Layered with memories, this sprawling family home—a principally eighteenth-century chateau, with some earlier seventeenth-century and later nineteenth-century additions, in France—was inherited from the client’s grandfather. “It hadn’t been touched since the s,” she says. “I chose Tino because I felt he would upgrade the house without sacrificing the spirit.”
Although the brief was to keep the big, rambling country house atmosphere and imply that little had been done, the project actually took three years. “It was a much bigger job than we expected,” says the client. “We ended up gutting the entire place.”

As the current chatelaine relates, its first owner was one Michel Bégon, a marine official and administrator under King Louis XIV, born in nearby Blois, site of one of the greatest châteaux of the Loire. He is not a major historic figure, nor is the residence he built of major historic importance, despite its location in the heartland of the French nobility. But his name lives on in the begonia, the flower discovered by the botanist Charles Plumier, whom he befriended in the French Antilles in the s.
