A castle in a state of disrepair
But the indignation of Internet users does not stop at the toilets. Many denounce the general state of the castle: “Why do you think they walk around all day in a hat and scarf?“, suggesting that the academicians would even suffer the cold in a poorly insulated building. And testimonies on the degraded state of the establishment are well underway. According to some, a candidate even saw a cockroach in the middle of a piano session, this which does nothing to improve the image of the castle.
This observation is not entirely new. When the Star Academy returned in 2022, a paid tour of the castle was organized, and many people came away disappointed, describing an almost abandoned building, with water leaks and rooms emptied of their original furniture. Suffice it to say that the idyllic setting that one would expect to see in a show of this scale has taken a hit.

On sale since the end of 2023, the castle has a starting price of 700,000 euros, which says a lot about its condition. “If the auctioneer estimated a castle at only 700,000 euros when its owner bought it for 5.5 times more fifteen years ago, it is because the castle has big, big problems,” comments journalist Clément Garin on X, who explains that even if much work has already been carried out, there is still a lot to do. “It’s not isolated at all, they all get sick every year, from the first days, and it’s not just because they scream in the castle; it’s infested by gendarmes and bedbugs, it’s full of fungi and mold, the walls and floors are blackened. The toilets are in a deplorable state and one candidate even revealed to me that the girls peed in her class standing up, so as not to touch the toilets, as the room was so very. dirty.”

**Interview with Dr. Lisa Harper, Historian and Castle Conservationist**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Harper. There seems to be a growing concern among internet users regarding the condition of the historic castle. What exactly have people been saying?
**Dr. Harper:** Thank you for having me. Yes, there’s been a lot of discussion online about the castle’s state of disrepair. Many users have pointed out the inadequate facilities, like broken restrooms, but they’ve also highlighted broader issues, such as poor insulation and general neglect of the structure. One comment that stood out was, “Why do you think they walk around all day in a hat and scarf?” This really captures the frustration people feel about the living and working conditions there.
**Editor:** It’s clear that the castle is not just a historical site but also a place where people work and study. How does the state of the building affect their day-to-day activities?
**Dr. Harper:** The condition of the castle significantly impacts not just comfort but also productivity. If researchers and academicians are constantly dealing with drafts or malfunctioning facilities, it can distract them from their work. A well-maintained environment is crucial for fostering creativity and collaboration.
**Editor:** What do you think can be done to address these issues?
**Dr. Harper:** First and foremost, there needs to be a concerted effort to secure funding for restoration. Public awareness, like the conversations happening online, is a great start, but it needs to translate into actionable support from local authorities and potential donors. Regular maintenance and upgrades to facilities should also be prioritized to ensure that such a significant historical site remains usable for future generations.
**Editor:** That sounds like a plan. Lastly, what can the public do to help raise awareness about the condition of the castle?
**Dr. Harper:** People can engage with social media campaigns, attend local council meetings, or support organizations dedicated to heritage conservation. It’s important for the community to advocate for these sites, highlighting their cultural significance and the need for preservation. Every voice counts in sparking change!
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Harper, for your insights on this important issue. We hope to see positive changes for the castle soon.
**Dr. Harper:** Thank you for having me. Let’s keep the conversation going!
