A 15th-century bailiff’s house, refurbished in the 17th century, with its enclosed garden in the historic city of Uzerche in the Corrèze department. Along the main road that borders the western side of the city’s ancient ramparts, scattered with garden patios and overlooking the gorges of the Vézère River, private mansions and chateaus bear witness to this town’s former administrative power – the result of its loyalty to the Kingdom of France – which then only increased once it was promoted to a seneschalty in the 16th century. Today, the town’s centre is meticulously maintained with urban amenities that highlight the unity of its architectural heritage. Initially composed of two contiguous buildings, the three-story house, with common walls on either side, is now one unified private mansion, but has kept both its front doors in order to facilitate circulation. Facing east and the street, the house’s rubble stone façade with brushed lime plaster has been the subject of many adjustments over the centuries by the village’s royal officers, known as the “culs blancs” (“white pants”), and is punctuated by two low-arched picture windows that alternate between the two front doors. The first door, under a Gothic arch, still has its solid studded double door, while its tympanum is safeguarded by stately ironwork; the second entrance is more modest with a single door and a fanlight protected by bars. With their vaulted appearance, these large, ancient windows and doors enliven the façade without disrupting the overall harmony of the rest of its ornamental features. On the first floor, moulded ashlar stone typical of the late 15th and early 16th centuries surrounds three deep-set windows with shutters. Rectangular in shape and identical, two of them precede, on the right, a third window topped by an ogee lintel with four moulded baguettes. Crowned with Allassac slate, in excellent condition, and rounded dormer windows, the house has a mansard roof on one side and a gabled one on the other. In addition, on its western and rear façade, a vast patio atop archways communicates with the living rooms on the ground floor and overlooks the grounds’ terraced gardens. This façade is punctuated by large wood-framed windows, which provide the various rooms with dual-aspect sunlight all day long. Lastly, on the other side of the street, an outbuilding has enough room to park one vehicle.

LOT - CENTER OF CAHORS This mansion was built on the foundations of a pre-existing building dating from the late 15th century, with modifications made in the 18th century. It has been owned by the same family since 1661. The mansion has been a listed historic monument since 1862. Renovation work on the entire property will be required, depending on the project that such a historic monument, closely linked to the history of Cahors, may inspire. A spiral staircase runs through the residence, leading to a beautiful round tower with a watchtower on the roof. The secondary part (east) is a fairly narrow brick extension towards the river from the main part, surrounded on both sides by two other buildings (south and northeast). This part is believed to predate the construction of the mansion. The southern section is a half-timbered building topped by a wooden gallery, open under the roof, called a soleilho. The northeast section is a building in the same style as the main structure. A small garden covers approximately 250 square meters. This residence is called the House of Henry IV because the King of Navarre is said to have stayed there for several months during the siege of Cahors in 1580.
