300 women bought a French chateau for $7,700 each and made it an ‘adult summer camp’ for all women
✦ AI Brief
Women from around the world have come together to buy and restore two French châteaux, Château de Béduer and L'Abbaye-Château, in the French countryside. They pooled their resources to create a women-only retreat known as Camp Château, where guests can participate in activities such as kayaking and workshops, or simply relax on the grounds. The project was funded through a shared ownership model, where participants collectively contributed to the purchase and restoration of the properties.
