Luxeuil-les-Bains, Franche-Comté 70300

An 18th-century chateau with around two hectares of grounds near Luxeuil-les-Bains in France's Haute-Sane department. From the village's main road, a tall wrought-iron gate and two wooden pedestrian gates lead to a driveway that stretches over roughly 50 metres. This drive is lined with linden trees. It leads up to the chateau's main entrance. The chateau has a rectangular main section that was built at the end of the 18th century. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. An extension on the east side of this original main section was built in the 19th century. It has a ground floor and a first floor. A former dovecote, two garages and a swimming pool complete the estate. The prior of the village's former abbey, founded in the 6th century, lived in this chateau. Behind the edifice, there is a tree-dotted garden that covers almost two hectares and is enclosed with a stone wall.
