Bordeaux
A historical flat, with 75 m² and two bedrooms, in a 17th-century building, not far from Bordeaux's Great Bell. The flat is located within a national Historical Monument building, built in the late 17th century. The elaborate building, which was reorganised many times, is laid out around a central edifice facing the street, which is, in turn, supplemented by a small interior courtyard and an immense garden-courtyard bordered by a right-angle wing. As for its current façade, built in 1771 by the Laclotte brothers, upon the request of Joseph-Michel de Montaigne, it conceals the original buildings, constructed around 1697-1698 in all likelihood by the Roumilhac master masons.<br />On the ground floor, a stately, open gallery features three rusticated stonework arches, topped with a wraparound balcony supported by corbels and safeguarded by a baluster guardrail. In addition, the private mansion also stands out thanks to its wide dog-legged half-turn staircase, the walls of which are cadenced by small niches, while the flat, with approximately 75 m² and two bedrooms, is located on the second and last floor of this breath-taking building.
