The chateau and its tower combine medieval, baroque and renaissance grandeur, the best craftsmanship of the region and modern comfort and convenience. The chateau is south facing, centrally heated throughout with mature gardens, a winter garden, green house, and a 6 x 12 metre swimming pool and terraces.}

_{The Chateau has two entrances. The grand entrance with marble staircase and an impressive stained glass light enters from the main street. The more homely intimate entrance known as the trademan’s entrance belongs to the older part of the property immediately proffers the comfy wax smell of a well-kept house and the welcoming luxury of shoulder height wood panelling. Equally charming, the trademan’s entrance is on a small side street.}

_{The iron work was conceived and commissioned for the construction of the ch‚teau and is of a fine hand-forged quality. The current owners have further improved the quality of the ironwork and lock smithery.}

_{The ceilings show a similar attention to fine craftsmanship. Several are of magnificent carved wood - another testament to the Count’s ability to find fine craftsmanship. In the reception rooms, bedrooms, several of the bathrooms, lobbies and vestibules, in fact the ceiling of almost each available space has been turned into a little gem of plaster and paint work.}

_{After the war the Count, having built the Chateau, left for the New World leaving his creation in the hands of his conscientious and capable guardian. It eventually became the guardian’s property upon which he sold it to a French diplomatic family. The chateau still has 2 guardian apartments which are currently successfully let as furnished holiday homes. The two apartments are included in the sale price fully furnished and equipped (down to the cutlery and linen).}

_LOCATION

_{The Chateau sits on the outskirts of a small town - a 13th century market town. Situated near a confluence of three rivers the town was once of political importance. It is still well supplied with professional services and merchants of quality. Whie secluded from the public, the chateau commands an outstanding view of the surrounding hills and farmland and in the distance the Pyrennees. Within the town are bakers, banks, restaurants and cafés, quality pharmacies and doctors. Larger supermarkets are within a 30 minute drive. Also within easy reach are historic market towns, munumental sites, skiing, the mediteranean coast and the natural wonders to be found in the Pyrénées and foothills.}

_{Next to the Chateau is an old disused thermal bath, developed from one established by Roman legionaries posted to this area under Julius Caesar .}
