Château d'Aubiry

Céret, France

Industrial Frenchman Pierre Bardou-Job became wealthy selling rolling paper and decided to have a château built for each of his three children. All designed by the Danish architect Viggo Dorph-Petersen, the Château d'Aubiry was for his son Justin and built from 1893 to 1904. Pierre Bardou-Job himself never saw it, as he died suddenly in 1892 just before the start of the construction. The palace has an Art Nouveau style interior. The English park has pavilions, a swimming pool, terraces and greenhouses.

Unfortunately this castle part of the Job's family heritage is in a bad state and rusty ... such a shame to leave it to die ! Same remarks for the cellar buildings nearby Irritating

Le château n est visible que de l extérieur. C est dommage qu un tel joyau ne soit visible sue par sa parure extérieure et que son écrin intérieur soit résolument fermé au public. De plus, de loin, les serres, même dzns un état déplorables, sont ourement majestueuses, à hauteur de leur maître d oeuvre qu est Eiffel..

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
