"We bid you welcome" - even if you are neither Peter Cushing nor Christopher Lee.

An idea for how to arrive in style for a winter break at Château du Bois Giraud - a Citroen 15/6 Traction Avant...

The kitchen does become a haven from the crisp weather. Preferably with a Francoise Hardy CD playing in the background.

A place of refuge. Bath salts optional.
