African dictator Bokassa's chateau sold at auction
A French chateau that once belonged to African dictator Jean-Bedel Bokassa has sold for 915,000 euros (£760,000).
The dilapidated 'Chateau d'Hardricourt' was bought by an anonymous bidder at an auction in Versailles.
Bokassa spent several years living in the mansion in the western Paris suburb of Hardricourt after he was overthrown as leader of the Central African Republic (CAR) in 1979.
It has since fallen into disrepair and needs major refurbishment.
'Electricity, water, heating - all need to be overhauled,' Pascal Koerfer, lawyer for the administrator of the Bokassa estate, told Associated Press.
The property overlooking the Seine comes with 10,000 square metres (108,000 sq ft) of surrounding parkland, a house for a caretaker and a double garage.
But Mr Koerfer estimated it would take up to 3m euros (£2.5m) to restore it to a 'liveable' condition.
More than 80 potential buyers are reported to have viewed the property before the sale.
'Lamentable' state
One curious visitor, described only as Marcel, told Europe 1 radio network that the chateau was in a 'lamentable' state: 'The manor is not heated, there are broken windows and ceilings falling in.'
The chateau was occupied by one of Bokassa's wives and two of his children up until a few years ago. One of the daughters, Marie-France, is quoted as saying they did not have the money to maintain the property.
One of Bokassa's sons, Georges, who was at the auction, had urged French President Nicolas Sarkozy to intervene to prevent what he called the plundering of his family's heritage.
