We round up some of finest French properties to be seen in Country Life in recent weeks.
Provence — €12,500,000
The glorious sight of the Château des Valettes — situated between the well known charming hilltop villages of Bar-Sur-Loup and Tourettes-Sur-Loup — is exactly the sort of thing people have in mind when thinking of breathtaking properties in Provence.
This castle has a rich history: it was the birthplace and childhood home of Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, a French naval officer who played a key part in America’s battle for independence from Britain. De Grasse commanded French ships at the Battle of Chesapeake, which in precipitated the British surrender at Yorktown that marked the effective end of the American Revolutionary War.
The 8,600 sq ft castle has nine bedrooms, six bathrooms, staggering views across the local countryside and an outdoor pool area that is the very stuff of Cote d’Azur fantasies.
There’s also a wonderful wine cellar with a stone barrelled roof, ideal for storing all the bottles you pick up as you trawl the local vineyards.
