( all France / all International )

Located on the heights of "les gorges de la Loire", you can bathe in calm and luxury in this great 19th-century manse...built in 1823, and renovated in 1996 by a leading Dutch architect.

On 6.5 hectares of land (over 16 acres), bordered by a little brook, all the comfort and distinction of a fine estate greet you: tennis court, a covered pool, Jacuzzi, and a greenhouse with wine press, dedicated to the grape harvest of the small vineyard. Within the 10,000 sq. ft. main house, you can put your guests up in one of the nine bedrooms, many of which have en suite bath. You will also enjoy the large and gorgeous reception room for entertaining. In your quiet moments, take refuge in the library and its very cosy, soothing atmosphere...But if its work you must accomplish (and isn't it for all of us, sometimes?), a huge office provides you with all you'll require.

From the dazzling Master Bedroom suite, you'll be charmed by the panoramic Loire River scenery.

There is a small, free-standing "maid's house" on the property, and the secluded yet fully accessible compound is just two miles from the main highway. It's also close to regional and international airports: Saint Etienne (30 min.), Lyon (1 hr.) and Geneva (3 hr.)...and construction is underway on a new main highway spur which will make the drive to Lyon about 30 minutes.
