Last night we were invited to dine at a neighboring chateau. I was feeling very tired and almost decided not to go. When I saw the chateau I was glad I changed my mind. The experience was incredible. We entered through beautiful doors and were greeted by the chateau dog. Then we were ushered into our table in the dining room where we were served a delicious meal. It began with cream soup with scallops and radishes and ended with a strawberry and cream dessert. So , I realized that one should never say no when asked to dine at a chateau.

Chateau Perreux, Amboise, France is also a hotel.
