Malcolm Forbes Slept Here


A few years ago we were wandering around the back roads and small villages of Normandy one afternoon and I turned the corner and I could see this sitting on the hill.  There was a parking area and signs for tickets so we stopped.  Nice little Chateau.  The building on the left contained the ticket desk, a gift shop and a small museum.  The Chateau was owned by Malcolm Forbes.  He bought it as a base when he was ballooning in the Normandy.  Nice little cottage for weekend getaways.
