Between Toulouse and the Pyrenees Mountains, in the heart of an Ariège fortified town, a 376-m² manor house, its enclosed garden and adjacent parcel of land. The manor house was once the property of a noble family from the region. Located on one of the main streets leading to the church square, where medieval homes, recognisable through their corbelled construction, stand side by side with Ancien Régime houses, the house looks out east over the village’s surrounding hills and offers a striking view of the Pyrenees Mountains. Two separate entrances provide dual access to the property, one on the street side, and one from the ramparts. Extending on from the house is a medieval construction connected, via a gallery, to a building that overlooks the rampart’s promenade and once housed stables An enclosed garden ringed by the house on one side and a stone wall on the other, provides a space far from prying eyes. A second 575-m² garden is accessible via a staircase descending the length of the ramparts.

A 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in 4 ha of parklands, 40 km to the south of Toulouse. The “Domaine d’Ampouillac”, composed of land and houses, has been known by this name since the 10th century. Initially annexed to the Cuxa Monastery, in 1209 the estate and the priory became part of the Boulbonne Abbey, created in 1129 near to Mazères. The monks of this Cistercian Abbey farmed Ampouillac’s land and that of some adjoining estates, such as Baissac, Artenac and several others. The remoteness of Mazères meant that the monks had to construct buildings for their accommodation on the land they were farming. Said buildings, known as Cistercian barns, were to remain the property of Boulbonne Abbey until the time of the French Revolution when, as a result of the revolutionary riots, Ampouillac was partially destroyed. All that remained was the basement of the “barn” and the current ground floor as is proved by the architecture and the thickness of the walls. In 1791, Ampouillac, was declared National Property and sold. The buyer reconstructed it from the ruins as is explained on the plaque on the stairway. It was also at this time that the first-floor lounge was created and decorated. Ampouillac was to remain in the hands of the same family until 1879 when it was sold to an industrialist from Toulouse. The building currently spans three levels over cellars, the latter being the old, 11th century, Cistercian barns.

A sumptuous 183m² apartment on the noble floor of a Haussmannian-style edifice on a pedestrianised street in Toulouse. The majestic edifice looks down at a broad pedestrianised shopping street. It bears the main traits of sumptuous Haussmannian edifices from the 19th century: continuous balconies with wrought-iron balustrades decorated with acanthus foliage, bargeboards and stylised architectural articulation around the windows. Antique ornamentation also adorns the lavish facade, including a medallion and effigy above the entrance door, Corinthian pilasters, and atlantes supporting the corbels of the first balconies. The communal areas – an entrance hall, a stairwell and an inner courtyard – are well maintained. A lift takes you to the five floors of the building, as does a beautiful staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade.

A 19th century chateau, its greenhouse and wooded grounds 30 minutes from Toulouse city centre, in the heart of the countryside. The property is accessed via an unpaved track lined with centuries-old trees leading to an iron gate. Flanked by two Roman columns adorned with capitals featuring antique terracotta vases, the gates open onto a driveway lined with four yew trees leading to the chateau. This first section of the grounds, enclosed by a low wall topped with railings, provides parking for several vehicles. At the heart of the property, a central corps de logis and two wings frame a rectangular main courtyard facing due west, paved with Garonne pebbles surrounding a central earth platform where the vegetation has taken its rightful place. The original building, a farm, was included in the first regional land register, drawn up in 1825. The grounds feature a row of three 300-year-old cedar trees, suggesting that the original owners were Protestants. Given monumental form between 1870 and 1875 with the addition of a second storey and neo-Classical and neo-Gothic decorative elements, the main building now has four storeys. Flanked by four watchtowers, its symmetrical facades are punctuated by alternating arched and straight windows, with brick surrounds and wooden shutters painted light blue. Two stringcourses, also of red brick, mark the separations between the three levels. The semi-circular French windows facing the main courtyard or the parklands have balconies with wrought iron guardrails. The four-pitched roof is of slate. Each of the two wings of the chateau is two storeys high and topped by a gable roof of monk-and-nun tiles. The western end of the roof features a pediment crowned with terracotta pine cones. The north wing contains a gallery, a reception room and a mezzanine that opens onto a long balcony; the south wing comprises a vast conservatory and a gîte with a separate terrace. Two side extensions with monk-and-nun tile roofs form the link between the corps de logis and the wings. All the walls are rendered in light yellow, complementing the colours of the vines that grow along the facades and that of the flowering bushes in the main courtyard. Finally, the chateau is surrounded by 8,000 m² of grounds, including an outbuilding with a large swimming pool.
