Castle Bussiere is an exceptional property, a classified Historical Monument in Touraine, tucked away in a hidden valley off the beaten track. The ch�teau dates from the 12th and 13th centuries and was transformed during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The castle was first mentioned in 1234, probable date of its construction, in the archives of the city of Tours, and still has many traces of the 13th century.

It was refurbished during the Renaissance; its decorative elements reveal the magnificence of the period. Its name comes from the �Marquis de Bussiere� of the Maussabre family, who lived there for four centuries until 1936.

The main building has two round towers on either side, originating from the 15th century. Galleries run from one to the other on two floors and with three arches; there is a magnificent spiral staircase dating from the 14th century leading past the murder holes from where the archers shot arrows with their crossbows.

In the East wing, the oldest one, there is now an office with a window which formerly used to be the entrance via a portcullis. The ground floor has a superb gallery with seven arches on one side and on the other, a series of reception rooms. The floors are covered with ancient flagstones and the formal drawing room has a Versailles parquet floor with a �rose des vents� design. All the reception rooms have Renaissance fireplaces.

In the 19th century, the chapel in which the famous French author Alfred de Vigny was christened, was transformed into a white-stone main stairway which leads to the first floor gallery that has a marble floor and bedrooms on one side.

The four large bedrooms have kept their former character with doors leading from one room to another without having to use the gallery. The Royal suite, traditionally maintained in case the King paid a visit, is separate in the West wing. On the eastern side of the gallery are two bedrooms and a large suite.

There are six main reception rooms, one of them with the Versailles parquet flooring, a dining room, a �Chinese� sitting room (with a guest toilet in a tower), a television room and an office. A large kitchen (part of it in a tower), a large pantry, and a hunt (sitting) room with an exit. In this room, there is a trapdoor in the floor (hydraulically operated) leading to the 12th century cellar and underground passages.

There are also stairs leading to a two-roomed apartment with a kitchenette, shower and toilet, for the staff. In the basement, there is a boiler-room with two huge Wissman boilers, a linen-room, toilet and exit.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms with four bathrooms, two shower-rooms, five toilets, and dressing-rooms. The two bedrooms of the Master suite are separated by a bathroom and dressing-room.

The west wing consists of two bedrooms with bathrooms and toilets, one large suite with a bedroom, sitting-room, dressing-room, shower-room, toilet and kitchenette. The bedrooms and some of the towers have Renaissance fireplaces.

The attic is in perfect condition, with the ancient frame and the towers, the machicolations, walkways and even facilities of the period!

Outside, is a 19th century building used as a garage for two cars with a comfortable 45-metre apartment above. Stables containing two boxes are attached, behind is the pool-house with a toilet, swimming-pool machinery and a heated swimming-pool with palm-trees along a stone alley.

There is a large stone table under the mulberry trees where one can have meals listening to the fountain playing and drinking icy water straight from the source!

The park can be lit up at night; the huge entrance gate (surmounted with the crown of the �marquis�) is opened and closed by remote control.

The second stable has four large boxes, a hot-water shower for the horses, a solarium, old-style tack-room and grooming quarters. The tennis-court has temporarily been converted into a 40 x 20 metre outdoor riding school.

An 18th century farm, visible from the drawing-room windows, has been restored on the outside only and has a 200 square-metre surface.

At the bottom of the fields is a small lake fed by a source (discovered in the Middle Ages). Water comes entirely from three wells connected to a source dating back to the Middle Ages.

The property consists of thirty hectares (roughly 70 acres) of cleared woods and fields all around the buildings.

The chateau is situated in the southern part of the Touraine area 250 km from Paris one hour on the express TGV train and 55 minutes from Roissy airport. It is one hour from both Paris and Tours Nord airports and the closest town is 5km away and has an international school.

Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes 

Saturday 4 December : Saturday 11 December : Saturday 18 December : Saturday 25 December
.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You have a tendency to bite off more than you can chew. Don't accept an assignment if you don't have the requisite background. You're better off letting an expert take charge of the proceedings. Remember, your reputation is on the line. If you really want to learn about this field, serve as a teacher's apprentice. You hate playing second banana to anyone, but sometimes it's the only way to get the experience you need. Leave your ego at the door.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Although it's admirable you have such lofty dreams, you lack the funds to realise them. At some point, you need to decide which is more important: living comfortably or satisfying your heart. It won't hurt you to forgo luxuries for an extended period of time. In fact, it might be good for you. In the past, you've had a tendency to numb your senses with creature comforts. Contrary to what you might think, you can survive and even thrive without them.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) It's important to remember you're not your lover's parent. Trying to control their behaviour will only create anger and resentment. You may think their plans are destined for disaster, but everyone is entitled to dream big once in a while. By offering support instead of criticism, you'll experience a satisfying breakthrough. Besides, it's possible all of your concerns are totally unwarranted. You have to admit you have a tendency to overanalyse things. Let your friend follow their heart and see where it leads.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) People aren't receptive to your suggestions, which is really hurtful. Instead of trying to impose your methods on an unwilling audience, go your own way. Develop a project which has strong personal meaning for you. Do the bare minimum at work or you'll just end up wasting a lot of valuable energy on people who don't deserve it. You've got to be more discriminating about how you spend your talent. Stop throwing your pearls to swine.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Sex can cloud your judgement. Just because things are physically intense between you and a lover doesn't mean you have a healthy relationship. In fact, a toxic dynamic can be arousing. Some people find danger stimulating. If that's the case for you, maybe you need to find excitement in other areas of life. Taking creative risks is preferable to putting your heart in jeopardy. Go on an audition, submit a story for publication, or show your artwork to a gallery owner.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Family may disapprove of an intimate relationship. Instead of discounting their concerns, consider whether they are valid. It's possible you've given too much power to a friend, lover, or business partner. While your generous instincts are admirable, they could get you in trouble. Remember, the opening phases of a partnership set the tone for future trends. If you establish yourself as a soft touch, your partner will assume they can always take advantage of you. That's not the impression you want to give!
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Beware of overanalysing a relationship. Sometimes you need to go with the flow. If you feel like things have been going too far and too fast with a lover, slow down. Turn your attention inward. You have a tendency to neglect your creative talent when you fall in love. Don't make that mistake this time around. By expressing your artistic side, you'll avoid the pitfalls that tripped you up in the past. Are you already in a relationship? Don't let your partner dominate you.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Lording your principles over others will alienate you from the group. Just because you feel strongly about certain issues doesn't mean everyone should embrace the same position. In fact, it's healthier for you to mix with a wide variety of people. This will give you a better perspective on how the world really operates. Too often, you make assumptions about how people should think and act. This has caused problems in both your personal and professional lives. Open your mind.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You're feeling charitable towards someone who really doesn't deserve your help. Think back on this character's past behaviour. Do they have a history of taking advantage of others? Have they made promises they didn't keep? The best way to judge a person's character is by what they do, not what they say. Anyone can promise results, but few can deliver them. Be choosy about who you trust, or you'll be hurt. True friendship is worth the wait.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A smooth talking executive will pull the wool over your eyes if you're not careful. Take their claims about a new business with a pinch of salt. This manipulator is looking for an investor for their latest venture. There are better things to do with your hard earned cash. You'll know you are dealing with someone untrustworthy if they try to lay a guilt trip on you. There's no reason you should feel pressured into funding their pet project.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Just because you're not materialistic doesn't mean you should be irresponsible about money. People are counting on you to make the most of your earnings. By putting a set percentage of your income into savings, you'll spare your loved ones a lot of anxiety. It will also stop you having to take stressful jobs. You're the type who needs work that gives you lots of intellectual stimulation. Drudgery dulls your senses and saps your energy. You won't have to take such jobs on if you're frugal.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Promising more than you can deliver will get you in trouble with your boss. It will also compromise your professional reputation. Be very conservative when giving estimates. This may drive a few customers away, but the majority will agree to your terms. Looking for work? Be realistic about your expectations. It may be necessary to start at the bottom of a big organisation. Getting the top spot right out of the gate simply isn't possible in this economy. You need to prove yourself.
