Imagine my suprise when I passed it early this morning on the way to a brocante. A few of the shutters were open, the grass was cut and there were cars parked at the steps. So of course I had to get closer to investigate!
New owners!!! New owners at last!!!! I didn`t have the nerve to open the gates and go any closer ( especially as a few faces appeared at the windows to see what I was doing!) But,I could see that inside was awash with step ladders, painters and builders.
I do so hope they treat the old girl kindly................she deserves gentle care and attention! I hope they keep all her wonderful period features, but if not, believe me....I`ll be through that gate and in that builders rubble as quick as a truffle pig in the forest!!!
I`ll let you know what happens.
Dear Shirley,please,please let us know!
RépondreSupprimerI really hope the new owners will take care of this wonderful chateau!
Keep an eye on them!

I like how you put it -"I hope they treat the old girl kindly..." Being a lover of old and beautiful things I hope so too. Keep us posted if you can!
RépondreSupprimerBon dimanche,

I have just realised that if you click on the pictures you can see closer at the windows and you will see the folks inside looking back at me!!!
RépondreSupprimerI do hope someone is restoring it, but I suspect they'd need to be rich. I feel sad for all the sleeping houses where no one lives.
RépondreSupprimerI am sure that if they do not treat her kindly you will be there to ensure that all the house lovelies do not end up in a skip.
