Le Chateau de Chantilly has always been a castle that I wanted to visit but never had a chance to, despite the fact that I have lived in Europe for a few years, visited France almost every year and even lived in France for a summer once! Nevertheless, my blog has nothing to do with the actual Chateau (note the double “l”!) but it serves as a source of fascination for me to continue exploring life in that period, as well as comparing what has changed almost three centuries later, materially and environmentally. Although I love, love, love everything about Le Chateau and the lifestyle it represented and influenced, I have to wonder how long will uncontrolled consumerism survive and how sustainable is an opulent lifestyle in the world we have inherited today?
