At the moment, the last residency of the Youth Idol is making headlines. Indeed, for quite a few real estate experts, the
house in Marnes-la-Coquette is unsaleable. Moreover, if she wants to have a chance of obtaining an offer, Laetitia Hallyday must review her copy and lower the price.
For his part, King Mohammed VI does not see it that way. During his lifetime, his father Hassan II loved coming to France. Instead of going to palaces, he invested in a castle. Located in Seine-et-Marne and more precisely in the town of Gretz-Armainvilliers, the building has a surface area of 2,500 square meters.
In all, there is a “hundred rooms, a hairdressing salon, several elevators, five salons, a hammam” and other surprises. However, Mohammed VI has just decided to part with it against the modest sum of … 425 million euros.

A chilling observation
Questioned by our colleagues, the real estate agent full of praise about this exceptional property. “It is the most expensive castle in France and perhaps in the world..” He points out that the castle also has a “1,000 hectare plot of land which offers many possibilities.”
This bottle in the sea has potential “investor” is anything but trivial. And for good reason, a fairly competent team of architects “could build thousands of apartments there.”
It is obvious, for Mohammed VI, that there is no question that history will repeat itself. In 2016, its sole presence in this second castle of Betz in the Oise created a shortage of drinking water. So much so that locals are sounding the alarm to the media. Forced to stock up on packs of mineral water at the local supermarket, the situation spirals to the point of becoming almost out of control.
To be forgiven, King Mohammed VI pulls out all the stops. Delivery of “couscous every Friday middayi” to the owners of small businesses in the surrounding area. Just before the pandemic and the terrible earthquake in Marrakech, he “offers all-expenses-paid vacations in Morocco” to hand-picked children.
Finally, he multiplies the donations. First, he signs several checks to renovate schools as well. Then, boxes of “vegetables from your own soupr” land in the stalls of the “only solidarity grocery store in the village“.
