Today we had the most wonderful opportunity of having a cookery lesson with Quentin & Alix from @novelle_traiteur I always wanted to learn how to REALLY cook duck breast correctly as it’s something that is produced in this area of France and is absolutely delicious, so today George and I had a lesson. It was great fun and educational and of course we got to taste as well.
@novelle_traiteur are working here a lot this summer for weddings @chateaudebrives and then in the winter months we’re going to be doing some very special weekends here with cookery classes combined with antiques shopping and floral workshops. It will be the most fabulous chateau weekend experience xxxx

I love the scale of the giant holm oak tree against the Chateau. The tree is older than @chateaudebrives as there was another dwelling here that burnt down more than 200yrs ago. If only we could turn back the clocks and see 😍xx

More stunning shots from our recent photoshoot @chateaudebrives with @mariewiik1 @jamesbrown_photo The flowers were incredible as we’re the whole team.

I want to share some beautiful images of our second photo shoot from last week with @mariewiik1 and @jamesbrown_photo of the meadow scene that we created in our beautiful village church opposite @chateaudebrives . The church of Sainte Étienne was built by the same man that built the Chateau M Dupuy d’Angeac and then he gifted it to the village. The church holds an extremely rare stone font that dates back to 1150. We created this beautiful scene to showcase how a wedding day can look in this beautiful setting. Our Maire Mme Cécile Biron is thrilled that we are using the church and that it is coming to life again. THANKYOU to everyone involved in this shoot, we were blown away with the results. Wishing you all a lovely weekend and hoping for peace in the world xxx
