Country palaces are known by which French term?

• A. Chateau
• B. Palais
• C. Domaine
• D. Manoir

Answer: (A)

Château is the French term for a grand country house or castle, the kind of stately residence set in the countryside and often associated with nobility and expansive grounds. In contrast, palais is typically used for an urban palace or royal building rather than a rural estate; domaine refers more broadly to an estate or property, not specifically the type of building; and manoir denotes a smaller manor house, usually less grand than a château. So country palaces are known as châteaux.
