We had black and pink tile and a pink freestanding bar - it was the times, but it's ghastly as I think back on it.<br /><br />I don't mind big, old homes, but these just aren't for me.

As for the dirt, I've heard that Europeans like it: makes things look old, more antique .... It's that appreciation for older things that makes me think I might like to get there again someday.annohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102616203481686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-72465006805463077852009-07-10T13:52:16.574-04:002009-07-10T13:52:16.574-04:00I can't imagine actually living in a place lik...I can't imagine actually living in a place like that!

I agree that it's not a good choice if you are only going to one chateau --but it's wonderful when you want a big picture of architectural influences.<br /><br />Your description makes me think that they have added a lot of cheap frills. Don't forget that it's quite near to EuroDisney, so maybe they want spin off visits?Mae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.com
