First, we explored part of the cellar, but went upstairs again quite soon as we were slightly freaked out by it being freezing cold and very dark down there!
Instead, we went to go upstairs to the other floors but found the staircase to be rotten and falling to pieces in some places. We were about to give up and leave when I discovered a back staircase that was made of stone, and therefore not going to give way if we walked up it. We managed to explore the whole chateau by doing this, and it is really the most incredible place that I have ever been to! There were paintings and drawings on alot of the walls and shabby looking matresses lying about in some places, so we think that artists might squat there from time to time.
At some point, I would love to either squat there or rent a cottage nearby, and spend all day painting, listening to music and drinking coffee :)
And when I needed a break, then I could go for a wander through the fields next to it or the forests that surrounds it all. Occasionally, I might come across other people, so I would quickly scuttle out of the way so as not to be seen by them. I would go up to one of the attic rooms and look out of the windows at all the amazing scenery nearby. Then, upon seeing the person leave, I would return to the room I was previously in and continue painting, and it would be lovely :)
I do apologise for going on and on about it so much, but you would really have to visit the chateau in order to get a feel for how incredible it is!
