One-time Pink Floyd recording studio to reopen

Posted December 31, 2015 by Floydian Slip

The Chateau d’Herouville, the shuttered French recording studio where Pink Floyd and many other iconic bands recorded, is set to reopen.

Dubbed the “Honky Chateau” by Elton John, who recorded three albums there, the facility had been abandoned until recently purchased by four partners who plan to reopen it for sound recording and more.

Floyd recorded its soundtrack to the 1972 film “La Vallee” there. The album’s called “Obscured by Clouds.”

During its heyday of the ’70s, the French mansion an hour outside Paris offered bands such as David Bowie, T Rex, Cat Stevens and others, a place to not only record music, but to live — sometimes to excess — under the management of owner Michel Magne.

Magne took his life in 1984 as debts on the facility piled up.

New co-owner Stephan Marchi told Classic Rock magazine, “Ultimately we want to expand from sound recording to other mediums — writing, sculpting, painting.

“In everything, we are inspired by the idea of recreating the state of mind that prevailed here in the early 70s.”
