  1. What outstanding estates these holiday homes are. France is near the top of my list of places to visit in the near-term, and I would love to call one of these places home while I am there.

    1. The big ones can be circa €1m euros per month. Personally, I’d be chartering a SuperYacht for the same price and head to Corsica ! Best Dim.
