Life Swap: What if You Left New York
Don’t Blame the French
Even if you live in one of the best New York apartments imaginable, comparisons can be startling. This full-floor Park Avenue condo sprawls over 6,200 square feet and has a terrace larger than most one-bedrooms. How to top it? How about a château in the south of France? In exchange for those thirteen rooms, the seller could have a four-century-old estate just outside Sarrians, a brief ride from Picasso’s beloved Avignon. The château has nine bedrooms (as well as a separate farmhouse); two swimming pools; basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts; a croquet field; and an olive grove. If the dollar were stronger, it’d be an actual bargain.
