I think I need to put this 18th century château in Champeaux in my top 3 favourites of all time. This home could not be more perfect. It is 600 m², 20 rooms, 6 bedrooms, with 70 hectares of park and woods. The layout of the gardens is spectacular, and there are many outbuildings – and orangery, a greenhouse, a stable, several pavilions that contain the official apartments and a hunting lodge outside the castle walls. I think I found my retirement home, or 50th birthday present if anyone was wondering what to get me Via Daniel Féau.
