Château de Fontenay

Located north of Orléans, in an agricultural region called La Beauce, 70 miles from Paris, this impressive 16th century manor has been a landmark of the village of Fontenay-sur-Conie for more than 400 years.<br /><br /><div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;">A British art-collecting retail entrepreneur bought it completely furnished. But its rooms needed an update, so interior designer Tino Zervudachi and his team from Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi were appointed to fulfill the task.<br /><br /></div>If you'd like to read the full story behind this Château just go <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor_article?currentPage=1">here</a>.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/01_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/02_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/03_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/04_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/05_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/06_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/07_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/08_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/12_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/13_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/14_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/15_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/16_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/17_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/18_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/11_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/10_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2011/05/lord_of_the_manor/09_lord_of_the_manor.jpg" /><br /><br />Photographed and produced by Tim Beddow<br /><br />All images and information from <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/">Architectural Digest</a>.

Chateau Dior

Not much information about this magnificent residence. Beside location it just said "download pdf.". Well I did as I was told and downloaded pdf. but found no information there. Ah well, as it's a chateau, let's place it somewhere in the south of France, let's say in Provence, why not?<br /><br />This Chateau Dior is a dream. Its beautiful gardens, the ivy creeping on the stone walls, the pool with coloured fish. It even has a detached chapel. As much as I love the outside and the building itself, and all the antique furniture, I am not so keen on the decor. Especially the bathroom and bedrooms. Well dears, just see for yourselves and let me know what you think.<br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_03.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_03.jpg" style="width: 601px; height: 411px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_08.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_08.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 444px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_09.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_09.jpg" style="width: 658px; height: 450px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_10.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_10.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 445px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_13.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_13.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 444px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_17.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_17.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 445px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_21.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_21.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 445px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_25.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_25.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 444px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_27.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_27.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 444px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_28.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_28.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 444px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_29.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_29.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 445px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_30.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_30.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 446px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_34.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_34.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 446px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_35.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_35.jpg" style="width: 652px; height: 446px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_36.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_36.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 445px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_31.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_31.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 445px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_01.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.1st-option.com/images/locs/5269/max/chateau-dior_01.jpg" style="width: 648px; height: 444px;" /><br /><br />All images and more images right <a href="http://www.1st-option.com/index.php?locpk=5269&pages=stills_locations.html&cat=individual&cattitle=all">here</a>.
