18th Century Mansion in a Small Historic Town — 1 Hour From Paris

On the market with Emile Garcin for €1,180,000 this 18th-century mansion sits in the heart of a historic town in the Norman Vexin, just 1 h 15 from Paris and a short drive from Magny-en-Vexin.

The property is an hôtel particulier — a grand freestanding townhouse, once the preferred city residence of France’s prosperous elite, with formal reception rooms and private gardens hidden behind discreet façades.

The property includes a central building with two wings, a barn, and a small garden pavilion. Inside, the main house has been carefully restored, retaining its period fireplaces and elegant reception rooms. 5 bedrooms — 4 overlooking the garden — offer classic proportions.

One wing has been converted into a self-contained apartment, while the other remains ready for future renovation. Former stables now serve as a garage, workshop, and storage.

Beyond the gates, a paved courtyard and landscaped garden frame the home, with shops and schools within walking distance.

This corner of the Vexin Normand is a gateway between Paris and Normandy — close enough for an easy city commute, yet surrounded by cobbled towns and countryside.

Historic villages such as Gisors, Écos, and Lyons-la-Forêt offer markets, cafés, and antiques; the Parc naturel régional du Vexin français brings cycling, riding, and weekend walks. Cultural landmarks — Monet’s gardens at Giverny, Château de Bizy, Château de Gisors — sit within easy reach, along with a growing network of farm-to-table restaurants and discreet Michelin-starred dining.
