This French chateau belonging to Italian fashion icon Valentino Garavani is all my Francophile dreams come true. In fact, it’s one of my all-time favorite home tours. Published by Architectural Digest back in 2012, the 280-acre estate was built just outside Paris in the 17th-century. It boasts eight bedrooms and was decorated by renowned French decorator Henri Samuel. I love the Asian influences throughout—all those Chinoiserie wall coverings and Chinese export porcelain makes my heart sing. Below, explore more of the stately home and find my suggestions on how you can (on a more modest budget!) get the look.
How to get the look in your own home:
