So sad….we love as the chateau is located in Europe, that our Big order and the items was shipped off in Europe too! Who ever would get he idea to make it 2 times up the Price, the Chateau is placed in Eu, but Due to brexit - the ordering , shopping and and handling is NOT as we believed , but shipped from great britan, wich for fans ordering in Europe make everything up to 2 times up the Price, as taxes and import is unbelieveable expensive. All the items we already put in our online basket, and had in mind ordering, we really cant afford to order due to the Price , as it does not showon the webside and due to the expensive rules done by the “ fantastic” Way Brexit ruined our possibility to order without extra Costs wich makes the Price of every item more than 2 x up! . That is very very sad.

Read moreWe was invited by Dick and Angel from the tour we watched. On our arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady to attend to our need for parking.
We then made our way to the chateau entrance where we then met them.
They laid drinks and desserts on for us which was just amazing.
We had a tour of their home by themselves and then we were allowed a tour of the grounds by ourselves.
I'm so grateful they opened their home up to us and showed us around and they made us so welcome.
Dick and Angel were very polite towards us and treated us like we have been friends for years.
This maybe only a one off opportunity but if they did say we could go back I wouldn't think twice, we'll be there.
The drive from the UK to France and surroundings was nearly touching 1300 mile which was worth every mile.
Great work Dick and Angel and everyone involved and hopefully we'll see you back on our screens...
