THE BEGINNING

The fascination began before I ever realized it - perhaps with my grandmother’s house. But the French daydreaming began with a trip to Biltmore Estate on a bitingly cold day in January 2007. I’ll never forget the roofline with patinaed copper details, the limestone facade, and the cobblestone courtyard. Fast forward to our Parisian honeymoon in May 2013 when our trip to Versailles left us mesmerized. Then in July 2019, we were lying in bed at Chateau de Gudanes and I remember saying, “I think we could live this life.” And so it began.
