The use of images of the Château d’Ussé, in Indre-et-Loire, in Eric Zemmour’s presidential candidacy announcement video is a “piracy”, reacted Tuesday, November 30 with France Bleu Touraine its owner Casimir de Blacas. The owner of the castle says to himself “stunned”, and ensures that he has “never been contacted” by the polemicist’s campaign team.
“That we use the images of a private place for political purposes seems unthinkable to me, it seems to me that it is a complaint, adds Casimir de Blacas. It is outright piracy. I have no particular connection with Eric Zemmour, any more than I have any connection with any other candidate. “
“Any candidate would have asked for my approval to use the Château d’Ussé in a clip, I would have refused!”

The owner of the castle finishes: “It is a family home which is open to all and which should not, under any circumstances, be used for political purposes.”
