Snail Manor

The Colimaçon Manor, built in 1919 on the site of a former farm building, bears witness to the region's rich rural past. The adjacent farmhouse now stands as the last vestige of this past, contrasting with the majestic aura of the manor.

Located in the heart of the countryside south of Melun (77), near a farm and a wooded area, the manor stands proudly alongside the TGV Sud-Est line. According to local rumors, it is now owned by an Iranian businessman who has been living in the United States since the 1970s.

The impressively large mansion boasts no fewer than 26 rooms, including at least four bathrooms, two shower rooms, and potentially a sauna on the top floor. Furthermore, a significant number of rooms remain unidentified, adding to its mystery and charm.

Built in the Art Nouveau style, the Colimaçon mansion is striking for its unique shapes that evoke the atmosphere of horror films. The red bricks, multiple slate roofs, and awnings give the whole a remarkable Gothic appearance, creating a truly unique and captivating experience for any visitor.

In a bygone era, the manor also included a water tower, now gone but leaving behind a trace of its former grandeur.
