Miniature Chateau

17th Century shooting lodge within easy reach of Paris

Charles Spada grew up with an all-consuming love of France. Some 5 years ago he set out to find himself a home in the French countryside and so bought this one-time 17th Century shooting lodge within easy reach of Paris. The lodge resembles a chateau in miniature. The ground floor is an enfilade consisting bedroom, drawing and dining room. The house looks over the Norman countryside; furnished almost entirely with French furniture acquired in Paris during Charles' travels in France and also over many years of collecting in America.
