Our values In addition to the values of trust, respect for tradition, honesty and professionalism that characterize all areas of the Groupe Mercure, Mercure has always endeavored to make the protection and safeguarding of the heritage a key issue. Driven by a passion for the French historical and architectural heritage, not only for the castles and their history, but including mansions and their character or the charm of a farmhouse, a mill, or a large house, the Groupe Mercure is a patron since 2003 to private owners, giving the GROUPE MERCURE – V.M.F. (Vieilles Maisons FrançaisesOld French Houses) prize which recognizes and awards the successful restoration of a character property. In accordance to the above and with 75 years experience, 11 years of patronage and customer demand, the Mercure Groupe has published the «Guide for the Preservation of French Architectural Heritage», allowing each owner to be accompanied in the renovation and maintenance of their property in order to give more value to the family property in compliance to the rules of French architecture.

A family story MERCURE was bought in 1980 by Pierre Chassaigne, as Chairman he has continued to develop over the years and opportunities. It’s today a unique and reputed real estate group existing with 20 regional offices located throughout France. The development of the Groupe Mercure has always been in a «family spirit»: a familiar and friendly environment guided by values of trust, respect for tradition, honesty and professionalism, in a clearly defined legal framework. It is also a story of passion in continuity. In the image of history of property where each generation strives to perpetuate a unique heritage yet allowing growth and evolution, Pierre Chassaigne appoints in April 2010 his daughter Anne de la Sauzay, previously Director of Mercure Midi-Pyrénées, to the position of Managing Director of the Group with Pierre Chassaigne remaining President.
