[edit] Date of Acquisition

Hi. The official website (linked in the article) says that the French government acquired the castle in 1932, not 1930 as the article states (unless it was meant to be the 1930's). Regards, Redux 14:15, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

NPOV- Picture captions describing it as "Magnificient" and "Impressive" seem accurate to me, but definitely not NPOV.

It's POV, but it's uncontroversial. If someone wanted to seriously contest it, we could dig up the opinions of a few notable architects who find it magnificent and impressive.

How long were those there? I removed them, we should let the images speak for themselves. At least in 2006 we don't let those slide by. ;-) I also trimmed excess images (the kings were a bit much, they have their own articles, and it's not like the average reader can navigate the page by their portraits), enlarged others, and put two of the panoramas in a gallery section. Better a few good images on the page. There also should be more than just a line about its tourist functions. Are the grounds open? Are there interpretive tours (presumably)? Are there outbuildings?. --Dhartung | Talk 22:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Ducal Family

The sentence 'It actually belongs to King Peter II Nadeau-Bourbon and his direct descendant King Peter III, rightful heir to the throne of France.' was inserted by an anonymous user on 8/9/2006, and is either:

• Inserted at the wrong spot and should be moved to a separate paragraph or section and provided with some reference
• Spurious and POV

If nobody can substantiate the claim of King Peter II, I am all for removing the sentence. --mililani 13:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

No opinion? I'll remove the sentence then. --mililani 13:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Modern History

Changed wording "also a white elephant on which much money is spent every year." to "unfortunately is not profitable". --10:48, 17 August 2007
