Last Tuesday, although very jet lagged, I went on a tour with the American Women's Club. We traveled to the Chateau de Presles and toured the beautiful grounds and home of the Count and Countess Oultremont. The history was outstanding and the chateau was beautiful. We were also served lunch in their dining room and heard wonderful stories about the history of the family, the land and the chateau. The Count and Countess were so warm and funny. They talked about the election (it was November 4) and the political and religious importance of their home. They even hung an American in our honor!
(Oops...The Count and Countess did not hang an American, they hung an American FLAG! Many thanks to all of you who emailed me to point out this grievous error. I wouldn't want my blog post to be reason for strained relations between the French and Americans!)
They hung an American? That must have been interesting to see.
