We should have been working today, but our American clients had to cancel their trip to France due to the Covid19 crisis. Here is a glimpse of what we would have been doing with them.

We would have met our clients at their hotel before driving to Cheverny. Cheverny is unique amongst the well known chateaux for being the only one which retains its original decor, and their pack of hounds is a treat for dog lovers.

Lunch was to have been taken at a relais style restaurant before leaving for the Chateau of Chenonceau, the 'must see' chateau of the Loire Valley and once home to Catherine de Medici and Diane de Poitiers. On our way out we would have walked through beautiful gardens.

We would have finished the tour with a visit and tasting at a 1000 year old wine cave.
