Poland: Safari Bison and Lunch @ Kurozweki Palace

Posted on December 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

Here is my last post about my weekend in the Świętokrzyski (Holy Cross) region, with a safari bizon in the Kurozweki estate ! Yes I know, I often have funny ideas ! So I went visiting some peaceful specimen of American bison, more than 80 animals (picture 1) ! Honestly, it’s not really my thing and apparently I ‘m not the only one, LOL (picture 2) ! But kids are fans ! I’ve never imagined there could be so many (super tough) mosquitoes in Poland! I go inside the palace (picture 3), where the tour begins with a subterranean maze and old foundations. Back in daylight, we head to the small family museum (picture 6). Our guide, the son of Earl Popiel is a great storyteller (picture 5). Each object, table and photo is related to anecdotes or dramas and the family saga often flirts with the history (the one we learnt at school). Pictures 7 & 4: the long ballroom and the intimate chapel. Pictures 8, 9 & 10: our beautiful table and delicious lunch of Polish traditional cuisine. And guess what we ate?

Schloss Hotel Korb: A Suite Decorated With Old

Posted on June 21, 2012 | Leave a comment

My spacious suite

is located in the central building of the Hotel Schloss Korb, originally an ancient castle (I’m not a huge fan of sleeping in castles). Upon entering, I immediately noticed a beautiful bouquet of purple orchids almost black, in the parlor bathed in sunlight and overlooking the rose garden (picture 4).

An old telephone, some beautiful books about South Tirol, crystal chandelier and old wood (pictures 2 and 4): like the feeling to break into scene of an Agatha Christie’s novel. Then I head to another room bathed in light: the bedroom, with two large windows opened onto a bucolic landscape of postcard…

The ubiquity of Dolomiti! I’m Charmed by the lovely bright atmosphere, the hangings, the bed (very comfortable, with German single duvets, I mean a single duvet for each one in a bridal bed! It has always struck me! Lol!). In contrast, the impeccable bathroom offerts space and comfort of today and I prefer.

Bordeaux, France: Château de Carmasac in the Entre-Deux-Mers Countryside

Posted on January 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

Let’s move to Gironde in the Entre-Deux-Mers countryside, near Bordeaux. And visit the Château de Camarsac, called the “Black Prince’s castel” (Edouard of Woostock) from the 14th century. Today the castel and vineyard are the properties of Thierry Lurton. I climb to the top of the dungeon: a very sportive climb because of the width and height of the steps!!!. Stonished view of the vineyard (picture 4) produces differents wines : red wines, rosés wines, clairet (a bled of Cabernet and Merlot grapes, picture 5) and more recently white wines (since 2009). You can choice between different visits : classic, historic et technology (wine processing technology focus).
