CHATEAU DE VILLETTE - A KEYHOLE TO A WORLD LOST AND FOUND AGAIN

CHATEAU DE VILLETTE  - A KEYHOLE TO A WORLD LOST AND FOUND AGAIN

To toast before 17th-century Versaille-esque gardens with an Armand de Brignac Champagne and gaze on a sun setting over Île-de-France turning the mirror of the lake pink, is a distinctive, if not a classically French pleasure.

To wallow under the stars (or scudding clouds) on an armchair covered in blue silk brocade, Louis XV sconces and 18th-century allegories of the Arts and Literature is another exceptional, non-necessarily French privilege.

There is evidently a whole universe of seduction and distractions at Château de Villette, the most historically important Manor in France, composed by the very architects and landscape designer who constructed and fashioned the Palace itself, so much so that the establishment gained the sobriquet "Le Petit Versailles".

Reaping all the romance a destination affair can afford, Samantha & Sadri seduced their closest and dearest, jetting them off to where Etruscans, Romans, Popes, and Rennaisance artists once roamed.
