What a lovely way to end a fabulous week, especially with our 2 days in Bordeaux.
Our room/suite in the Château, was very grand and steeped in History with beautiful pieces of art and pottery and a Bronze figure. The view from our room was amazing to actually see the lay out of the garden from above, we have seen it at ground level many times and all seasons.
It was really lovely to just get ready and do the short walk to the restaurant, which looked inviting as we walked up in the dark to the warm glow of the restaurant.
Our table at Grange -aux-oies was beautifully set, and was greeted with a glass of champagne.The restaurant soon got very busy and the entertainment started. The staff were exceptional, and very attentive to our every need, we have been here on many occasions and never been disappointed. I can highly recommend giving this stunning place a visit....whatever the occasion.

ReplyDeleteThanks Paulita, I popped over to your meme and said hello x
DeleteWow, that looks such a special night.
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, it was an amazing night, we have been to the Château for many meals, so we knew what to expect, but the first time we actually stopped over night....very special. x

DeleteI'm soooo envious of your retirement in France .... delightful trips to gorgeous chateaus! My Dreaming of France meme is about an upcoming Michael Caine movie - Mr Morgan's Last Love - set mostly in Paris.
ReplyDeleteRetirement in France was always our dream, and what we worked to aim for, we used to come to France for family holidays with our 3 children, then the day came, we had to make the decision...do we...don't we... and decided what the heck, we could always go back home if it doesn't work....So far..so good.. x
Delete....also will be looking up the Michael Caine movie..
