The early 17th-century Château Saint-Georges-Motel, is a 10,000-square-foot castle surrounded by a moat on a 235-acre property that includes eighteen outbuildings. King Henry IV spent the night on the estate before winning the Battle of Ivry that united France.[3]

In the 1920s,[4] the château was purchased as a summer house by American heiress Consuelo Vanderbilt when she was married to the French aviator and industrialist Jacques Balsan,[5] after her divorce from Charles Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough.[6] While Consuelo owned the château, Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a frequent visitor.[7] Vanderbilt's ownership of the château inspired her mother, Alva Belmont to purchase the Château d'Augerville.[8]

The château was listed for sale for $8.21 million in 2017 by its then owners, Catherine Hamilton, president of the American Friends of Versailles, and her husband, David Hamilton, a Houston-raised, Chicago-based businessman. They purchased the château in the late 1980s for $6 million.[3]
