The south-west Marnais is a region of hillsides and vineyards (the Coteaux Sézannais have been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2015), forests and marshes, between valleys and plains, wrapped around a charming medieval town that has become a Petite Cité de Caractère®: Sézanne.

From the street, you enter the property from the courtyard. A paved courtyard, typical of eighteenth-century private mansions, embellished with a rose garden of white roses and an avenue of palms, box and yew trees.
On the other side, the garden with its magnificent boxwood embroidery. It took 1,200 boxwood plants to create it. This is the centrepiece of the garden, inspired by the Treatise of Argenville, an 18th-century landscape gardener and collaborator of André Le Nôtre. The axis of the garden is laid out in the French style, with English-style flowerbeds to accommodate a variety of living plants.
Two ponds complete the enchanting harmony of the setting. There's an air of Versailles about this residence in the heart of town...
