Château de Brias, Manor house in Brias, France.

The château stands within the grounds of a 17-hectare estate, featuring multiple outbuildings and remaining sections of military structures from World War II.

During World War I, Marshal Foch established his headquarters at the château while directing military operations during the Battle of Artois in 1915.

The château served as a filming location for the 2004 movie 'Joyeux Noël', which depicts the Christmas truce during World War I.

The property remains private and closed to public visits due to extensive damage and looting that occurred during various conflicts throughout its history.

German forces converted the château into an air defense command center during World War II, leaving behind bunkers and remnants of aircraft taxiways.
