An exceptional apartment within a restored historic setting

Located in the center of Saintes—the historic seat of the Chamber of Notaries for over 150 years—this distinguished 18th- and 19th-century complex is undergoing an exceptionally rare, high-quality restoration.
Its grand entrance opens onto a charming, lush courtyard, leading to a building accessible via an 18th-century colonnaded gallery. Inside, the buildings reveal numerous heritage features that are being meticulously restored to revive the property's full beauty: cornices, ceiling moldings, wood paneling, solid wood flooring in the apartments, traditional terracotta tiles in the common areas, wrought ironwork, and fireplaces. Saintes: a dynamic "City of Art and History."

Just 30 minutes from the Royan coast and the Atlantic beaches of Charente-Maritime, Saintes is a renowned tourist destination boasting an architectural heritage spanning 2,000 years, including remarkable Gallo-Roman and medieval remains. Economically, the town stands out as a dynamic service-sector hub and a regional commercial center; it is home to, among others, the headquarters of France's largest consumer cooperative, Coop Atlantique. Nestled along the Charente River and its verdant valley, residents enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of this well-connected town, located just one hour from the international airports of Bordeaux or La Rochelle.

Combining the serenity of a lush courtyard, the prestige of local cut stone, and immediate proximity to the Atlantic coast, this development offers an exceptional living environment and a prime real estate opportunity.
