So ChateauxSince 2019

An independent view on your château project.

I am Olivier Schweizer, founder of So Châteaux. If you are seriously considering buying a château in France, I can certainly help you. I have met and personally know more than 300 château owners across France. There are three ways to work with me, depending on where you are in your project.

About me

Olivier Schweizer

I have worked in the world of French châteaux for fifteen years, first as the director of two châteaux, one in Burgundy and one less than an hour from Paris.

In 2019 I created So Châteaux, which I still run: remarkable French châteaux, presented by their owners. Our episodes have passed 30 million views on YouTube. Once the camera is off, I have spent countless hours with owners, talking about their projects, their difficulties and their challenges.

That experience is what I share with you.
