Château Gabriel, Gothic Revival château in Benerville-sur-Mer, France
The château occupies 30 hectares of wooded grounds with stables, staff quarters, and maintenance workshops, offering views over the surrounding hillsides.
Ernest Saintin constructed the château between 1874 and 1883 for Paul Gallimard, who owned it until his death in 1929, followed by his son Gaston until 1975.
Fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé purchased the château in 1982, naming its bedrooms after characters from Marcel Proust's literature.
The property includes multiple leisure facilities, including an equestrian area and a helicopter landing pad for convenient access from Paris.
The interior features water lily murals inspired by Claude Monet's paintings, while the gardens contain more than 60 varieties of hydrangeas.
