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.
