Near Agen, a 17th-century estate combining heritage and modernity, with stables, a guesthouse, and other outbuildings. The private pathway leading to the property ascends a wooded hillside overlooking the floodplain, dedicated to cereal and fruit cultivation and traversed by the Garonne canal; it runs alongside a powerful terraced wall and the first buildings of the property. 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 flooding, it represents a typical example of a noble house from the Agen region. Elevated over two levels on cellars and composed of three wings arranged at right angles, it features sober stone facades, plastered and regularly pierced with straight openings, with dressings in ashlar and brick corbelling. It is bordered by a terrace to the north. Like the main house, which has been fully renovated, all other constructions are operational, in accordance with the wishes of the current occupants, and are gathered around a private enclosed garden. The courtyard, rectangular and half-paved, half-grassy, serves the living quarters and agricultural buildings. These have retained their corbelling and the entablature of the exterior facades in brick, reflecting an architectural adaptation that dates back to the Restoration, while the other facades, in rubble stone, are plastered or pointed. The roofs, mostly gabled in two or four slopes, are covered with either canal tiles or mechanical tiles. Only the half-timbered dovecote, the pool room, and the guesthouse located in the large barn with a gallery are separated from the built complex. Finally, the park, grassy and wooded with multiple species, includes a swimming pool and its building in the center, a dovecote to the north, an orchard to the southeast, and a small wood to the west.
