JACQUES GARCIA is not only a renown interior decorator but also a loving son (that’s his Mother pictured with him on the leopard skin sofa with their two Jack Russell Terrier’s OLYMPE and LEON, click to enlarge). Starting the renovation 15 years ago on the 17th century chateau in Normandy France has been a labor of love. Besides being Jacques week-end home, the chateau and it’s 94 acre garden’s are open to the public April-Nov. And there are plans to open what was once the servants quarters as a hotel and restaurant next year. Hotel’s and restaurant’s are what Garcia is best known for, having decorated the trendy HOTEL COSTES in Paris, the SPICE MARKET restaurant in New York, as well as the HOTEL VICTOR in Miami Beach. I love a man thats good to his Mother.
