The New Rochelle house was featured in the hit period drama's pilot Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
In Mad Men's pilot episode, we first see Don Draper as a charming business man. He figures out a tough cigarette ad, lands a department store deal, fools around with his bohemian girlfriend. And then, in the very last minute, we find out he is also a family man, taking the train to his upstate New York home, where a wife and two children are waiting for him. That postcard-perfect house with the fire engine red front door is now on the market for $1.15m in New Rochelle, listedSotheby's. The century-old colonial clapboard home was only featured in the period drama's pilot, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, before the show resumed filming in Pasadena, California. But the six bedroom, three and-a-half bathroom resident was the first shock in a series that would taken seven seasons to show us that there was more to Don Draper than we were first made to believe. The home has many features that made it blend right in with the first episode's setting in 1960s New York. There is a large glassed-in porch, high ceilings on the first floor, four exposed fireplaces, an open staircase and a wood-covered den with built-in bookcases, according to Zillow. The 3,544 sq ft home is especially traditional in its interior, still featuring pastel-colored pink and yellow walls and bathrooms with floral wallpaper. And there is plenty of space to entertain thanks to the home's large back and front yards, although unfortunately it is not the same one where Betty Draper famously shot her neighbor's pigeon.

The department of Creuse is simply beautiful as are the neighbouring departments of Corrèze and Haute-Vienne in the Limousin region. Like many departments it is named after the river that meanders though the landscape. Three other rivers pass through the area, the Taurion, Gartempe and Petite-Creuse rivers. Creuse is located to the north west edge of the Massif Central mountain range and is about 6/7 hours drive from Calais and about 3 hours from Paris. The inhabitants are called the ’Creusois’ and are warm and welcoming, the area is one of the less populated departments of France being mainly rural and making the choice of properties to buy there very attractive. Creuse has only 260 towns and villages, the urban areas are situated around the towns of Aubusson, Bourganeuf, Guéret, Sainte-Feyre and La Souterraine, these five towns form the urban centre of Creuse. This urban area is bursting with history, places to go, lots to see and many leisure activities but the major benefits of this department are the rural life and natural landscape, it is renowned for being very green and peaceful, a real haven for nature lovers with a large part of the department being covered by woodland. There is no major industry and the economy of this department is derived from tourism, the craft industry and agriculture.
