#9 - The fairy tale Chateau de Gudanes

What if you were to browse the internet and see a photo of a
neglected castle in the south of France, a ruin for sure but with
a faded grandeur that pulls at your heart strings… 

Would you be tempted to give up your dream of a little house in
the country and throw everything you have into restoring the
castle to its former glory? Live without electricity. Chop wood
to keep the fire going so you don’t freeze in winter as the snow
falls all around and the bitter wind blows down from the Pyrenees
Mountains. Give up your comfy life and a good job in Perth,
Australia. Learn how to speak French and take on the mother of
all restorations? 

That’s what Karina Waters and her family did when they bought the
Chateau de Gudanes – a real life sleeping beauty that’s now been
brought back to life.

This is an extraordinary story, one that has captured the
imagination of millions around the world
