Aubepierre-Ozouer-le-Repos, Île-de-France 77720

70 kilometres southeast of Paris, in the Seine-et-Marne department, an elegant Anglo-Norman style manor and its grounds. Hidden from view, the only glimpses of the elegant building from the street are its roof and two tours decorated with terracotta finials. Once through the wrought-iron gate framed by two pillars each crowned with a Medici flowerpot, a driveway leads to the entrance of the building, which stands in the centre of the grounds planted with high-branching trees and benefits from full sun throughout the day. To the south, a patio opens onto a lawn and the rest of the grounds. The construction, organised around a main building characterised by its Anglo-Norman style, is framed to the east by a round tower, to the west by a square tower, and has three floors built over a basement level. The faades are adorned with half-timbering and brickwork patterns, while the roof consists of small flat tiles.
