Renowned designer Jacques Garcia who has designed hotels, restaurants and private residences for clients such as the Sultan of Brunei across the globe is known for his opulent style, to say the least. Having done restoration projects for Versailles and the Louvre, it isn’t really surprising that he decided to purchase 20 years ago Chateau du Champ de Bataille in Normandy for his private residence. It was in ruins when he bought it and he spent years restoring it to this stunning mix of of 17th and 18th century architecture and furniture with modern overtones.
