At @chateaudugrandluce an 18th century neoclassical chateau splendidly restored by @timothycorrigan . A large country house, grand but welcoming.

Enjoyed the exhibition all around Place Vendôme of beautiful pictures by @jeanfrancoisfortchantre and happy to have one in my office. Art is inspiring, especially when it is combined with history.
