France and Italy are two huge art museums - every little village, town and city has such unique history and art works and historical treasures. You can literally step back into any age you fancy - Belle Époque, Napoleonic, Bourbon and or as far back as you want, it’s all there. Close your eyes to telegraph poles and other modernities and you can imagine yourself walking those streets in medieval times. Thank you, Stephanie, I LOVE the Chateau renovations but I adore these trips to other towns with their history. As I am now too old to travel I have become a vicarious, voyeuristic traveller thanks to you. Those cobble stones would have defeated me, as they did when I was younger!!

Love the bathroom in Stephanie’s bedroom! The antique pcs. are so fitting in the style of the chateau. I’ve seen chateau owners fit out their every ensuite in modern style .

There are many printed porcelain fixtures out there. The tile is also so cold looking.
