You may not think that acquiring a Château is a practical thing to do,
but Philip Hawkes is adamant when he says: " at a certain level of prosperity,
you would be mad not to own one! "

Châteaux are the finest residential country properties in France, with lovely rural views, gardens and parks, sometimes with an estate, with fascinating architecture from every period. They are to be found throughout the many regions of France, so not only can you pick your style, you can also pick your region.
 

The unique value of châteaux doesn't stop at architectural style, century, or region: inside, they were often conceived as spacious family homes, cleverly laid out with fine rooms, each with period features, such as panelling, fireplaces, alcoves, etc. Many of the châteaux have been, or can be, sensitively updated to match our modern day comfort standards and our new ways of hosting.
