Introduction:

All châteaux in Inisfree are grouped in this neighborhood based on their architectural style. Each château is an architectural clone of its form-sake in the Outlands, with the exception being that these buildings are indestructible.  We use the term château, a French word, to indicate that all of the castles in this neighborhood are built in the various French styles.

 

–

Dimensions & Layout:

This neighborhood is just over one third of a mile wide, and two miles long, giving it 19,514,880 square feet; 448 acres.  It includes 28 French castles, 23 of which are on 330′ x 330′ plots (108,900 square feet; 2.5 acres).  Its biggest, by far, is our copy/version of the Palace at/of Versailles.

To give you an idea of how big an average castle is, Stormwind, almost its own town, including multiple ship docks, guild sections, spires, basements, and moats, is still only 47,000 square feet (~217′ x 217′), meaning, if it was in this neighborhood, its plot would have 61,900 square feet remaining (before its greenbelt); >1.4 acres.

Nearly 200′ of greenbelt separates each chateau property here.

 

–

Access:

All castles are connected not by our standard white-and-gold highways-and-streets system/surfaces, but old-fashioned / medieval-style hardpacked dirt trails and cobblestone roads.  This is to keep with the overall ‘look and feel’ of this timeless/fairytale countryside neighborhood.

*Drivable vehicles can still use these routes to and from each castle, though it is recommended they employ their built-in repulsines to hover, as the dirt spans can get muddy during and after rains.

 

–

Decorations and Furnishings:

All of the outside and inside color schemes of these buildings have been fine-tuned to be perfect.  Most of them already looked perfect on the outside, so it just took some paint or wallpaper decisions to ensure their insides matched that same degree of aesthetic excellence.

All furniture in them was 3D-printed, and only the sexiest of framed paintings are on the walls.  The furniture looks like hand-carved fancy expensive wooden pieces with artistic cushions.  The wall-art is of those aforementioned paintings (always of sexy nude females), plus sconces and tapestries.

In cases where the ceiling looked/’felt’ a bit too low, minor internal structural improvements were made prior to the chateau being 3D-printed.  All ceilings are now at a relaxingly-high height.

Often, there are very large (wide and tall) candles on pedestals of matching proportions.  Big candles on tables are in ‘hurricane lamps’ (curvy glass vertical cylinders).  Smaller candles and candle holders/stands are stocked in the drawers.
