Trying to escape the chaos, noise & dust of having major renovations done on our house, we stayed out and about as much as possible. Friends from Austin were in town and we showed them our favorite haunts in Amboise & also discovered a new favorite restaurant. We took a road trip to Château Mareuil, had a day of brocante browsing, and ended our week with a jaunt through Paris. See all the fun we had & learn our Paris pro tip!

If you love fixing up old houses, chateau renovation, old home transformation, DIY projects, brocante, antiques, and all things French, come along on our adventure! We're an American couple renovating a maison bourgeoise (chateau charm on a small scale) in the historic town center of Amboise, in the Loire Valley of France.
