Oh how I wish this was happening in October, when we will be travelling in France! Hope to be able to spend a few days in Chinon, and of course, will plan to stay at your beautiful hotel. Been following you on Twitter, then Bluesky, and your Substack for ages. Hope to be able to say hello in person this fall. Cheers from another American expat (in Canada).

I just texted my niece who mentioned wanting to go to Paris the last time I saw her a few months back. I'm wondering if she'd like to do this with me. Your retreat sounds wonderful! And I'd love to finally meet you!

Thank you. I know your recipes often feature dairy & gluten; can you give us a sense of what some alternatives might be? Such as meats cooked in oil, veggies, etc. The program sounds wonderful.

It’s something I would have to see with each restaurant . On the other hand… gf breads are easy for breakfast and non-dairy milk but is it all dairy or only cow? We serve local goat cheeses at breakfast.

Could you accommodate someone who was gluten- and dairy free?

We would certainly make the effort to work with you to make it work!
