It's Easter at the chateau!!! And, in sprite of the lockdown preventing our huge annual Easter party, we celebrated this beautiful festival of springtime and renewal It's one of my favourite time's of the year - we turn the fountain on as a symbol that Lalande is OPEN for the season ahead, the wildflowers are bursting into life, and our bluebell wood turns into fairyland. We celebrate our Easter Egg hunt there, and enjoy a sumptuous Easter lunch afterwards HAPPY EASTER FROM THE CHATEAU TO EVERYONE!
