch made up of radiating voussoirs, with a double-leaf solid wood carriage gate. In bygone days, the porch led to meadows where racehorses grazed. The main residence dates from the 18th century and for a long time belonged to a family of note in the region. The U-shaped two-storey edifice is flanked by two wings on either side, all of which are punctuated by many windows and doors overlooking the courtyard and the tree-filed garden. The roof is made of flat tiles and the window and door surrounds as well as the quoins are made of stone.
