French Country Hideaways – Casey Blondes
Imagine awakening in a castle. You slip out of your poster bed, open french windows and step onto a stone balcony. You take in the view of surrounding vineyards that slope down to a quaint tile-roofed village in the misty river valley below. This isn’t a dream. You can actually spend the night in an authentic French château or manor house, one with all the personal care of a bed-and-breakfast. Casey O’Brien Blondes moved to France from her native New York sixteen years ago with her husband. After several years in Paris, the couple moved to a restored farmhouse in the Loire Valley, where Blondes became immersed in the local culture. |

For centuries, the country’s small châteaux have remained secret, closed to all but the families of the owners. |
