Let me just show you again how excited we were to be headed to a (renovated) 12th centry castle in the Champagne region – Chateau de Fere!

After a small train hiccough at the Paris change over – giving us a 3 hour wait rather just the one – I don’t want anyone to worry though as we found a corner cafe to have a beer in and we watched the world go by.

Then it was to our chateau!

Here’s our castle!

Here’s some shots from around the chateau…

The swimming pool – Tammy & Matt got to try it out whilst Fliss and I were busy touring.

It was quite glorious!
