Chateau Foret was built in 1860 and has been unoccupied since the 1990s due to a family dispute. We were extremely lucky to get in here, most people who have managed it before have had to pay for the privilege. Never thought I'd see it with my own eyes, thankfully we took a chance and it paid dividends. We were inside for about 2 hours before the owners turned up and we had to make a hasty retreat to the roof as they made their way upstairs. Luckily they didn't find us and we managed to escape after they'd gone. We managed to photograph most of the best bits so we were all happy with what we'd got anyway. What a place. Much of it is still in amazing condition although the top floor is a complete mess and falling to pieces (see pic 27 for example). Onto the pics, I went a bit vignette crazy with these but I quite like the effect on this particular set. Enjoy

Top drawer! It pays to go to a location just to see if its open or not, well worth the risk. Fantastic set mate

Some great snaps there mate! Still a great location even though there are a lot fewer things there now. That staircase is still one of the best.

Someone did actually say the words 'why on earth do we do this hobby' while we were there, although to be fair we were stuck on the roof in the rain with the owners directly below us at the time  :p
