A host of other music icons recorded at Château d’Hérouville, including Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Bad Company, Iggy Pop and Fleetwood Mac. Though the Grateful Dead did not record there, they did end up playing an impromptu show in the in the backyard, the highlights of which are documented here.
