Exterior & Grounds

A wide-angle exterior shot of a French château photographed at dusk, with deep blue twilight tones in the sky. The main building is a multi-storey stone manor with a steep terracotta-tiled roof, dormer windows, and symmetrical shuttered windows lit warmly from within. The courtyard in front features a central stone pathway leading to a dark green double entrance door, flanked by two large square planters containing palm-like plants, with additional potted plants arranged near the entrance. Exterior wall-mounted lanterns cast warm amber light across the stone façade, and the wings of the property extend to either side enclosing the graveled courtyard. No people are visible in the image.
