Jacques Garcia Built a Grotto out of Boredom in the World’s Most Expensive House

In 1992, French architect Jacques Garcia purchased an estate in Normandy called the Château du Champ de Bataille, designed in 1652 by Louis Le Vau, who also designed the Palace of Versailles. Considered the world’s most expensive house, Château du Champ de Bataille comprises 40 bedrooms, five living rooms, two dining rooms, a castle, an Indian palace, a grotto, gardens, a Greek theater, and a greenhouse. The estate changed hands several times following the fall of the French royal family during the French Revolution. Later, it served as a hospital during World War II before it was abandoned. After owning the complex, Garcia restored the structures and built a grotto out of boredom in 2020, during the pandemic.
