Manor and Maker, Chateau Adventures in France

Ай бұрын

We are thrilled that Kate Taylor & Angela Lane have joined us, and our chefs from Sel Hospitalité for a week of creative & French fun. Discovering local markets & fetes, and having that "Wow, I made that?!" moment.

Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

I think it is toooo tempting to go and visit these little antique shops on your travels. Sounds as though the Chateau is becoming a focal point when it comes to 'the fetes' in the village and surrounding area. Way to go !!

I cannot see a truffle without thinking of The Vinyl Café story about Dave and Morley’s son saving his money to buy a truffle only to discover that it was not chocolate.😳 In the end, the truffle is sliced and served over Kraft Dinner.
