Stunning Sandra, I just love the style of French houses. That aubergine colour looks fab on that pergola, not a colour I would have thought of using, live and learn  Must dash, need to check out flights and times, Shrub & LNG I'l bung the flights on my card and we can sort the cost later ;D |

the 1st photo is the north side of the chateau, the 2nd looking out east, i think it was the morning room, there was stained glass in the fan, red, purple & yellow. the third is not a greenhouse but a bird cage, to the right is where the greenhouse and animal cemetery were. keep finding things, there's a lake down the hill, needs JCB. feudal village for over 700yrs. chateau carresse. really want to plant vines." tursan" is a local wine. try the rose........  |

Beautiful place Sandra you are so lucky. Would love to see some more pics of the house and garden please. Is it one of those properties that you can put your own stamp on house wise? I love old French houses they have lots of character
