Chateau de la Bourlie
Chateau de la Bourlie

A little known fact and unusual for France: this chateau has remained in the same family for generations never having been sold.  Home to a flowery, vivacious and alternative family for more than 800 years... La Bourlie has been formed, revolutionised and modernised by every different generation that it has harboured.  On two separate occasions in fact, it was under the control of women, first in the middle ages and again in the 19th century: something that was truly unheard of in both eras.  Today it is very much in the image of its patrons: Cyril de Commarque, the artist… passionate about architecture and ecology and his wife the writer Ortensia Visconti di Modrone.  Both philanthropists, art lovers and bohemian bon viveurs, they divide their time between their house boat in London and the estate of La Bourlie to which they bring their own, more relaxed, 21st century take.
