2018 Loire Millésime – spectacular soirée @Chambord

The appellations of Touraine treated us to a spectacular soirée at Château de Chambord on Monday evening. Firstly an apéritif on the roof and then dinner downstairs at the base of the famous double staircase. During the dinner we were entertained by a very good jazz band.

Many thanks to all involved. 

More photos to follow.
