It’s taken me forever to find this scene, but I absolutely love it:

I’m considering “Che Escargot” or “Oui, Escargot” now, but I have to keep the “escargot” part… at least for the garden part of the dining.

I get the feeling that, I’m only a visitor to the space, as my access to the estate is restricted to only the public areas of the house. This space, like the Gothic manor would have benefited from “additional content” similar to how the Mansion was offered.

Actually, a restaurant would be a great usage of this space. I set up a restaurant in my Paris Clocktower, and I absolutely love how it turned out.

Of course, since you mentioned L.A. Story recently, you know that you have to name your restaurant l’Idiot.

Nice video, by the way.

The shot of Terra descending the staircase reminded me of the closing scene of Titanic.

Unfortunately, the French Chateau just looks like a potential ballroom addition to the mansion. The only thing missing is some gold trim. I was so optimistic about this space after looking at the teaser image released earlier in the week. Somebody seems to have forgotten that a chateau is actually supposed to contain rooms. Imagine that!

And I completely agree with your opinion on the “bonus” fountain. It should have been the centerpiece of the garden, not an add-on for preferred clientele. Sony is just pushing this mansion hype too far.

All right that does it! None of you (Norse, Terra and Burbie) are invited to the opening night of my new restaurant “Le Escargot” which will be as soon as this new estate is available for purchase and I get it decorated. Please note, reservations are required at least two weeks in advance and garden seating will be reserved for the elite.

Alas, Home has yet to include a Viennese waltz or any other appropriate dance to our repertoire that would properly lend itself to such a space (or music).

(Meaningful stare at those who can make such a thing possible goes here, with a reminder that it’s never a good thing to displease me.)

I agree with your assessment Norse. Just went to see the space and unless it sells for only $5 and is a part of a mansion type project with additions coming in the future this is a no buy for me. I love the look of the space, but it has nothing special and I am spoiled by the Dream yacht. As a decorating nut, unless a space calls to the artist in me like an empty canvas begging for paint, I won’t buy it.

I had a tour of the Mansion and I loved it. I did however see the fountain so that makes a difference. It’s my understanding that one needs three parts of the Golden Mansion to get the fountain. However, there’s been some speculation on what may be included… or what people want.

That’s an excellent video btw although I shed a few tears because the French gentleman didn’t dance with the lady.
