Chateaux: Unique ways to finance them in France

Published: July 10, 2023, 6 a.m.

C is for Chateaux - of which there are 45,000 in France. I've always been quite fascinated by French castles, and this episode takes a closer look at how they're financed.\xa0

We all know they're expensive to buy and to run, so I looked into some exciting modern ways people are making French chateaux work.

Featured is the voice of Emily Jane Boeuf, the communications head of Dartagnans, a startup that uses crowdfunding to buy and preserve French castles.\xa0
