For hopeless romantics only

You're among friends - you can admit that you've always wanted to own a ruined castle so you could dress in your fur-lined houppelande, light your candlestick, and wander through the ruined corridors of your (pretend) ancestral fortress while the moonlight glimmers through the empty mullions and the owls hoot softly in the wintry wind.
This ancient property in Picardy is not necessarily move-in ready, nor might it ever be; mostly from the 11th century, it retains a few features from as early as the 7th. It was reworked in the 13th, 14th, 16th, and 17th centuries, was abandoned during the Revolution, and damaged during World War I (Picardy was the site of many of the battles that have names you remember).
Depending on your tolerance for roughing it, you might be able to live in the 17th century gate house while you decide on the camera angles for the historical epic you're going to film at your new property. If you seriously plan to acquire this ancient place, you're someone I want to meet.
