A 16th-century manor house set in 6 hectares of grounds in the south of the Cotentin peninsula. At the junction of a departmental road, a 900 m-long track leads to the driveway up to the manor house, which faces south. The first thing you see are two buildings. On one side there is an old bakery, and on the other, a larger building used as a warehouse for agricultural equipment. Further on you come to a chapel, dated 1712 according to an inscription on the pediment of its arched door. The driveway spans the moat surrounding the manor house, which is bordered at the back by a pond. The main facade is flanked at either end by two towers with narrow openings typical of 16th century fortified houses. The roof is made of slate. A second building from the same period is opposite it. Finally, a last building borders the pond: an old barn with a hayloft.

A masterfully renovated building complex in lush grounds that cover seven hectares, nestled in France's beautiful Perche province. A quiet country lane snakes through tree-dotted countryside of small fields to reach the property, hidden behind well-trimmed hedges. Tall wrought-iron gates open onto a driveway lined with trees and rows of hornbeams. It leads to the three main buildings set out around a court. The driveway and court are both gravelled. Next to the three houses, another two buildings and lime-rendered low walls form an enclosure where a swimming pool could be built. Around the buildings, the beautiful seven-hectare grounds are made up of lawns, hedges and pasture. Woods look out across them.

An 18th century mansion house and its garden, both listed as French Historic monuments, in the so-called “Little Norman Versailles” on the Cotentin Peninsula. Administrative capital of the Cotentin Peninsula from the Middle-Ages through to the 18th century, Valognes is a royal town and an important legal centre. As of the reign of Louis XIV, the flourishing town saw the construction of a large number of mansion houses, of which about forty or so still exist today. The “Hôtel Dorléans” stands slightly set back off a square, on the corner of a street. On the side, a large gateway, decorated with protruding quoins, opens into a paved courtyard that borders the rear facade and a stairway tower. Two stairways provide access to a garden laid out on a higher level than the house. A double garage can be reached via an adjacent street.

The Villa d'Eaux, an exceptional and significant edifice on the Côte Fleurie, in the centre of Villers-sur-Mer and 100 m from the beach. Villers-sur-Mer is one of the seaside resorts created in the middle of the 19th century and built along the Côte Fleurie between Trouville-sur-Mer and Cabourg, between the Côte de Grâce and the Côte de Nacre. It was a Parisian elite in search of a getaway in a healthy climate that drove the development of seaside tourism on this stretch of the coast. They were attracted by the landscape and picturesque charm of these isolated spots, which had been revealed by painters. Villers-sur-Mer was founded by Félix Pigeory, a Parisian architect, who bought about twenty hectares of land with his private funds. The town first expanded on the heights of the Vaches Noires cliffs with villas built by the Empire aristocracy, followed by the construction on plots of land by the sea, notably with the creation of a casino. It then became a well-known family resort. The first municipal baths and showers opened in 1913. At the time, they comprised sixteen cabins built on two levels, served by two galleries that encircled a patio topped by a glass roof.

A large, luxurious home, its outbuildings and almost 5 ha between the Manche and Calvados departments in the Bessin region. The road gives direct access to the entrance courtyard.

The other outbuildings are set out behind the stables.
