Chapelle Romantique

Converted chapel of a ruined castle in the Dordogne

Dutch designer Joris van Grinsven lives in what must be one of the most romantic spots imaginable: inside the converted chapel of a ruined castle in the Dordogne. Joris bought the ruin from the family who have owned the chateau for several centuries shortly after relocating from the Netherlands to France. He has since built up a solid reputation as the interior designer of choice for people who have bought property in that part of the world.
