18th-century French chateau accidentally demolished

[Treasure Chest]

Here's something to consider: Was the chateau actually significant, or just locally popular? If it wasn't important, and it got bulldozed, oh well. The world is not an attic, and a man can do what he wants with his own property.

It was historically and architecturally significant. It was built by Louis XV for his Mistress. Before he began construction, he filed for a renovation permit, which was the only permit he could get. The French are very protective of their heritage and the historical significance of their buildings.

Ok. I bet they live.

I'm sure no one will commit suicide over the occurrence, but it's sad that someone could be that dismissive of the significance of the building. He could easily have purchased something else and built his dream home, rather than razing a significant portion of their history.

You've got a point there. He could've just built what he wanted. Unfortunately, there's no accounting for taste.

Ironically, they were supposed to tear down the outhouse.....
The Queen and Madame de Pompadour were actually friends, with full disclosure of the fact that she was his mistress. Remember, marriages were arranged for allegiance and power, not for love. She's also credited for the King's signing of the Treaty of Versailles....I can't be the only one who's taken European History here!

You and my wife could chat for hours about french and ancient history. That is, if I can ever get her back in the same room as you in the future.

I completely and totally behaved that night.....until you two left...

LoL we are completely different personalities. She is quiet and somewhat shy, and talking dirty just wasnt ever something she thought would happen in public. I let her sit there and stew a bit while we were there, just to see what she would do.

It wasnt a good reaction like on our honeymoon, the group conversation turned to anal and her hubby was not willing to try it out with her, and she started working on me to see if I would step up and do what he wouldnt. That was an interesting face for my wife, she was half drunk and you could see the wheels turning, thinking that she couldnt have just heard a chick ask me to bang her asshole RIGHT in front of her and everyone else there...

I think I saw this in a Charlie Brown movie once.

No, that was the Chateau du Mal Voisin (The House of the Bad Neighbor). It's just up the street I believe.

Did they accidentily add a zero to the square footage because pics of the building and the lot after tear down looks more like 14,000 sqft than 140,000.
