Anna and Edward
Originally a castle protected by a moat, this is the biggest château in the Bordeaux area. The vast medieval building gets its name from “The Great Gorce” a type of vegetation which grew in this region of France around the beginning of the 16th century.
The Château embodies everything they had envisioned during their search for properties in France. From its grandeur to its character and charm, it fulfilled their desires and surpassed their expectations. As the centerpiece of their new life, it symbolises the beginning of their journey towards their dream
lifestyle in France.
Chris and Jolyon
Chris and Jolyon met when they used to work for the Foreign Office in 2008. Since they were kids, they both separately always dreamed of owning a Château, but never thought their dream could become a reality.
Julia and Paul McKeivor established Billard Room Ltd in 1993 and have been restoring bespoke antique billiard, snooker and pool tables in the Mendips hills of Somerset for thirty years. The ethos of the company has been organic, stemming from Paul’s love of billiards and snooker competition participation in the 1980’s.
Trish moved to Paris from America in 2008 for work and after more than a decade in the city, she was ready for a change. The first COVID lockdown was the push she needed to sell her small Parisian apartment and find a house in the suburbs.

Nick and Nicole
Nick is half-French and Nicole is Swedish by origin. One of the reasons for moving is for a lifestyle change. They’re looking forward to moving away from the city and going back to nature. One of the plans they have for the Château is to create amazing experiences for people to reconnect with themselves and go back to their roots.
