Chateau de la Motte Henry

This weekend I had the privilege of spending 2 days in the Loire Valley chateau home of my new friends Vivienne and Simon.  Vivienne is a childhood friend of my friend Bristol who lives here in Paris.

Amazingly, they have turned this place into a dwelling you can actually live in! Vivienne rents it out for large events and weddings and they have a small 3-bedroom cottage next to the pool that can be rented by the week. It’s all unbelievably charming. There are caretakers year-round and the dogs stay around for your playing and walking pleasure!

It’s a great place to make your base while you explore the Loire Valley vineyards and towns by car…..
