Living like a King

Chateau Chanze, home for a week


The hall


The chateau was built in the 1400s


Bacchus rules in wine country


Rock solid stone steps up the tower


King Henry IV stayed here


He stayed in this room


But now Harvey Bruce does


Grapes in the fields around Chanze


Overlooking the chateau


Dinner


Sparkling wine of Saumur


Bruce tends to the fire


Relaxing in the hall


The pool and old stables


Bruce and Jenn brave the chill for a swim in the heated pool


Chanze claims right to the largest fireplace in the region


What the fireplace is good for


Creating the ambiance


The fire master


Fish fry


The cook at work


The kitchen table


Cheers!


The brothers, Joe & Paul


A great day for a pool party


A bite to eat


Soaking up the sun! :-)


Fruit does not fall far from the tree- Floatie Boy and Floatie Mom


Preparing for our BBQ dinner


The sun sets on another great day


Awesome
