Keeping a Castle Running Is No Fairy Tale

The Chateau de Haroué, an early 18th-century castle built by Prince Marc de Beauvau-Craon, a cousin of King Louis XV, is easily the most striking landmark in Haroué, a tiny French village 190 kilometers (118 miles) from the Swiss city of Basel. The village is home to fewer than 500 residents, but the chateau’s open-air operas and art exhibits help the town punch above its weight when it comes to cultural happenings. But the town doesn’t own the castle. Indeed, it’s still in the family, and is currently owned by Princess Minnie de Beauvau-Craon, a direct descendant of the man who built it.
