The doors of centuries-old French chateaux are thrown wide open in this sumptuous photographic cross-country tour. Readers will gain entry to a stunning array of stylish private homes within beautiful historic buildings, each one representing very different approaches to decor and preservation. When she discovered that nearly half of France's 44,000 heritage sites were chateaux in various states of repair, Catherine Scotto embarked on a journey to find out who, exactly, lived in these medieval fortresses and, more importantly, what they were like on the inside. From Normandy to Provence and everywhere in between the owners of these chateaux - including decorators, antique dealers, artists, and collectors - represent the epitome of French culture and taste. Each chateau is presented in double-page full-colour spreads that feature alluring interiors and information about the hosts and their design journeys. There's something for everyone here - whether it's homes where simplicity and minimalism reign, rooms as exuberantly busy as a 14th-century tapestry, or interiors transformed by surprising, era-bending feats. Morel's breathtaking, naturally lit photographs of generous kitchens, cosy drawing rooms, spacious bedrooms, ingeniously imagined bathrooms, and intriguing hallways and stairwells offer endless inspiration, while Scotto's engaging text gives readers a feel for the kinds of people who take on such a daunting yet satisfying challenge. AUTHOR: Catherine Scotto is a journalist and stylist whose clients include Maison Francaise and Elle Decoration, where she served as editor-in-chief. She writes for the Elle Decoration collection. 190 colour photographs
