Once a fortified house, now a protected Monument Historique, Château de Filain is a rare opportunity to own a piece of French heritage outside the usual Loire circuit—just 30 minutes from the TGV with speed trains to Paris in under 2.5 hours.

Framed by the Vosges forests and at the gateway to Alsace, Rougemont-le-Château combines French heritage with the region’s wooded landscapes and quiet rhythm. Here, a restored 19th-century manor offers rare seclusion within easy reach of Basel, Mulhouse, and Belfort.

Known locally as Villa Saint-Martin, the property dates to the late 1800s and reflects the neoclassical architecture characteristic of Vesoul, a small historic town in eastern France’s Haute-Saône department—updated with subtle Art Deco detailing in its recent modernization.

Set near Lorraine’s lake district and the Vosges mountains, this 19th-century French manor house was built for Théophile Fenal, founder of the Badonviller faience factories. It comes to market at €850,000.

Built as a hunting lodge, this ivy-clad manor blends Art Nouveau, Alsatian regionalism, and Arts and Crafts design. It sits just outside Belfort, where Franche-Comté, Alsace, and the Vosges quietly converge.
