TAKE A TRIP BACK IN TIME!

Ladies,

I was looking over some old photos of castles that I had visited on a trip to France. I visited and enjoyed the grounds and opulence of the Chateau de Chambord and the Chateau de Chenonceau. But the one featured this month I am putting on my list to visit. It looks like romance was born in this castle.

Do you miss the days of Chivary? Have you experienced chivary recently? Tell me about.
