Diary of a guest...

Friday September 21, 2007
“We left London in a panic and thought we’d never make our flight, Ryan Air direct to Carcassonne, but here we are! We were promptly picked up by our driver and 20 minutes later were at Chateau Canet were we were greeted with friendly smiles and shown to our charming cottage, “Syrah”. It is hard to believe that in the space of 4 hours you can be transported from the hustle and bustle of London and find yourself in such a haven of calm”.

Saturday September 22, 2007
“I woke up to a real treat, breakfast in bed served by my dear husband! He admitted that our hosts had made it very easy for him as the fridge in the cottage had everything he needed and the warm baguette and croissants were delivered to our door, not to mention the freshly squeezed orange juice!”

“The market in Carcassonne was great fun, Victoria really knows her way around and I was surprised to see how many small organic farmers there were. We bought the most fabulous selection of wild mushrooms for our cooking class tomorrow and I even had time to check out a couple of the antique shops in town……Matthew stayed at the domaine as he wanted to join Lionel, the winemaker and Floris in the winery.... nothing like true hands on experience”.

Sunday September 23, 2007
“What a luxury to be able to sleep in… and what an amazing evening. Wandering through the small cobble stoned streets of Cite de Carcassonne was quite magical and dinner was sensational. Apparently the chef is on his way to earning his second Michelin star, I can understand why”.

“What an inspiring day, lunch in the olive grove was truly memorable, such a special setting. I can’t believe we made all those delicious dishes in just one morning, then again there is nothing like working along side a real professional. I will definitely be using the fresh ‘cepes’ recipe for my next dinner party!”.

“Matthew can’t stop talking about his new “favourite” wine: the one he blended in the cellar this morning, a mix of Syrah and Grenache grapes. I think he will dream about becoming a winemaker tonight!”

Monday September 24, 2007
“…I’ve decided that Chateau Canet would be the perfect place to host Matthew’s birthday next year and I think I’ll keep it a secret…”
