A lot of random French words and phrases strewn about this text. While I am certain I got some of them correct, there are others I am sure must be wrong. C'est la vie :-P

No, this specific chateau was never used as an insane asylum, but it struck me as having the right look and feel for the setting of this story. In any event, being located in southern France, if nothing else it is at least architecturally in the ballpark of what such a place should look like.
