Yssingeaux, Auvergne 43200

A chateau from the early 18th century surrounded by 3 5-hectare grounds in the Haute-Loire department, between Saint-Etienne and Le Puy-en-Velay. At the end of a municipal road, the property is accessible via a gate that opens onto a 50-metre long sandy drive, which leads to the chateau composed of four main buildings. With four storeys, including one built under the eaves, the chateau, approximately thirty metres long and ranging from 10 to 15 metres wide, depending on the part of the building, gives an impression of height and sturdiness. In addition, two of the four building structures abut a 19th-century edifice topped with a round decorative tower, while several outbuildings are also located on the property to the east: a two-storey barn with a floor area of 215 m per level and a two-storey dwelling of approximately 80 m, which is currently used as a holiday cottage.
