What a fabulous interview. I want to go to Chinon and stay at Hotel Diderot!!
We do too, Betsy!! Thanks for listening!
Ha thanks Betsy! You and Sara and Gary are always welcome!
Oh how I love to her Jamie’s sweet voice again! My husband and I had the distinct pleasure of staying with Jamie and Jean Pierre at Hotel Diderot. It is everything you could dream of – like being at a home away from home set in a charming medieval town in the Loire Valley!
*blush* I cannot wait until you can visit again!
