Hi everyone
I know it’s been a while, but not much has been happening
here. We are all being good and wearing our masks and social distancing and
avoiding crowd situations. Hope that you have all had a great christmas anyway.

| Imagine how wonderful this would look in summer |
We decided to celebrate the new year yesterday by going to lunch at a local chateau that we had not visited before. It’s called Château Destinée and is owned by australians, Linda and Peter. We were particularly interested because they offer an australian brunch menu !

It was a beautiful winter’s day, 15° and sunny. The 17th century chateau sits in three hectares of park like garden overlooking the Dordogne river. Linda and Peter told us they have spent a year renovating and it has all been worthwhile as the place is beautiful. It offers apartments as well as chambre d’hôtes rooms and can sleep 58 so this has been a mammoth job. Just the place for a wedding or any important celebration.

We loved the food, the setting and the friendly welcome so we will definitely return.
