The château in Dammarie-les-Lys, where the show is filmed, is currently involved in a legal dispute. The French national railway company SNCF filed a complaint against the château’s owner in January, citing concerns about the maintenance of vegetation on the property. Vegetation maintenance linked to train disruptions
The owner is accused of failing to properly maintain the vegetation, which has resulted in trees falling onto train tracks. This has caused disruptions to the RER D service, with some interruptions lasting up to six hours or even several days. Second tree incident prompts more action
On October 25, a second tree fell onto the railway network, prompting SNCF to take further action. Under French law, property owners are required to maintain vegetation near railway lines, and failure to do so can lead to imprisonment, fines, and compensation for damages caused by negligence. SNCF threatens legal action if no response
SNCF has stated that if the château’s owner does not respond to their requests, the company will not hesitate to initiate legal proceedings.
