ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring decor!
ReplyDeleteIs that the home from that Russell Crowe movie A Good Year?
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm inspired now! This is what I love to see. Absolutely amazing chateau and beautifully decorated.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that Russell Crowe movie yet, but I searched for some photographs and I'm quite sure it's not the same house. I admit it has exactly the same feel and it is located in the same place,Provence. But I noticed some outside shutters which do not appear in this château. I also guess that such information would have been on Sotheby's page!
Anyhow, thanks to you now I must see this film!
