17th-century priory in France converted into a medieval-inspired topiary garden
- amatecha 2y agoOne of my favorite things about all the awesome castles in France is their super awesome gardens like this. I only have a couple examples online, but: https://flickr.com/photos/amatecha/31188202017/ https://flickr.com/photos/amatecha/31188202017/ https://flickr.com/photos/amatecha/45215830245/ https://flickr.com/photos/amatecha/45215830245/ As if it wasn't cool enough to explore all the amazing castles themselves, their properties are usually basically works of art. I have to wonder how it would be to live in a residence like that for one's life. Super cool.
- bombcar 2y agoThere’s a YouTube channel detailing someone who did exactly that - bought a French castle. Apparently it’s both cheaper than you’d expect and way more annoying, too. https://youtube.com/@chateaudedampierre https://youtube.com/@chateaudedampierre It’s not “standard house” prices but I suspect anyone who can afford the more expensive parts of the world could afford something similar, if smaller. But it’s a ton of work even if you have the money.
- amatecha 2y agoOh totally (thanks for the link!), there's also a TV series "Escape to the Chateau" about this, and a followup series "Escape to the Chateau DIY" where the protagonists of the earlier series help others get set up in their new cheateaux :)
