The Perfect Chateau for Under a Million

Vanessa is window shopping properties again.
I've mentioned the tremendous values in French vs English properties, usually in connection with castles.
As noted in the outro from October 2022's "Americans Are Pushing Up Luxury Real Estate Prices in Paris"
It's not just in Paris. Prices for French castles and chateaux are ticking up but still seem remarkably affordable compared to properties in England.

Of course Scotland is still the place for bargain-minded castle buyers.

From Messy Nessy Chic, April 6:

Let’s Window Shop for French Fairytale Homes Again


I’m in that mood again. Is there ever a bad time to go window shopping for French fairytale homes? The allure of quitting urban life, recruiting your best friends to go all in on the adventure and living out the rest of your days fixing up your French fortress with an endless supply of wine & cheese. There is certainly no shortage of castles and historic fixer-uppers in France, and here at MessyNessyChic HQ in Paris, we like to keep an eye on what’s on the market via a few of our go-to resources. So I thought I’d share the results of my latest sweep of listings for sale, a personal curation of properties for all budgets, from basement bargain castles to the dreamiest of spreads. Let’s go shopping!....

....MUCH MORE, as usual, she has located some terrific properties.
