Obtaining Humanism (as France) is not enough to build Chateaus on a river

As a preface, Note that Chateaus is correct in English, although Chateaux is also acceptable. With very few exceptions, plurals in English do not have to use foreign language pluralization rules. I also did a search on this forum for 'Chateau' and did not find this topic. Nonetheless, please forgive if this is a duplicate and refer me to the appropriate thread.

The Question:
The Civopedia only says that a chateau must be placed by a river. However, simply earning the Humanism civic as France is not enough to build a chateau on an unimproved river tile. I suspect there is an unstated rule about the chateau needing to be within a certain distance of an improved luxury resource. Can anybody verify this or substantiate the specific rule with a reference to the documentation?

ps. I think such a restriction would be reasonable, as that would be consistent with the Chateau in Civ 5, although I see I can build them next to each other now.
 
The game lets you build farms over undiscovered resources so I can't see why a UI would be different.

I have had several occasions where I should have been able to build UI or plant a forest but couldn't. There js something buggy going on.
 
I've never had this happen with UIs, but I have been unable to plant forests on empty flat plains tiles in my own territory before (and yes I had the civic for it)
