A £1.23m French chateau has been put as the prize in a 'Millionaire Mansion' style competition

A Brit is offering her 350-year-old £1.2m French chateau as a competition prize - for just £10.

Ruth Phillips, 61, owns Chateau de Cautine, which boasts nine bedrooms, a 12m swimming pool and 30 acres of land.

But now the property will be passing to a new owner, as Ruth has put the house up as the prize in a competition.

The chateau, built in 1667, is located in the most easterly point of the Dordogne, in the Department of Corrèze.
