The French word chatelaine means
‘key-holder of a chateau', referring to either the housekeeper or the owner. Lara Lunow is both at a gorgeous chateau in
rural Burgundy.
Lara's Chateau de Percey (built in 1763) can
be found in a hamlet in northern Burgundy. At 16, she was sent from the
Netherlands to France to learn French in a little village on the Loire, which
has a small chateau. There she saw that it really is possible to live the life
of a princess - even for an ordinary girl. You too can stay at the Chateau, where Lara offers several gites, lovely
gardens, function rooms, afternoon tea and table d'hotes.
