Saint-Paul-de-Vence – An Artist's House on the Ramparts

In Saint-Paul-de-Vence, some houses are not simply visited — they are experienced. Set against the village's eastern ramparts, this characterful residence was once the home of André Verdet, the renowned poet and artist closely associated with Saint-Paul-de-Vence. He left behind the imprint of his imagination, together with several frescoes that remain as fragments of an artistic story still alive within these walls. From the moment one enters, the stonework, vaulted passages, traditional terracotta tiles and exposed beams evoke centuries of history. Arranged over three levels, the house unfolds through a succession of charming rooms punctuated by arches, artworks and openings onto the surrounding landscape. Light flows freely throughout, gliding across the walls, revealing the textures and lending each space its own distinctive energy. Nothing here feels entirely still. The rooms seem to converse with one another, while the windows frame the hills like living paintings. A fireplace, intimate corners and beautifully preserved architectural features enhance the unique soul of this home — at once a retreat, a place of inspiration and a vantage point over nature. On the top floor, the terrace opens the house to the sky. From here, the eye travels across the hills and mountains, with a glimpse of the Mediterranean in the distance. As the sun begins to set, the landscape is bathed in changing light, appearing almost to extend the frescoes found within the house. More than a village house, this is a place shaped by poetry, memory and light: a rare and deeply authentic Saint-Paul-de-Vence residence, intended for those seeking not merely an address, but an emotion.

5,892 m² of preserved nature for a signature single-storey home

At the gateway to Bordeaux, on the right bank of the Garonne, the village of Camblanes-et-Meynac combines village tranquillity with a preserved quality of life. It is here that this plot of 5,892 m² according to the title deed (6,035 m² measured during the boundary survey by the chartered surveyor) is nestled, offering magnificent views over the hills of Quinsac, its church bell tower and the vineyards covering the hillside. Currently a grass-covered clearing, the land slopes gently and is punctuated by mature trees — cypresses and umbrella pines — which frame its boundaries without ever closing off the horizon. From its upper section, the view extends freely over the surrounding countryside and the silhouette of the village of Quinsac in the distance: a rare open outlook that the future house will be able to showcase. Part of the discreet “Le Clos de Bernasau” development and served by a private, tree-lined road with a turning area, this land benefits from a dense natural setting that preserves the future owner's privacy while retaining fine views towards Sainte-Eulalie Church. The buildable area of the plot (approximately 2,956 m²) permits the construction of a single-storey detached house, with a maximum building footprint of 388 m² and the possibility of installing a swimming pool. The remainder of the land, classified as a natural area, forms a genuine wooded setting protecting the surrounding landscape — a rarity at such a short distance from the village centre. The development's architectural guidelines, drawn up in consultation with the French Heritage Architects (the site lies within the protected area surrounding Château de Lagarette, a listed historic monument), require a restrained, high-quality contemporary design: light-coloured render in a “Gironde stone” tone, a green roof and a maximum height of 3.5 m. These rules ensure perfect integration into the landscape and overall consistency throughout the hamlet. A rare advantage for this type of land: planning permission has already been granted and is no longer subject to challenge, for a single-storey house with photovoltaic panels on the roof, a two-space carport and a 50 m² swimming pool with terrace, designed by Le Bris-Rol Architectes, as required by regulations for a construction of this size. All design, costing and administrative application work has therefore been completed — a valuable time saving for the purchaser, whether they retain the project as it stands or adapt it to their preferences. The plot is serviced: water, electricity, mains drainage and fibre-optic broadband have been brought to the plot boundary as part of the development works. In the immediate vicinity of the village's shops and transport links, this rare property is suited to those seeking a contemporary single-storey home in a quiet, wooded and perfectly preserved setting. Exclusive sale, presented in complete confidentiality — information pack and viewing available on request. Transaction fees, including VAT, payable by the seller. Information regarding the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr. Camblanes-et-Meynac is a village on the right bank of the Garonne, approximately 13 km southeast of Bordeaux, between Cénac, Latresne and Quinsac. Bordeaux city centre is accessible within 15 to 20 minutes by car via the D113 and the François-Mitterrand Bridge, as well as by direct bus. The village has preserved its rural character and traditional Gironde stone buildings, centred around the Church of Saint Eulalia and close to Château de Lagarette, an elegant residence listed as a Historic Monument, nestled among the vineyards. The surrounding vineyards, classified under the Cadillac-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, create a landscape of rolling hills that gives this part of Bordeaux's right bank its distinctive charm. With approximately 3,000 residents, Camblanes-et-Meynac offers
