Exclusively with Sotheby's. Near Vézelay, a magnificent historic property comprising an elegant manor house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, flanked by watchtowers, at the heart of a peaceful village. Full of charm, it embodies the discreet character of the rural manor houses of the late Renaissance.
