Under the awning, a first moment of wonder

A period-style canopy, adorned with ornate ironwork, welcomes you. Then the double doors open onto a majestic foyer: moldings, medallions, glass doors with small panes, and a semicircular arch. In the distance, the antique hardwood floor draws your gaze toward a spiral staircase.

A staircase carved from wood, a tower steeped in history

The weathered wood, the curved railing, and the dark red cast-iron balusters make this staircase a true work of art. The tower, for its part, seems to guard this interior staircase as if it were a secret. Outside, you’ll discover an accessible rooftop terrace with a stone railing. Finally, an old well in the garden completes this scene from days gone by.
