Inside The Rothschild’s €180M Royal Estate in France… and Its Ridiculous Amount of Chairs

A magnificent estate with a regal past, Château d'Armainvilliers stands as one of France's most extraordinary properties now on the market. Priced at €180 million, this grand residence embodies the legacy of the Rothschild dynasty, offering an unparalleled blend of history, luxury, and exclusivity.

But, there are a lot of chairs at Château d'Armainvilliers—honestly, it’s a chair lover’s paradise.

In almost every room, you’ll struggle to find fewer than 20 chairs.

Whether you’re in a grand salon or a quiet study, there’s no shortage of places to sit down and take in the splendour. You could sit in a new chair every day for a month and still have a few left to go. It’s like they knew you’d need options.

Once a lavish retreat for the Rothschild family, the château stands as one of France’s most exceptional properties. Set in the picturesque French countryside just 30 minutes from Paris, this 1,500-hectare estate is an oasis of luxury, complete with lakes, gardens, and more chairs than you could ever hope to sit in during a single visit.

Inside, the château is a tour de force of grand fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and stately rooms—but it’s the chairs that really steal the show.

Whether they're grand Louis XVI armchairs or more modest but still impressive seating options, the sheer volume of chairs in every room gives this estate an almost surreal level of seating. They’re positioned perfectly, inviting you to plop down, relax, and pretend you’re royalty—because, let’s face it, with this many chairs, you’re basically playing musical thrones.

Outside, the estate doesn’t slack either, with stables, riding trails, and a sprawling park to explore—though we’d advise bringing a chair or two for when you inevitably need a break from all that elegance.

This historic residence has welcomed royalty and dignitaries for generations, and now, it could welcome you.

If you’re looking to invest in a home with a storied past and a ridiculous amount of chairs, Château d'Armainvilliers is waiting. Just make sure you pick a seat—you’ve got a lot to choose from!
