Renting a French château is not as outrageous as one imagines – in fact you could be a guest at one of these ancient manors for as little as $40 a night.
Castle #1 - 14th century La Chevallerie Château
Overlooking the plain of Le Mans, this seven-suite castle has everything from horseback riding paths to car racing tracks.
If you're not the adventuring type, slip on your whites for a game on the grass tennis courts or stay indoors and indulge yourself in the art, decor and libraries.
Rent the entire property, which sleeps 14, for $2,100 a night (translation: everyone chip in $150), according to Airbnb.
