The first comment was posted by me, Elissa Shaw, and I am certainly not the guardian. The guardian you speak of was let go very recently after over a decade of hard work and commitment the Chateau and her "bosses". Let's hope they find someone as trustworthy and dedicated as she was to watch over it. We all know what happens when chateaux sit unattended. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> And who ever said I didn't admire the Williams for bringing the 18th century to life?? I think they did a great job at creating a time capsule at Morsan. But... to really preserve it's history, it needs 24/7 care, so that time and mother nature doesn't destroy or damage all the hard work, effort, and money they have given to it. Really it needs someone like myself who has a great love of historic French buildings, especially ones of the 17th-18th century, to care for it (own it). I believe the Williams truly appreciate their collections, but are too busy to oversee their care. Which is really the sad part. And I too had the pleasure of meeting them at their apartment in Paris a few years ago. We chatted about the chateau, 18th century history and many other delightful things.

The 1st comment was posted by me, Marie Johnston. I am not the guardian for the property nor have I ever been. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I had the great privilege of visiting the folie a few years back - certainly more recently than your gorgeous photos were taken. I also took many photos of the house - some capturing what could be seen out the windows - where the worn and dilapidated condition of the roof is quite visible. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It is sad and quite telling that whomever the coward was who wrote the 2nd comment accusing the guardian used the name Scarlet O'hara - particularly given how prone to truth Scarlet was. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Truth is truth: the folie was once a gloriously restored testament to a life long ago but clearly the owners are in total denial if they even imagine that any historic building such as this can remain for years without maintenance or upkeep and not show signs of it's neglect. It's tragic actually, and pointing a finger at their guardien shows their true nature indeed.

The prior comment was posted by the present guardian at the Chateau who does not want the owners to sell the property. It's his strategy for keeping his job! Sad. I have been lucky to have met Lillian a couple times and greatly admire her passion and gifts for bring the 18th century to life with vivacity and charm.

It's a beautiful chateau...to bad it's not very livable and the roof leaks. It's mostly just a set with gorgeous 18th century embellishments. Some of the rooms are no longer decorated like that either. It would cost a small fortune to actually restore it to a fully functioning home.
