Château de Fourchette, Historical castle in Pocé-sur-Cisse, France.

The rectangular mansion features mansard roofs and stands at the foot of a limestone cliff, surrounded by twenty hectares of landscaped grounds.

The castle was initially constructed in the 18th century as the residence of Duke Etienne-François de Choiseul, who served as finance minister for Louis XVI.

In 1980, Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger acquired the property and undertook extensive renovations, including the installation of Empire furniture and canopy beds.

Located 220 kilometers from Paris, the castle benefits from direct access via the A10 motorway and stands 3.5 kilometers from Château d'Amboise.

The castle grounds include Japanese pagodas, cascading ponds, and a renovated chapel, with hundreds of trees planted to ensure privacy.
