Screen Shot 2015-01-12 at 11.43.13 AMCatherine Deneuve listed her Parisian countryside estate with Sotheby's several months ago. The French actress, YSL's muse and global style icon, listed her eight bedroom chateau known as Château de Primard, for €3.99M ($5.5M). The grounds were landscaped by Belgium based Jacques Wirtz (who sculpted he hedges of the French president, among other notorious gardens). There is no denying that this property is beautiful, but frankly, I'd get Jacques back for a little face-lift of the grounds, in addition to a little sprucing of the interior (see here). Interestingly, the listing has vanished from the Sotheby's site since the last time I checked, so I wonder if someone has already transacted!
