What is extraordinary is that the chateau was saved and not destroyed during the revolution. And of course the subsequent world wars. It begs to be saved and have new life breathed into it.

Which life ? Who wants to live in a castle apparts from people who never experienced it and imagine that it is great. Living in a castle is very impractical. Even if you run it as a hotel/historical monument/event location competiting with other castle will be a real challenge. There is a reason why this castle is for sale: It is crap (Compare to the ton of other castle available in France)

Mary Clingman would need to see that tub in person to decide but I don’t believe they made tubs that big in the 20th century. Now the outside of the tub was painted the same as the wall and that was done ALOT in the US during the late 20s and 30s to spiff up older or damaged tubs. The French had their own monetary issues during that time so my guess would be the tub was much older and when plumbing was updated the tub got a coat of paint. That tub was either new old stock lol or an very old tub. The other fixtures are 20s most likely because by the time of financial recovery France was recovering from WWII

Yes, Lucie and her husband Frederic loved Le Bouilh but they mostly lived at Versailles where she was a lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette and her father in law was the Minister of war. They returned to Le Bouilh after the elder Comte was guillotined but found the chateau sealed and the furniture plundered . Frederic remained in hiding on the property (with a loyal staffer) while Lucie, the children and their nanny etc lived in Bordeaux and arranged their voyage to North America. When the family returned to France, Lucie was invited to join the court of Napoleon and the Comte de Gouvernet became a diplomat. They later settled in Italy and never returned to Le Bouilh and the chateau passed to a different branch of the family.

Oh how I'd love to see that place filled with guests, a good restaurant near the original kitchen, the vineyard in full use, beautiful garden (kitchen garden and flower garden, maybe lemons and well). Weddings and birthday parties. One proud owner

"..... Duchesse du Barry, hid there during the French revolution which did cost to the owner... his head! Luckily it was preserved and did make its way through the ages and centuries. " Oh no, I read this initially that the head was preserved ! .... Wonderful place, so many of the Leggett properties are.

Absolutely delightful... but the cost to bring things like electric up to code! I suppose if one wanted to create a hotel/b&b, it would be a one-room-at-a-time project, probably starting with the kitchen!

This should be bought and opened as a museum like Versailles. If i owned this i’d feel bad moving one furniture from its place. Aside of the architectural treasure. The objects! The paintings, the decorations, furnitures, mirrors, bustes worth a gold mine

This is stunning! I am from America and we don't have too many places like this and what we did have was torn down and the same goes for the UK, a lot of their mansions and castles we blown up because they either fell into ruin or the upkeep was too much. It would take several millions of dollars to restore this on top of being not being rich but super-rich because the taxes will eat you alive on a place like this. The first thing that would need to be fixed is the foundation followed by the floors, roofing, any electrical wiring, plumbing, ceilings, and walls. You can tell the floors are in very bad shape because the squeaking comes from the natural settling and age, but the crunching sound is from dry rot/termites or both

Buy the castle into a corporation and run the estate as business. There is tons of ways to avoid taxation if you are well informed and smart in France.

If I bought it, I wouldn't do anything to modernize it other than put electric in, but use low wattage, low UV lighting to preserve the color of the paint, then I would restore the original paintwork. I would put a kitchen and bsthroom, but make it a seperate wing in the center of the arch way, and connect it through a walkway. It would match the architecture of the rest of the chatue along with the roof. To further preserve the building I would install AC, and then place UV windows to further preserve the original interior.
