A renovated former silkworm farm, its wooded grounds and covered swimming pool, within the Cévennes National Park, in the south of the Lozère department. Just a couple of steps away from Florac’s downtown area and sheltered from view, the property, protected by a stone wall, extends over wooded grounds and is accessible via a gate, communicating with one of the village’s secondary roads, which leads to two buildings: the former silk farm and now the main dwelling, as well as an outbuilding that has been converted into a workshop. Between the two, a patio shaded by a trellis is an invitation to eat meals outside on nice days, whereas, further on and hidden behind the property’s first rows of trees, is a wooden chalet as well as a covered and heated swimming pool. In addition, at one end of the grounds, a second outbuilding was converted to accommodate visitors, while the property’s wide variety of trees and the breadth of its verdant foliage create, when strolling through the grounds, a succession of breath-taking and peaceful landscapes. Lastly, a second gate, located in the back of the property, makes it possible to park several vehicles without creating an eyesore for the dwelling’s inhabitants.

A 17th-century manor house with a panoramic view, outbuildings, a swimming pool and helipad, in a 13-hectare estate, in the Limargue sector. The property is located in a farming hamlet that is very typical of the Limargue sector, in a dominant position on a ‘pech’, the name given locally to a hill. The manor house and its large courtyard to the north used for private parking can be found at the highest part of the estate and can be reached directly through a wrought-iron gate that opens off the country road running through the hamlet. There is another entrance via the south, via a long earthen track that winds through the fields, leading to the barn and hangars spread out through the 13-hectare estate. Opposite the splendidly looking manor house, built in 1608, restructured in 1688 and extended in 1823, there is a large building combining garage space and living space. It lines one side of the courtyard and separates the manor building from the other houses in the hamlet. The manor house and barn underwent extensive renovation work between 2002 and 2007. When work began, the manor house was in a state of near ruin and it took two full years of work to make this edifice alone habitable. The totally uninterrupted view takes in a succession of natural meadows bordered by hedges and woods. A long, 12-metres by 3-metres, salt-filtered, heated, granite swimming pool fitted with a waterfall fountain, counter-current swimming system and a security roller shutter that is fully concealed when open, has been installed to the northwest of the house. Alongside the earthen track that leads down to the vegetable garden, another barn has partially been converted into a fitness room. Further to the south, a helipad and its modern facilities have been smartly blended into the wooded countryside, away from view. On the other side of the valley, a third barn still serves its original agricultural purpose. At its southern tip, the property is enclosed by a naturally cultivated vegetable garden, an orchard and a storage hut. Not far from the vegetable garden, there is a 20-metres by 60-metres dressage area, next to which a hangar for the horses has been erected; there is also another shelter to the north, nearer to the residence. In the shade of a small wood, a natural pond into which a spring on the estate flows also stands on the property.

An entirely restored 18th-century residence with outbuildings, on 11 hectares of land, like a Provence fortified village, in the Lot-et-Garonne area, near Agen. A limestone track branches off from a country road and leads on for approximately 150 metres, lined on one side by overhanging crags and on the other by alternating dense foliage as well as meadows below. The narrow, one-way lane splits as it reaches the buildings, with one leading to the residence, while the other curves round to rejoin the road further on. The entrance to the property is marked by a first wrought iron gate, while a second, more imposing, 18th-century one welcomes the visitor opposite the house’s enclosed courtyard. The main façade can be seen behind a small wall topped with wrought iron railings. The two-storey building is made with ashlar and has been rendered with lime on the southern wing. The hipped roof made of Romanesque tiles is underlined by a double or even triple genoise corbel as well as rainwater gutters. The arrangement on each level of an odd number of windows is symmetrical in its positioning: the ground floor is bathed in light through wide, small-paned windows, while the first floor is dotted with half-moon windows. The window frames are underlined in ochre-coloured tones and fitted with painted wooden shutters, providing discrete sophistication to the building as a whole. The main section forms an L-shape with the west wing and boasts a sober and elegant façade at the end of the courtyard. On the ground floor, two windows flank the period, solid wood, 18th-century entrance door. The outbuildings can be found to the east. Over the last twenty years, the current occupants have graced the estate with abundant vegetation that has shaped its character. Following a southern French spirit, Provence cypress, olive, pittosporum and other evergreen trees seem to have belonged to the landscape since time immemorial. They combine with ponds, fountains, statues, garden ornaments and stone walls. A swimming pool has been harmoniously incorporated into the garden.

An 18th-century country house of 600 m², with natural swimming pool, park and 19-hectare olive-growing estate, 15 minutes from Avignon TGV station . This is a bastide with a history that is not easily unveiled. Its Provence name, which means 'to preserve and respect', may well refer to a Masonic practice that existed in 18th-century lodges but has since disappeared. And it was precisely at this time that the bastide was built, probably on top of pre-existing medieval foundations. A symbol in the centre of the park's majestic wrought-iron entrance gate adds to the mystery: a hexagram, or 'Star of David', suggests that the estate may have belonged to a Jewish banker in the service of the Avignon papacy. However, there are no official records to support this hypothesis, which has become a local legend. It should be remembered that the hexagram is a decorative figure found in Christian, Hindu, Japanese and pre-Islamic Arab architectural symbolism; the six branches of the star representing the six days of work, with the seventh day, the day of rest, in the hollowed-out centre of the geometry. The residence, surrounded by around 4 hectares of wooded parklands, is situated at the south-east end of a 15-hectare olive grove, criss-crossed by chequered tracks. Some of the earth paths run alongside one of the high dykes protecting the property from the Rhone River, which provides the entire estate with a much-envied wealth of silt and a constant supply of water. The bastide, at once an aristocratic residence and a farmhouse, displays all the distinctive features of its particular architectural style. As the construction of such a complex always takes time, the square, affluent 18th-century buildings were extended at the beginning of the 19th century by two lower adjoining buildings. Not far away, a single-storey outbuilding dating from the late 19th century, used as a caretaker's lodge, ensures from a distance that the peace and quiet of the bastide, a true 'manor house' surrounded by its estate, is preserved.
