Manor Ozouer-le-Voulgis (77)
In Seine-et-Marne, the 'Vieux Château' of Ozouer-le-Voulgis, steeped in history and located 40 minutes from Paris by Transilien or by car. At the heart of a wooded park stands a 19th-century residence made of rendered stone with a four-pitched tile roof that has preserved its historical attributes. The estate's gate opens onto a gravel courtyard lined with trees, creating a natural envelope. The building, facing northeast at the front and side, is bordered by the park to the south and draped in a cloak of ivy, while soft green Venetian shutters accentuate its verdant frame. A stone wall protects it from the street, preserving the tranquility of the place. The interior honors craftsmanship from days gone by. On the ground floor, the cement tiles of the vestibule are paired with Hungarian-point parquet, moldings, and a marble fireplace in the grand salon on one side, and on the other, a living room with a marble fireplace leads to an oval dining room with delicate woodwork, adorned with a Prussian warming dish, showcasing the art of living à la française that has shaped the place. The kitchen, located in an extension of the building, is more modern. A service corridor discreetly connects it to the entrance and amenities. The reception rooms, facing south and bathed in light on beautiful days, offer breathtaking views of the wooded park. The majestic wooden staircase with delicate ironwork invites exploration of the floors. The first floor features, on one side, two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and on the other, a bedroom with a private bathroom, wardrobe, and laundry room, perpetuating the elegance of the ground floor through solid parquet and marble fireplaces. Weathered by time, some elements require special attention, particularly in the unheated upper floors, part of which has suffered water damage. The second floor, adorned with parquet and fireplaces, comprises five bedrooms and an office. Finally, the last floor reveals a rustic character waiting to be enhanced, with its exposed beams and terracotta tiles, illuminated by oval skylights overlooking the park.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Manor Presles-en-Brie (77)
45 kilometres southeast from Paris, a 12th-century manor, entirely restored, with its moats, outbuildings and 4 7-hectare grounds. Behind the wrought-iron fence, the property is revealed in all its splendour. To the left, the former watchtower, once defensive in nature, seems to welcome visitors today. Across from it, the manor stands facing a vast lawn. Behind it, a paved patio looks out on the former moats, partially encircled by stone ramparts. To the northwest, an apartment located in a semi-detached barn completes the whole. Two driveways provide access to the grounds. The group of buildings harmoniously blend together thanks to their pointed exposed stone façades, pierced with rectangular or arched windows and embellished with wooden window frames and doors. The window surrounds are in ashlar stone, which match the colour of the plaster. The flat-tile gabled roofs are perforated with pedimented hayloft dormer windows. Corner and façade wall ties are in white or grey ashlar stone. The first vestiges of the manor date back to the 12th century. Subsequently and through the unification of several fiefdoms and domains in 1787, the construction started to resemble “a fortified house consisting of a group of dwellings and large moats of water”. The manor still contains many elements that bear witness to its long history.

Manor Aubepierre-Ozouer-le-Repos (77)
70 kilometres southeast of Paris, in the Seine-et-Marne department, an elegant Anglo-Norman style manor and its grounds. Hidden from view, the only glimpses of the elegant building from the street are its roof and two tours decorated with terracotta finials. Once through the wrought-iron gate framed by two pillars each crowned with a Medici flowerpot, a driveway leads to the entrance of the building, which stands in the centre of the grounds planted with high-branching trees and benefits from full sun throughout the day. To the south, a patio opens onto a lawn and the rest of the grounds. The construction, organised around a main building characterised by its Anglo-Norman style, is framed to the east by a round tower, to the west by a square tower, and has three floors built over a basement level. The façades are adorned with half-timbering and brickwork patterns, while the roof consists of small flat tiles.
