A restrained, symmetrical façade with pale shutters and a central pediment sets the tone for this manor house just under an hour from Paris. The property was previously owned by Karl Lagerfeld — who used the gardens for Chanel fashion shoots — and later by Princess Caroline of Monaco.
The house spans around 500 square metres, with reception rooms aligned along a central axis, opening onto the garden through tall French windows. Proportions remain consistent throughout, with parquet Versailles floors, mouldings and fireplaces preserved across the main spaces.
A dining room faces the park, while a more intimate series of rooms sits alongside, including a library and bar area. The kitchen sits apart from the main reception rooms, with a more informal arrangement. Upstairs, seven bedrooms each have their own bathroom and dressing space, with views across the grounds.
Outside, a 5,000 sqm garden extends from the house, with an independent guest house of around 184sqm set apart.
The property is currently listed on Plya Paris for €2.7m.
