Hi,<br>
<br>
I have to tag a number of what we call château(x) in French.<br>
The best translation I could find is château:<br>
<i>A country estate, especially a fine one, in France or elsewhere
on the Continent.</i><br>
(unfortunately and ambiguously, an fr:château can also be a castle)<br>
That is, a normal, but very large, dwelling.<br>
Old style, but nothing historical and even less castle (fortress,
defense).<br>
Also related to wine names "Château XXX".<br>
Hence, inescapably building=château but that doesn't seem to
exist.<br>
(and the explanation for building=house is empty of any variant).<br>
<br>
Do I go ahead or did I miss an entrance?<br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
<br>
