This project shows the Château de la Colle Noire, a nineteenth-century estate at the border of the Var and Alpes-Maritimes départements, near Montauroux. Christian Dior bought the property in 1950 and began restoring it, though he died in 1957 before the work was finished. A second, more extensive restoration launched by Dior in 2015 returned the château to use as a reception venue, reopening in 2016. Jérôme Galland, interior photographer, documented the estate for AD Germany.

Ce reportage montre le château de la Colle Noire, propriété du XIXe siècle située à la frontière du Var et des Alpes-Maritimes, près de Montauroux. Christian Dior achète le domaine en 1950 et entreprend sa restauration, mais meurt en 1957 avant qu'elle ne soit achevée. Une seconde restauration, plus complète, lancée par la maison Dior en 2015, rend le château à sa vocation de lieu de réception, rouvert en 2016. Jérôme Galland, photographe d'intérieur, a réalisé ce reportage pour AD Germany.
