In the past, Chateaus, unless for defence purposes, were vanity projects, for the rich to show off their wealth and allow a show of extravagance. And that is what we have today. An excercise in excess, which in the current times is not exactly appropriate. I think that is what grates with Lalande. It has become a tiresome display of vapid excess, consumption and decadence that only a few can afford to experience. My thoughts are , Honey, you do you, but don’t expect others to pay for it. You are not that original.
