A large townhouse to be renovated, from the 16th and 17th centuries, with outhouses divided into apartments, nestled in the town of Falaise in Normandy's Calvados department. The property stands on a calm street. The old edifice was doubtless an important home at the time of the Catholic League of France - a major participant in the French Wars of Religion. As early as in the 14th century, this part of the town was home to the burghers of Guibray - a district of Falaise. Their land initially belonged to the abbots of the local Abbey of Saint John. Fairs were held here and there were many inns in this district too. The house was probably one of those inns. It is set back from a small square that still bears the name of one of the members of the Catholic League of France in Falaise, from the time of the French Wars of Religion. Nicknamed the Hôtel du Grand Coq, the edifice was later the home of a wealthy parliamentarian. It lies near Notre-Dame de Guibray church and is tucked away on a well-preserved historical street, a short stroll from specialist food shops and amenities. On the street side, the noble edifice has an appearance that is typical of the 16th and 17th centuries. The structure is more wide than tall and is made of Caen stone. On the court side, the building is made up of three dwellings that form a square courtyard, half of which was later linked to the initial dwelling. The edifice's rear elevation bears witness to the redesigns that have taken place over the course of the centuries: there are corbels, roof slopes and the remains of a tower that was reduced in height and which dates back to at least the 16th century. On the left, a stone elevation is coated with rendering in the modern part. Beyond it, there is a small outhouse with a slate roof and two small-paned windows. Lastly, with its back to the street and leading out through the rear elevation of the main dwelling, there is a former forge that has been converted into a dwelling. It has seven windows. From the court, steps lead to the back of the plot. The property's walls enclose the whole plot. In the central court, low walls demarcate different small gardens. To the right of main section, on the court side, there is a timber gallery that connects to the different apartments on the first floor.

An 18th and 19th-century chateau with outbuildings on 4-hectare grounds, nestled within the Pays du Houlme region and surrounded by the wooded countryside of the Orne department. The chateau de la Motte or 'chateau of the Mound' owes its name to the presence of an ancient medieval mound, today gone, the location of which was situated near the property's northern entrance. Built over 15th-century vestiges, which are still visible today, the current chateau was mainly constructed in the 17th century, while the symbolist poet Remy de Gourmont, a precursor to the Nouveau roman, was born within the chateau's very walls a century later. Three minutes from the nearby town, a tree-lined avenue of more than 400 metres leads to the property's enclosure wall, accessible via a stately wrought-iron gate, flanked by stone pillars topped with capitals, as well as an adjacent pedestrian door. Opposite, a caretaker's cottage watches over the entrance to the property, which is then followed by the former main courtyard in front of the chateau, while a 19th-century greenhouse was built in a corner formed by the chateau, a gallery and an artist's studio. In addition, a few outbuildings surround the former courtyard and, to the north, the grounds also include a restored chapel and an agricultural storage building. Lastly, woods, a pond and a former garden surrounded by water-filled moats extend to the west of the property.

Two 18th-century houses joined together to form a single property with a tree-dotted garden, nestled in the historical town of Falaise in Normandy. The road on which the property lies is currently being revived. It used to be set back from Falaise's commercial vibrancy, even though it is near the town centre. Today it has more life in it. Not far away, there is Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais Church, an 11th-century edifice listed as a historical monument. The home dates back to the 18th century. It is the result of two buildings being joined together. Plots like the ones on which these buildings were made often belonged to religious communities. At the end of France's Ancien Régime, many of these plots were divided up, sold and turned into homes. For owners, they represented investments as they brought in rent paid by the families living in them. The upper-middle classes of Falaise settled on this street. You can see this in the elegant appearance of the edifices that stand along it. Indeed, on this road, there are still sumptuous townhouses with gardens and courts. The property's street-side facade faces north-west. One of the buildings of this unified property has a second floor and the other one has a third floor. The plain facades, main of Caen stone, are rendered. The home's gabled slate roofs each have a chimney stack. They are dotted with roof windows too. On the ground floor, the left-hand building has a glazed double door and a garage door and the right-hand building has a front door and a window fitted with metal shutters. These openings fill the interior with natural light. On the upper floors, there are four windows in the left-hand building and six in the other. These windows were recently replaced. You can see their original surrounds of exposed stone. Further to the right, there is a covered carriage entrance where there is a secondary exit door. And at the back of the property, the ground floor has a half-open gallery with a terrace and an arbour. It looks out at a south-east-facing court with vegetation and a pond. Exposed Caen stone has been preserved on this side. From the secret tree-dotted garden, you can admire a view of a 19th-century building.
