What a wonderful place for our private wedding ceremony with family and friends, and what a careful way, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin arranged it. Starting in the early morning mist with a flower-ornated boat on the river Dordogne for the wedding couple and Mr. Benjamin as ceremonymaster.

We arrived late in the evening to find the pre wedding party finishing up. It was absolutely breath taking, tables were set out around the sunken pond dotted with... More
