On a Sunday morning in late spring, you open the French doors off the ground-floor bedroom and the smell of cut grass and warm stone drifts in from the south-facing terrace. Somewhere down the lane, a rooster is doing his thing. The kitchen is already flooding with light—it faces south too—and you're standing there with a coffee, looking out at the enclosed garden, thinking this might be the most at ease you've felt in years. That's the rhythm this place puts you in. This authentic 19th-century Touraine farmhouse sits just outside the village of La Croix en Touraine in the commune of Bléré, right in the heart of the Indre-et-Loire department. It's the kind of address that means nothing until you visit and then means everything. The Loire Valley isn't a backdrop here—it's your actual life on weekends and summers. The house itself is honest and well-kept. Roughly 149 square metres spread across the main building, with a layout that's been thoughtfully configured for real living rather than a developer's floor-plan fantasy. Step through the entrance hall and you're immediately in the thick of it: a large fitted kitchen that flows straight out to the terrace, a cathedral-ceilinged living and dining room of around 40 square metres with original exposed beams, stone walls, parquet floors, and a wood-burning stove that pulls its weight every autumn weekend. The proportions feel generous without being cavernous. In winter, that stove throws enough heat to make the whole ground floor feel like you pulled the house around you like a blanket. The ground floor also includes a bedroom with its own French doors—convenient for guests or for those mornings when you want to slip outside before anyone else is awake—plus an office, a ba ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in La Roche-Guyon, you open the east-facing garden doors and the silhouette of the medieval keep fills the frame. Coffee in hand, the Seine winds silver in the middle distance, and the only sound is the crunch of gravel as a cyclist rolls past on the riverside path below. That view — that exact view — comes with this house. La Roche-Guyon is one of those places that Parisians whisper about and then keep to themselves. Classified among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, this compact riverside village sits where the Seine makes a wide, dramatic loop through chalk cliffs at the northern edge of the Vexin Normand natural park. It's only 70 kilometres from central Paris — less than an hour on a clear drive up the A13 and D913 — yet it feels like a different century. The Tour de France has passed through its single main street. Monet came here to paint. The Rochefoucauld family built their cliff-face château directly into the limestone bluff above town, and on summer evenings the floodlit castle walls turn the colour of warm honey. This 135-square-metre house sits right in the village centre, on 457 square metres of land, and it comes with something you simply cannot manufacture: three genuine troglodyte caves carved into the chalk cliff at the rear of the property. One functions as a proper wine cellar, cool and naturally humidity-controlled year-round — the chalk walls maintain a near-constant temperature that any serious wine collector will appreciate immediately. A second has been set up as a private party space, large enough for a long table and a crowd of friends on a summer evening. The third doubles as a garage, big enough for a car and everything else a second home accumulates over the year ... click here to read more

Pull up on a Tuesday morning and the only sound is a wood pigeon somewhere in the old oak at the far end of the garden. The Charente valley rolls away below the infinity pool in shades of green and gold, and the stone walls of the house are still cool from the night. This is what you came for. Not the TGV timetable, not the Bordeaux wine list — just this specific silence, in this specific corner of southwest France, that you simply cannot manufacture anywhere else. Dignac sits in the gentle hills of the Charente, a département that most international buyers overlook on their way to the Dordogne or the Basque Coast. That's their loss and your opportunity. The village itself is small and unassuming — a boulangerie that opens at seven, a butcher who knows his suppliers by name, a bar-tabac where the dominoes come out after lunch. Real life, in other words. And yet Angoulême is barely twenty minutes down the road, with a TGV station that puts you on the platform at Paris Montparnasse in under two hours, or in Bordeaux Saint-Jean in forty minutes. The combination of deep rural quiet and genuine transport connectivity is rarer than it sounds. The house is a proper Charentais stone property — the kind built to last centuries, which it has. Thick limestone walls keep the interior cool in July without air conditioning. The renovation has been done with the sort of restraint that takes real confidence: natural stone floors left exactly as they are, oak beams cleaned up but not sandblasted into submission, original oak doors rehung on new hardware. The current owners didn't strip the soul out of it chasing a minimalist aesthetic. Instead, every room feels like it earned its character. The living room fireplace is the honest centr ... click here to read more

Stand in the kitchen of this 270-square-metre stone water mill on a Tuesday morning in late September and you'll hear the channel running beneath the house before you see it. The sound is constant — not loud, just present — like the building itself is quietly breathing. Light comes through the south-facing windows in long pale strips. The stone walls hold the cool of the night well into afternoon. This is Nonards, deep in the Corrèze, and once you've spent a week here, most other places feel faintly over-stimulated. The Corrèze doesn't get the same traffic as Dordogne or the Lot. That's precisely the point. The département sits in the northern reaches of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, spilling into the high plateau country of the Massif Central, and the landscape here has a particular quality — wide river valleys, dense oak and chestnut forests, medieval villages perched above the Dordogne gorges that barely appear on the tourist maps. Nonards itself is a commune of a few hundred people, surrounded by working farmland and nature reserves. The nearest town of any size is Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, about twelve minutes by car — a genuine market town with a Saturday morning market that runs along the riverfront and draws producers from across the region. You can be back at the mill with fresh walnuts, a wheel of Cantal, and a bunch of dried lavender before 10am. The mill sits on approximately one hectare of land, enclosed and private, with no neighbouring properties overlooking the plot. A stone-lined water channel — the original mill race — runs directly beneath the building and emerges through the garden in a wide, slow-moving stream shaded by mature trees. In summer, children wade in it. In autumn, it runs amber with tannins from ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Issigeac: the weekly market on Place du Château is already buzzing by nine, the smell of roasting chicken drifting from the rôtisserie stall, the sound of French chatter rising above the medieval ramparts. You're a ten-minute drive away, standing at your kitchen window with a coffee, looking out across a valley that hasn't changed much in three centuries. That's the kind of morning this property delivers, week after week, season after season. This is a barn conversion done right — and that distinction matters. Too many conversions in the Périgord sacrifice either the soul or the practicality, stripping out the stone to insert plasterboard, or preserving the beams while ignoring the cold. Here, the balance actually works. Exposed stone walls and heavy oak beams anchor every room in something authentic, while underfloor heating on the ground floor, solar panels for hot water, double glazing throughout, and a rare energy rating of B mean your running costs won't eat you alive. For a property of this age and character, that B rating is genuinely exceptional — most stone farmhouses in the Dordogne struggle to break a D. The layout is generous at 250 square metres, and it doesn't waste space on corridors or awkward half-rooms. The kitchen and dining room is the kind you actually want to cook in — properly fitted, with room for a long table and still space to move around it. A wood-burning stove anchors one end. The adjoining living room has its own stove too, and on a January evening when mist sits in the valley and the fire is going, this room becomes the whole reason you bought in France. Beyond that, a utility room with pantry storage and a guest cloakroom handle the unglamorous logistics cleanly. Upsta ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Queyssac. The kitchen window is open, and somewhere down the lane a church bell marks the hour. The smell of coffee drifts through the room while morning light moves slowly across the old stone walls. This is what you came for. Not a hotel lobby, not a resort pool — this. A house that has been standing for generations, renovated with real care, sitting quietly in one of the most quietly spectacular corners of southwest France. Queyssac is a small village in the Dordogne, tucked between Bergerac and the Périgord Pourpre wine country. It isn't on every tourist map, which is precisely the point. The locals shop Saturday mornings at the Bergerac market on Place de la République, eat confit de canard and walnut tart from the producers who've been showing up there for decades, and drive back through sunflower fields in time for lunch. Bergerac itself is just ten minutes away — close enough to grab a bottle of Monbazillac from a cave coopérative on a Tuesday afternoon, far enough that the hamlet stays genuinely quiet. This stone house sits in a hamlet setting with complete privacy. A dry stone wall wraps part of the garden, and a landscaped swimming pool sits outside with a terrace in front of the house that catches afternoon sun until well into the evening. There's also a covered courtyard — exactly the kind of shaded outdoor space you spend a lot of time in during July and August, when Dordogne summers run warm and long. A dovecote on the property adds to that particular sense of permanence you find in old Périgord houses, the feeling that the place has its own quiet history before you arrived. Inside, 160 square metres have been renovated to a genuinely liveable standard. The ground floor opens into a ge ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf starts with a smell you can't manufacture: woodsmoke drifting from the fireplace insert downstairs, coffee brewing in the fitted kitchen, and the faint sound of the Seine moving somewhere beyond the garden wall. It's the kind of slow-morning feeling that people spend years chasing and rarely find this close to a motorway junction. This is a five-bedroom Norman manor house in good condition, spread across 235 square metres, sitting in fully enclosed landscaped grounds with a south-facing terrace, a jacuzzi, two garages, an outbuilding, a workshop, and a paved parking area complete with an electric vehicle charging point. On paper, it sounds like a checklist. In person, it reads like a life upgrade. Let's talk about the house itself first. The ground floor opens with a generous entrance hall — proper proportions, not the awkward squeeze you find in newer builds — with a large closet and a separate WC. The kitchen runs to about 25 square metres, fully fitted and equipped, with enough room to cook for a family gathering without anyone getting in anyone else's way. A utility room with a sink connects directly to the garden, which makes returning from a muddy riverbank walk entirely civilised. The living room has a fireplace insert; the adjacent sitting room has its own fireplace. Two rooms with fires. That is not a small thing in a Norman winter. Up on the first floor, three well-sized bedrooms include a master suite with a dressing room and sink — a practical luxury that transforms the morning routine. There's a large bathroom, a laundry room, another dressing room, and a separate WC. The layout gives a family room to spread out without living on top of each other. The second floor ... click here to read more

On a warm Tuesday morning in Jonzac, you open the terrace doors off the sitting room and the air smells faintly of mineral water and cut grass. Below you, the garden runs downhill in long, generous sweeps — through a canopy of trees, past a woodland patch that filters the light into something almost theatrical — until it reaches the quiet banks of the River Seugne. A heron stands perfectly still at the water's edge. You can hear the church bells from the old town center, just five minutes away on foot. That's the daily reality of owning this five-bedroom geothermically heated house in the heart of one of Charente-Maritime's most quietly compelling spa towns. The property sits less than 500 meters from Jonzac's center, which puts you close to everything without sacrificing the sense of space that defines life here. The upper floor holds three well-proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom with a separate WC, and a triple-aspect living and dining room that catches light from three directions. That room connects directly to the south-facing terrace — the kind of terrace you end up living on from April through October, drinking Pineau des Charentes in the early evenings while the swallows dart over the garden. The kitchen is bright and practical, also opening onto the terrace, so cooking here in summer means constant movement between inside and out. What makes this house genuinely unusual is the lower floor. Two independent guest accommodations sit completely self-contained on that level, each with private access. For a family wanting multi-generational space — grandparents, adult children, close friends who visit for weeks at a time — this layout is hard to find at this price point in France. For a buyer thinking about income gen ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and you're already swimming laps in a 9-by-4.5-metre heated pool before the rest of the hamlet has stirred. The Dordogne air is cool but warming fast, the swallows are cutting arcs over the meadow, and through the covered summer kitchen you can smell coffee brewing. This isn't a fantasy borrowed from a magazine. It's Tuesday, actually—because when you own a place like this, every day feels like a day you chose. The house sits in the tiny hamlet of Creyssensac-et-Pissot, tucked into the rolling green hills of the Périgord Vert, a corner of France that still operates largely on its own timetable. Built in 2012 on a generous 3,725 m² plot, the single-storey villa carries none of the renovation burden that comes with older Dordogne stone farmhouses—no crumbling walls, no damp to chase, no ten-year project looming over your holidays. It earned a B energy rating thanks to full double glazing and underfloor heating throughout, which means winter visits are genuinely comfortable, and your energy bills won't make you wince. Inside, the open-plan living space does what good architecture should: it gets out of your way. The lounge, dining area, and fitted kitchen flow together naturally, lit by wide windows that pull the countryside views directly into the room. The log burner in the corner is less of a necessity—the underfloor heating handles that—and more of an occasion. Light it on a wet November evening with a bottle of Bergerac rouge and a board game on the table, and you'll understand why people keep coming back to the Dordogne season after season. Three well-proportioned bedrooms branch off a central corridor, alongside a family bathroom with both bath and shower, plus a ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Saint-Séverin, the only thing that stirs you is the smell of bread drifting up from the boulangerie two streets over and the faint clinking of bottles as the weekly market sets up on the square. You pad out through the conservatory doors in bare feet, coffee in hand, and stand at the edge of 7,000 square metres of your own French countryside. That's not a fantasy — that's Tuesday here, too. This is a proper Charente stone house. Not a ruin dressed up for photos. Not a weekend project. Solidly renovated, genuinely liveable, and built the way they built things in this part of southwest France — thick walls that stay cool through August, exposed beams that have held up for generations, and a fireplace in the sitting room that earns its keep from October through March. The stone has colour in certain light, going from pale grey to warm amber depending on the hour. You'll notice that. You'll stop noticing other things you used to care about. The main house runs to three bedrooms and flows the way a French farmhouse should — not rigidly, not in a straight line, but through rooms that connect to each other and back out to the garden at multiple points. The ground floor living and dining space anchors everything, anchored itself by that stone fireplace with its inset wood burner. From there you move into the kitchen, which is properly fitted rather than decorative, or into the conservatory, which catches afternoon light and works equally well as a reading room or an extra dining space when the table inside fills up. The main sitting room has its own wood burner too — this house takes winter seriously — and connects through to a study or music room depending on what you need it to be. The master suite oc ... click here to read more

Pull up the private drive on a June morning and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the absence of sound exactly, but the particular kind of quiet that only comes with 2.2 hectares of your own woodland and gardens wrapped around a grand stone house in the Vienne countryside. Then the birds start up. Then, faintly, the church bell in La Trimouille village counts out nine o'clock. And you realize this is going to be a completely different kind of morning. This is a rare piece of rural France — a three-floor principal residence of 293 square metres plus a fully independent gatekeeper's cottage, tucked down its own private lane just a short walk from the centre of La Trimouille in the Poitou-Charentes region. At €315,650, you're looking at a property that would comfortably command double this price in Dordogne or Provence. The Vienne département still operates on its own timetable, which is one of the many reasons people who discover it tend to stay. The main house has a generous, unhurried quality. Wide wooden floors run throughout all three levels — the kind that creak pleasantly and catch afternoon light differently depending on the season. On the ground floor, the living room opens through double doors onto a south-facing terrace overlooking rolling countryside. You'll eat breakfast out there far later into autumn than you'd expect; this part of France averages close to 2,000 hours of sunshine per year. The ground floor also holds a dining room, a well-proportioned kitchen, two offices (useful for remote working or, frankly, finally writing that novel), a bedroom, a shower room, and a separate toilet. Head upstairs and four more bedrooms spread out across the first floor, served by a full bathroom. Above tha ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in the Périgord Noir, you open the shutters and the Vézère valley just sits there below you — mist still clinging to the tree line, the stone walls of the house still cool under your fingertips. There's a smell of woodsmoke somewhere down the hillside. This is Le Bugue on a Tuesday in October, and it's enough to make you wonder why you ever left. This five-bedroom stone house sits elevated above the valley floor, its 3,400 square metres of grounds giving it a quiet authority over the surrounding landscape. From the terrace beside the swimming pool, you look out over one of the most quietly celebrated river valleys in France — the Vézère, which threads its way through prehistoric caves, market towns, and walnut orchards before joining the Dordogne near Limeuil, a village so absurdly picturesque it barely seems real. And yet here you are, looking at it. The house itself is solidly Périgordine in character. The exposed stonework isn't decorative — it's structural, original, the same golden limestone that built the churches and manor houses of this region over several centuries. The stone spiral staircase connecting the two floors is the kind of thing you'd find photographed in a heritage architecture journal. The fireplace in the 39-square-metre living room anchors everything: in January, when the Dordogne countryside pulls on a coat of frost, you'll be grateful for it. Electric underfloor heating runs throughout, so comfort is never a negotiation between atmosphere and practicality. The layout works well for a family or a group of friends. Two bedrooms sit on the ground floor — useful for anyone who prefers not to deal with stairs, or for hosting guests who value a little separation. Upstairs, three m ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Chancelade sounds like this: a distant church bell from the 12th-century abbey down the road, the creak of old oak floorboards under your feet, and the smell of coffee drifting through a kitchen that has fed generations of the same family. Step outside and the light hits the raised stone terraces in that particular golden way the Dordogne does so well — not filtered or softened, just honest and warm. This is what you're actually buying. Set just five minutes from the centre of Périgueux on a plot of just under an acre, this six-bedroom stone property represents something increasingly rare in the Dordogne: genuine substance. The main residence runs across three levels and holds onto its original bones with real conviction — wide-plank floors worn smooth over decades, a sequence of open fireplaces, and a covered terrace finished in pizé du Périgord, that traditional rammed-earth technique you almost never see intact anymore. It's a material that ties the house directly to the region's building history in a way no renovation could replicate. The layout divides naturally into two distinct living zones, which opens up serious flexibility for how you use the place. The main house offers four bedrooms spread across its three levels, with the kind of generous room proportions that older French country homes do so well — proper ceiling heights, deep window reveals, spaces that feel considered rather than carved up. Then, separate from the main residence, the guest accommodation provides two en suite double bedrooms with their own living area, all overlooking the grounds. It functions entirely independently, which matters enormously whether you're hosting friends for a fortnight in August or considering the pro ... click here to read more

On Sunday mornings, the bells from the village church carry clean and clear through the upstairs windows — and from the second floor of this 215-square-metre manor house, you can actually see the steeple they ring from. That's not a detail you find in every property. It's the kind of thing that makes you stop mid-coffee and remember why you came to Normandy in the first place. Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf sits on the south bank of the Seine, a few kilometres from Elbeuf and just 20 minutes by train from Rouen's cathedral city centre. It's a proper Norman town — bakeries that still close on Mondays, a weekly market where the cheese vendor knows regulars by name, and streets lined with the kind of stone-and-brick architecture that takes a century or two to earn its look. This manor house sits on one of those streets, on a one-way road that keeps through-traffic away, behind a large gate that shuts the outside world out entirely. The plot runs to 1,150 square metres, fully enclosed by walls — not a hedge, not a fence, actual walls — and the south-facing orientation means the terrace catches the sun from mid-morning until the light goes golden in the early evening. There's a carport, two outbuildings (one fitted with a rainwater tank for garden irrigation, which in Normandy is less of a luxury than you'd think), and mature trees that give the garden a settled, unhurried feeling. The terrace already has a sun lounger and outdoor table set up. On a warm July afternoon, with a glass of Calvados or a cold Leffe from the fridge, this corner of the garden could easily become your most-used room in the house. Inside, the ground floor is well-configured for daily life. The fitted kitchen connects to a dining room — a layout that actual ... click here to read more

On a still Sunday morning in Saint-Grégoire-d'Ardennes, the only sound you'll hear is birdsong cutting through the cool air and the faint creak of a shutter as light rolls across the garden. That's not poetry — that's what the mornings actually feel like here, in this former farmhouse on the edge of the Haute-Saintonge, where the rhythm of life runs about three speeds slower than anywhere you've lived before. This is a 230 m² stone house with five bedrooms, sitting on more than 4,700 m² of fenced, wooded grounds between the market towns of Pons and Jonzac. It's priced at €422,000. And while those numbers are useful, they don't begin to explain what makes this place worth serious attention. Step inside and the floor plan immediately makes sense. The ground floor is laid out for living — not for showing off. A wide living room flows into a dining room with a working fireplace, the kind that you'll actually use from October through to March when Charente evenings cool fast and the region's oak forests start smelling like autumn in a way no candle has ever managed to replicate. The kitchen has its own dining area, so morning coffee happens here, not in some separate formal room nobody uses. A utility room keeps the practical mess out of sight, and also on the ground floor: a bedroom, a shower room, and a full bathroom — meaning this house works completely on a single level if that's ever needed. Upstairs, three more bedrooms with original hardwood floors that have the satisfying solidity only old timber gets with age. A quiet study that faces the garden. Two large attic spaces that are currently unconverted — and this is where the real opportunity sits for international buyers. The bones are already there to add guest roo ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in Aramits, you wake to the sound of nothing except birdsong and, if the wind is right, the faint clang of sheep bells drifting down from the high pastures above the village. That's not a cliché — it's Tuesday. This is the Pyrenees-Atlantiques, one of the least spoiled corners of southwest France, and this former mountain sheepfold is the kind of place that reminds you why you started looking for a second home in Europe in the first place. What started life as a traditional bergerie — a working stone sheepfold used by Basque shepherds for centuries — was fully reconstructed between 2007 and 2010 into a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home of 160 square metres. The result is a property that has real bones: exposed ceiling beams, thick walls that keep summer heat at bay, and a large picture window in the sitting room that frames the Pyrenean ridgeline like a painting you never get tired of. Underfloor heating on the ground floor runs off an air source heat pump, the whole building is double-glazed and insulated throughout, and the DPE rating sits at C — solidly efficient for a property of this age and character. You're not buying a renovation project. You're buying a house that's already been done well. The 160m2 of habitable space is arranged across three levels. On the ground floor, an open-plan kitchen and dining area flows into the sitting room — proper, lived-in space with room for a long table when family arrives in August. Two of the three bedrooms are on this level, each with its own en-suite shower room, which makes the layout genuinely practical for hosting guests or renting short-term. The first floor landing doubles as a home office, a detail that matters more than it used to, and the third b ... click here to read more

Stand in the east-facing garden on a clear morning and you'll understand why Monet kept coming back to this stretch of the Seine valley. The medieval keep of La Roche-Guyon rises above the treeline, close enough that you can watch the light shift across its old stones from your own lawn. That view — that specific, unhurried view — is part of what you're buying here. The rest is a 135-square-metre stone house in Vétheuil, a village small enough that the baker knows your order by your third visit. This is not a weekend retreat you'll spend fixing. The house is in good condition, well maintained, and ready to move into or rent out from day one. The bones are serious: thick stone walls that keep rooms cool through July and August without air conditioning, original woodwork that no renovation has managed to sand away, and a gas condensing boiler installed to handle proper French winters. The character is already here. You won't need to manufacture it. On the ground floor, the layout does something increasingly rare in houses of this age — it actually works. A generous double living space runs the width of the house, with the dining room opening onto a west-facing terrace through full-height doors, and the sitting room on the east side giving onto the garden and that castle silhouette beyond. There's a fireplace in the sitting room, the kind you actually light in October, not the kind that's been sealed over and turned into a shelf. The kitchen is fully equipped and positioned so that whoever's cooking isn't exiled from the conversation happening ten feet away. Upstairs, three proper bedrooms — not two bedrooms and a room the listing optimistically calls a bedroom. There's also a study with its own terrace, a second smaller ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning and the Seine is right there — glinting through the tree line, unhurried, wide, reflecting the kind of sky that makes you put your phone away. This is the Yvelines you don't see on postcards: quieter than the Loire, less trafficked than the Dordogne, and just over an hour from Paris by car or train. Bonnières-sur-Seine sits in one of the river's great looping bends, and once you've spent a weekend here, the city starts to feel like the place you go to work rather than the place you live. The house itself was built in 2007, which means it comes without the charming headaches of older French rural properties — no crumbling lime plaster, no antiquated wiring, no surprises behind the walls. What you get instead is solid modern construction on a 1,500-square-metre plot, 136 square metres of living space, and a layout that actually makes sense for how families use a home. Ground floor first. The entrance hall opens into a double living room — proper sized, not the cramped salon you find in so many French holiday homes — with an open-plan kitchen that connects the cooking and the conversation. There's a master bedroom on this level with its own shower room, which is genuinely useful if you've got older relatives or guests who'd rather not tackle a staircase.

On a still morning in Aveyron, you step out onto the upper terrace and the land just rolls away from you — four hectares of meadow catching the early light, no road noise, no neighbor's roof in sight, just the faint ring of cowbells somewhere in the valley below and the smell of cut grass warming up. That's the daily reality of this property outside Villeneuve, and it hits differently than any brochure photo can prepare you for. This is a genuine Quercy farmhouse that's been taken apart and put back together with real conviction. The bones are original — thick limestone walls quarried locally, timber beams that have been in place for well over a century — but the living spaces read as thoroughly modern. Not in a cold, minimalist way. In the way that good renovation always works: high ceilings kept tall, stone floors kept bare, and new elements like aluminum double-glazed frames and remote-controlled electric curtains added without apology. The old and the new don't fight each other here. They just coexist. The 250 square metres of living space is spread across three levels and ten rooms, which gives the house a generosity you feel immediately. The original billiard room, now used as the main dining room, has a ceiling high enough to fit a mezzanine above it — a genuinely rare feature that changes the atmosphere of an evening meal in a way that's hard to explain until you've sat under it with a bottle of Marcillac wine and candles going. The study overlooks the full extent of the property and opens directly onto the large terrace-roof above the ground-floor extension; on a clear day you can see the limestone causse in the middle distance and the wooded ridgelines beyond. It's the kind of room that makes you want to actu ... click here to read more
