    Differentiating a castle from a manor, a daunting task?

    In the luxury real estate sector, the terms manor and castle often rub shoulders with each other, without it being clear on what differentiates one from the other. In most people’s mind, the castle generally refers to the feudal castle, designed to defend the town and its population from its enemies, while the manor evokes a large country house, as there are many for example in the English countryside. Nevertheless, to understand the true subtleties of the two types of prestige properties, it is necessary to conduct a semantic search and therefore to be able to establish a clear distinction.

    Le Corbusier, the story of a controversial architect

    Over 50 years after his death, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known by his pseudonym Le Corbusier, continues to be the topic of much discussion. With his postwar designs now classified as UNESCO heritage sites, he left an everlasting mark on the history of twentieth century architecture. Nonetheless, despite the widespread success of his work, the man himself remains controversial today.

    Livable barges on the Seine River

    Living on a boat, listening to the sound and being rocked by the water... This is the lifestyle chosen by many barge owners. An atypical lifestyle, which brings you closer to nature, closer to the water, and is in a way like a childhood dream come true. A dream whose price can quickly climb depending on the location, the surface and the condition of the boat.
