The family of Belgian baron Alain Guillaume, who passed away in 2024, has put a centuries-old château near Paris up for sale for $22.9 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.
In the early 18th century, the Chateau de la Breteche was purchased for the needs of Louis-Alexandre de Bourbon, Count of Toulouse and legitimized son of King Louis XIV. The Guillaume family has owned it since the 1940s.
The building covers an area of about 1,500 square meters, and the grounds cover about 18 hectares. The house has 10 bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The first floor features a series of living rooms with Chinese antique furniture, and the grand main staircase was built in the 1730s.
The plot also has a number of other buildings, a tennis court, and a swimming pool over 15 meters long.
The chateau is being sold by the French company Junot Chateaux & Patrimoine.
