    It's our annual Belle Epoque en Plein Air where we dress up in costume from around 1900, and invite artists to come enjoy the scenery.

    Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

      There is a lot of play choices in JJ. If you just stick to the fun main story (the hidden objects scenes) you get a feel for the game, and can branch out later. I'll admit I found all the options a bit much at first, but then I realized I could explore them at my own pace with no penalty.

    Love you guys and your contene but "Please" discourage fireworks, so dangerous for those that make them so damaging to the environment and wildlife/pets/farm animals & there are much better alternatives. Just look at the White Night festivals that I believe originated in Paris and now are held all over the world. Laser light displays are also less invasive and less damaging.

I recall that the volunteers were helping to fill in with rubble to raise the level of it for finishing. And second, what is the status of the barn roof? You showed covering it with a tarp, but that’s just temporary. It can only be deteriorating further if not addressed. I hate to see you putting off needed repairs. Do you have a plan as to how you will fund these repairs? And, will you be updating these issues in a future video? I wish you well in your endeavors.

      No worries. Belle Epoque is a time period in France between 1870-1914. Parts of our chateau date from then. The outfits are from that period. Plein air is a fancy name for painting onsite. We invite artists to capture the scene like they would have during the Belle Epoque era. Hope that helps.
