A startling sight confronts the first-time visitor to Waddesdon: an extravagantly turreted chateau in the French Renaissance style, sitting on a hilltop in rural Buckinghamshire. Even more unexpected are the treasures inside the house: a superlative collection of English paintings hangs beside the finest French 18th-century decorative arts, set in rooms clad in paneling from the grandest Parisian town houses."
