- The chateau has a professional recording studio, used for 'A Bigger Bang'.

Rock and Roll legend Mick Jagger, now 82, has found a personal sanctuary in France's Loire Valley at his 18th-century estate, Château La Fourchette. He acquired the property, along with 50 acres, in 1982 for £2.2 million with his then-wife Jerry Hall. This luxurious retreat now features a Japanese-style garden, swimming pools, and a tennis court, serving as Jagger's primary residence with fiancée Melanie Hamrick.
The château is more than just a home; it houses a professional recording studio. It is widely reported that Jagger and The Rolling Stones recorded their 2005 album, 'A Bigger Bang,' within its walls. This French haven offers Jagger a peaceful escape, a sentiment he echoes by calling it his 'haven of peace in the valley of kings'.
