FRENCH CHATEAU
The French Chateau provides a privileged view into the special world that lies within France's grand historical houses, a view hitherto afforded only to a selected circle of the French aristocracy and their friends. These stately residences are not dusty uninhabited museums, but real homes. Christiane de Nicolay-Mazery, herself born and brought up in her family's magnificent property at Montfort-le-Rotrou, takes us across France to visit the great chateaux she knows so well, giving us an intimate view of the unique way of life that goes on in them through the seasons. In the spring we attend a wedding at Jean de Beistegui's Chateau de Groussay.
FAMILY HOUSES
Everyone has a different opinion about the way the ideal family home should look. The different reports in this book reflect this variety of opinions: they range from historic country houses to recently built, distinctive homes for young families with lots of children. The same theme keeps emerging from these very different backgrounds: the sense of conviviality, the warm welcome, the informal, timeless character that each of these family homes exudes. These are houses that are not just there to be looked at – first and foremost, they are places where people really live: ideal environments for parents, children and guests.
