Our fairytale stay in france

Staying one night in Chateau Tesnieres is like a fairytale dream, especially for a city gal like me who hardly see any wider bigger space than the Istana in Singapore. Wish we had stayed here like for a week but that would probably cost me a fortune more than both our tickets to France. The chateau was built in the early 19th century and the count and countess of Tesnieres used to lived there. It has been restored, under the hands of John and Siebreu who really looked into details while keeping the tradition and beauty of the place. The journey to look for this chateau was not easy being in the obscure countryside but that is what makes it lovely isn't it? It is near to a medieval town called Vitre but the town is comparably small and could be easily missed unlike big cities like Paris or Rennes.

When we reached, there was an elderly couple living there too (For 3 days) and they were seen sitting below a tree just reading and relaxing. Being Singaporeans, I find it really hard to wind down and just do nothing. We walked around the whole place and explored the place. Hosts John and Siebreu made a point to be around but "not around", if you know what I mean and respected our private quiet time. There are only 5 rooms available for stay. The one we chose is on the second floor. And of course, the horror buster like TS didn't hesitate to imagine if this place has any "special history". He was extremely uncomfortable that the doors to our room are unlockable and repeated this question twice to Siebreu haha!

We "almost" had the whole place to ourselves, with the company of 3 white peacocks, 2 dogs and a cat. The peacock made its prescene known quite obviously, haha, even throughout the night at regular hours! But it is perfectly ok, i love the atmosphere. TS said the white peacock is the princess who lived there and has since been under some spell. So what about the other two? Her guards, he said. Wild imagination indeed.
