and it’s worth remembering - you eat an elephant a bite at a time!
Can you tell us a bit about the events you’re running?
We currently host Weddings, Fun & Festivities and Gardening Work Days, as well as a few Food Lovers Weekends. We also have a new unique glamping experience ‘Chateau under the Stars’. All our events capitalise on the local produce that is so impressive in the Pays de le Loire. The Food Lovers Weekend at the Chateau means sampling plenty of amazing food and drink. The weekend starts with us hosting all the guests for a meal of many courses, then after a trip to the local market at Laval [more on Laval market here], we all cook together - it's seasonal produce and dishes that many have not been brave enough to attempt.
What plans do you have for the future?
It’s fair to say there’s a lot left to do at the chateau. We haven’t really started some of the very big jobs, like re-doing our windows and replacing the roof, and if you add converting the outbuildings to the ‘to do list’, there’s no shortage of things to keep us occupied.
There are also a couple of other very exciting projects in the pipeline for next year, but at the moment our lips are sealed!
