Seen through a natural frame of pine trees, the estate includes the Les Paddochs (The Paddocks) area, where a herd of horses is shown grazing peacefully in the foreground. The chateau is a historic residence located near Verbiesles, with a name that pays homage to a 13th-century priory that once occupied the site. This photograph highlights the tranquil, rural elegance of the French countryside and the grand manor houses of the Belle Époque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (1919)\u003cbr\u003e\nCity: Verbiesles (near Chaumont)\u003cbr\u003e\nState or Region: Haute-Marne\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry: France\u003cbr\u003e\nTopic: French Chateaus, Equestrian Estates, Rural Landscapes, Pastoral Scenes\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: Circulated\u003cbr\u003e\nPostage: Unposted (Hand-carried or mailed in envelope)\u003cbr\u003e\nAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003e\nOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003e\nArtist \/ Photographer: Ch.

The message, written in French to a Mon cher George, is highly evocative of the post-WWI era. The writer mentions that the room where she is writing was once used by Americans, specifically referencing a Lieutenant and a Colonel with the flags of your country. This suggests the chateau or nearby residence served as an American officer's billet during the Great War. The publisher, Ch. Frerot of Chaumont, was a prominent local editor who documented the estates of the Haute-Marne region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003e\nGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003e\nGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46732046893245,"sku":"2976","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2976.jpg?v=1777814627","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2976","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
