Enjoying a visit to his old neighborhood (1984-89) on the French Riviera where he raised his children on the grounds of the Château de Castellaras.
The medieval-looking Château de Castellaras, where The Idiot’s children frolicked and gallivanted from 1984-89, was actually built in the 1920s using architectural concepts from the 12th, 15th and 16th centuries. Could have fooled me!
