Welcome to HGTV's exploration of the magnificent chateau, where every corner tells a story of grandeur and history. From the original backside with its faded red bricks to the Louis room adorned with a portrait of Louis the 13th, the team delves into the chateau's past marred by the theft of original artifacts during World War II. Rather than succumbing to modern trends, they opt to preserve the authenticity of the wooden walls and stained floors, a rare sight in a sea of white-painted chateaus across Paris and the countryside. The gray room exudes a bygone era with chandeliers that once held candles, and a hidden gem discovered by Ian—a painted-over mirror hinting at forgotten elegance.
Marveling at the intricate marble work on the chimney and the serene terraces reflecting in the water, the team shares their favorite spots within the chateau. They recount the addition of a staircase in 1880, pondering the logistics of hanging a chandelier in the lofty heights above. Amidst the historical relics, a bust from 1773 discovered among the grandfather's possessions adds a touch of nostalgia to the tour. The journey continues through the covered terrace leading to the chapel, where original ceilings beckon for restoration, and stained glass windows crafted by Eid Deon in 1884 add a timeless charm to the sacred space.
The team's admiration extends to the Greek-inspired features in the chapel and the enchanting allure of the terrace, a favorite spot for couples capturing timeless moments. Proximity to a village church and a series of fireplaces steeped in mythology further enrich the chateau's narrative. As they navigate the long hallway adorned with doors that witnessed a recent Louis Vuitton shoot, the team sheds light on the pulleys securing chandeliers and the structural challenges posed by heavy marble bathrooms. A secret door hinting at hidden passages and the promise of future explorations into the attic and dungeons promise more tales of intrigue and discovery within the chateau's walls.
