In the centre of Fontainebleau, in the Ile-de-France region, a renovated private mansion from the end of the 17th century surrounded by 1,000 m² of gardens. On one of Fontainebleau's most emblematic streets, in the heart of a residential neighbourhood, an elegant 17th-century gate with blocks of dressed sandstone, topped with a keystone at its centre, opens onto the mansion built between the courtyard and garden. With three storeys plus a basement level, the U-shaped building dates from the middle of the 17th century.
Today, in addition to the grand entrance, a secondary door provides access to the property. After the entry gate, there is a tiled courtyard, which highlights the façades of the central building and its two right-angle wings – each with three windows on their gable ends – initially whitewashed, and now covered in a chalk-coloured plaster. The large-pane windows, protected by grey-blue louvred shutters, are vertically aligned on each section of the building. On the central wing, the ground-floor windows are topped with triangular Greek-style pediments. On the first floor of the left wing, a wrap-around balcony is accessible and makes it possible to enjoy the different views to the south of the mansion. On the right-angle wings, formerly reserved for the stables, storage and service quarters, rounded dormer windows punctuate the antique tile roof. Behind the house, original walls enclose and hide the garden from view. As on the courtyard side, several doors open onto the lawns. On this side, four windows on the ground floor and four others on the first floor are aligned with the skylights on the last level. Towards the back of the garden, there is an old outbuilding that has been turned into an office.
