Recensioner i media

"Now, 300 years after the first stone was laid, a member of the family’s newest generation, Victoria Botana de Beauvau-Craon, has produced a book for Rizzoli, Château de Haroué: The Home of the Princes de Beauvau-Craon, that beautifully captures the splendors of the 82-room castle and surrounding 2,179-acre park. Designed by the prominent 18th-century architect Germain Boffrand, the palace has 365 windows, 52 fireplaces, 12 turrets, and four bridges, symbolizing the eternal rhythms of the year—and, implicitly, the permanence of the château, praised even in its time as one of the most elegant in France." —AIR MAIL"The most romantic chateau in France is revealed in a gorgeous new book out this month. The history-filled Château de Haroué in eastern France, is the style-rich family home of the noble Beauvau-Craon family, who continue to live there. The new book is written by Victoria Botana de Beauvau-Craon, the daughter of the current heir, Princess Minnie de Beauvau-Craon.It’s a gorgeous and very personal book that reveals the complicated and fascinating history of the family, the ancestors, the characters and stories of the region. It shows how generations of the family lived there, celebrations and events, and the rooms and private quarters. The house has been lovingly protected and lavished with care since it was built starting in 1720. Each turret and hallway and salon and corner is filled with art collections and signatures of lives well-lived, of connoisseurship and consistent taste and style.Superb interiors and details are captured in photography by the great Miguel Flores-Vianna ('Haute Bohemians'). Images styled by Peter Copping, the British fashion designer (formerly creative director of Oscar de la Renta) who lives in Western France." —STYLESALONISTE
