Near Agen, a 17th-century estate combining heritage and modernity, with stables, a guest house, and other outbuildings. The private driveway that leads to the property climbs up a wooded hillside overlooking the alluvial plain, devoted to both cereal and fruit cultivation and traversed by the Garonne Canal; it runs alongside a powerful terrace wall and the first buildings of the estate. The local climate is temperate, with hot summers and no dry season. Built on the hillside, the residence offers a panoramic view of the Garonne Valley, which marks the border with Gascony. Historically part of an agricultural estate and well protected from floods, it represents a typical example of a noble house in Agenais. Raised over two levels on cellars and consisting of three bodies arranged at right angles, it features austere stone facades, plastered and regularly pierced with vertical openings, with ashlar stone frames and brick cornices. It is bordered by a terrace to the north. Like the main residence, fully renovated, all the other buildings are operational, according to the wishes of the current occupants, and clustered around a private enclosed garden. The inner courtyard, rectangular in shape and half paved, half grassy, serves the living quarters and agricultural buildings. These have retained their cornices and the entablature of the exterior facades in bricks, reflecting an architectural adaptation that dates back to the Restoration, while the other facades, made of rubble, are either plastered or pointed. The roofs, mostly gabled with two or four slopes, are covered with canal or mechanical tiles. Only the half-timbered dovecote, the pool house, and the guest house located in the large gallery barn are separate from the built complex. Finally, the park, grassy and populated with multiple tree species, includes a swimming pool and its building at the center, a dovecote to the north, an orchard to the southeast, and a small wood to the west.
