LA has its fair share of chateau-inspired architecture and during a recent outing these style of apartment buildings really inspired me. I have created two versions; one with and one without the rooftop sign (very common here in Los Angeles). - Stage 6 R$$$ - Chicago tileset - 2x3 lots - DarkNite versions only - No dependencies- 6 Reviews

Port de Caravella: Château des Pins
Krisman posted a City Journal entry in Principauté de Caravella-Guatalaga
Château des Pins [VIEW POINT; MUSEUM] The Château des Pins is one of the oldest structures in Principauté de Caravella-Guatalaga. Today, only the foundation of the castle remains but for centuries this stronghold protected the entrance to Baie d'Caravella (Caravella Bay). The castle was built in the 18th century when Port de Caravella became a blooming trade port with ships seeking safety from the gusting winds and storms of the Atlantic Ocean. After several modifications, the characteristic gun placement was added in the beginning of the 19th century. The decay of the castle started in the 20th century with various storms weakening the structure. After a partial collapse in 1911, the local government decided the tear down the castle to prevent accidents. In 1992 a local group of archaeologists started the excavate the area, discovering various artefacts and that the foundation of the castle was still intact. In 2008 the government started with a project to open up the site to the general public. A visit to the site is a must-do when you are in Port de Caravella. On a clear day, the views from both the gun placement as well as the lookout are spectacular. Also interesting is the small visitors centre that is located next to the castle. It offers the collection of discovered artefacts and will show you how the castle looked when it was still complete. But be aware: the climb to the castle will take about 30 mins. (Château des Pins; Rue des Pins 24; admission: free; ¸ 9am - 4.30pm Mon-Fri, 10am - 6pm Sat & Sun) @_Michael @TekindusT @Scribosilyn @feyss @Takingyouthere @kschmidt and @v701 : thank you for the positive comments on the previous entry!

Would you like some wine with that, Monsieur?

My next city is named Chateau Lafite, after the famous French winery, and even has a chateau surrounded by "vineyards" (see entry image). It replaced a previous, rather ugly city that I had been using for BAT testing and is my attempt to create a pretty, less amateur looking city. It is organized around a grand central park surrounded by mansions but also has some scruffy working-class areas (I particularly like the one ending in 1802.png).-
