A Regal and Elegant French Chateau Asks €11.5M

Live like royalty in this 18th century castle two hours from Paris.

 

Live like royalty at this French chateau called “Petit Versailles.” Despite its name, there is nothing “petite” about it, totaling 16,145 square feet set on almost 50 acres. To reside in this elegant castle and frolic in its gardens, it costs €11.5 million or $11,386,139 USD.

The 18th century residence dates back to the same time period as Marie Antoinette, the former queen of France from 1774 to 1793. Life in this palatial home seems like it can be just as luxurious as hers. Antoinette, who was known for her extravagance and lavish lifestyle, would likely approve of this home’s 16 bedrooms that are accompanied by 12 full and 15 partial bathrooms. The home boasts a total of 30 rooms with several reception rooms. Guests may “eat cake” in the dining room that looks out to the park-like grounds.

The grandeur doesn’t end there. In addition to gardens, the property has a 15-acre lake, 10 acres of woodland, and 7,500 square feet of greenhouses. This crown jewel is located in Long, which an hour away from the beaches of Le Touquet and two hours away from Paris and Versailles. Béatrice Pfister of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the fabulous listing.
