We travel a lot, and we assume you do, too. It’s one of the best things in life, especially as you get older and you have learned to appreciate the finer, more subtle joys that life brings. But, sometimes you are pleasantly pleased by an unexpected find. In this case, we’re speaking of the The Château d’Abbadia, also Château d’Abbadie. When spending time in Spain with friends, we crossed over the border and discovered this “hidden’ folly. We say hidden, as you don’t often hear about it. But if you find yourself in that part of Europe, stop by.
The Château d’Abbadia is a neogothic château situated in Hendaye, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France. Built by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Edmond Duthoit, both patronized by the explorer Antoine d’Abbadie, between 1864 and 1879, it is classified as a historic monument and “Maison des Illustres“. The scientific collections, archives and furniture are all authentic and make up a considerable cultural heritage of the 19th century.
