Whether it is the celebrity draped promenades of Cannes, the naturally and architecturally beautiful Provence, or the historically acclaimed Loire valley, France is well known for its joie de vivre. The country’s relaxed way of life, renowned food and wines, along with good governmental facilities that comfortably combine traditional and modern means attract people from all walks – beach lovers, activity nuts, culture vultures and gourmets – looking for their ideal business or holiday destination.

French Chateaux

French luxury estates have long tempted those with means to experience their bottomless excesses. It is believed that there are an estimated 40,000 chateaux in France. A variety of constructions fall under the category of a chateau. This includes century old castles, royal palaces, grand family manors and estates, all of which boast of former historic credence. Called by various names – ‘mas’ in Provence, ‘chartreuse’ in Dordogne and ‘manoirs’ in Brittany – the cheapest chateaux start from €5-8 million and generally include, among other things, antique furniture, attached farms and well-manicured lawns.

Ownership of such neo-classical gems also comes with discreet added advantages like a fast-track ticket to the upper echelons of French aristocracy, invitations to haute couture events and memberships of high-end eclectic clubs.
