Show Notes
C is for Chateaux - of which there are 45,000 in France. I've always been quite fascinated by French castles, and this episode takes a closer look at how they're financed.
We all know they're expensive to buy and to run, so I looked into some exciting modern ways people are making French chateaux work.
Featured is the voice of Emily Jane Boeuf, the communications head of Dartagnans, a startup that uses crowdfunding to buy and preserve French castles.
