    Looking at those pictures makes me wonder if I can get a job in the alps as a server tech. That view would even be worth a pay cut I think.

    I just sat staring at the photos again, they are truly beautiful, love the indoor shots as well, what a great home. Takes me back to when I was a boy and my family lived at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. I am sure you are all enjoying it, especially the little ones.

    Now that's a clever idea
    Come spend a week vacation. You bring some fabric and leave with a double box pleated kilt made by Lady Chrystel herself !

    How does that sound like ?


    Best,

    Best,

    Be careful Robert! Making statements like that could result in untold and continuous disruption in your home - we would all be rushing to visit you and the good Lady Chrystel. Do you do 'chambres', by the way?!!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    For our kilt customers, we have... the Royal Suite



    Simply tell us when about you would like to come over, and if you can deal with two charming but noisy damsels (5 and 2 years old...) you are most welcome.

    We cannot compete with Ferintosh but we will do our best !

    Robert, being a history buff, I find the pictures of your home to be quite extraordinary. The U.S. has very few extant homes from the 18th c. that are still occupied as private residences. My parents live in a very large farm house built in 1849 but both the interior and exterior has been updated a bit to conform to modern conveniences (i.e. the carriage house is now a 2 car garrage). It looks like your home has been very well preserved in it's original state (high ceilings, tile hearths, etc.). Am I correct about this? Are there a lot of homes like that in France? I'd love to see some pics of the outside.
