Looking to make the ultimate gesture of love on Valentine’s Day?

Calling all true romantics out there who may be looking to make the ultimate gesture of love on Valentine’s Day this year. Leggett Immobilier has the answer with the fairytale ‘Chateau of Love’ – a stunning, unique 19th century Gothic chateau – perfect for any Prince Charming and his one true love.

Set in 14 acres of Charente parkland, this beautiful chateau has foundations and parts of the building which date back to the 16th century. The chateau was lovingly restored in the early 1900’s by Henri Blanc Fontenille, using the services of architect Paul Abadie and sculptor Ernest Jordes. The restoration was a labour of love by Henri for his wife Jane, with evidence of his passion throughout the chateau in the carved, entwined H and J initials on the fireplaces, facades and walls along with several beautiful sculptures.

The Chateau embraces the love between Henri and Jane – this gesture of love spread throughout the region, hence the chateau’s nickname, the ‘Chateau of Love’.

The Chateau that also once played host to General Charles de Gaulle, is full of history, charm and character. It was renovated in 2007 to its former romantic splendour and magical style with amazing stone fireplaces, sweeping staircases, magnificent carvings and tiled floors. On the market for €2,968,000, this chateau is bound to set ‘hearts a fluttering’ on Valentine’s Day.
