"Faux Chateau" in Mexico.

The term faux chateau satirically refers to the adaptation of an idyllic French château into a typical suburban family home that is characterized primarily by its misuse of architectural concepts and incorrect detailing and/or proportioning. This type of residence is often referred to as having "old-world" styling or "provençal" inspiration, in an attempt at foreign branding. "Faux Chateau" is often used interchangeably with "McMansion".
