CHATEAU GENSAC...NOT A WEDDING

Well weddings have been, as it was in 2020, somewhat short in supply.

Since October 2019, at the time of writing, I have attended just 1 and had postponed or cancelled, another 45.

These are unimaginable numbers just 16+ months ago.

But I digress and today am showcasing something that different and that is, 'Chateau Gensac...Not A Wedding'.

Instead, it's their inaugural Summer fete. Or party in English would be the closest word, but we might call it a 'country fair'?

Actually, the closest term would probably be the Anglo-French 'country fete'.

Whatever we call it, it was a great day.

Well planned, well executed and well attended.

4 food trucks ranging from burgers to typical French fayre, through lighter bites to handmade ice cream.

Gensac themselves provided wine-tasting from their wide range, plus another of their specialities, armagnac.

For those not in the know, armagnac is the local 'brandy' particular to the Gascony region and specifically, the Gers.

There was also a horse show plus guided tours of both the stables and the wine/armagnac production facility.

A live band provided the music and the kids were entertained with a bouncy castle and face painting.

I just snapped away in my element. Not that different to a wedding really except there wasn't anyone as a focal point in a white frock.

Below are the highlight results; 2 short films and a series of pics.

Enjoy.
