RECOMMENDATIONS AND TESTIMONIES FROM GUESTS OF THE CHATEAU DU GRAND LUCE
FROM 2014 TO 2017
Jean-Paul,
The Chateau did not become the Chateau until you arrived. Before, it was just a big house. You and Sonia added the passion, warmth, love and character.
Thank you for giving me such great memories. I wish you well. Please reach out to me if I can ever be of any assistance.
Warm regards
Scott

Hi Jean-Paul,
I just want to thank you for your warm welcome and wonderful hospitality during our stay at Chateau du Grand-Luce, you made it perfect!
I am certain the Chateau will never be the same without you. If you manage a Chateau near Le Mans I am sure we will want to stay next year.
I wish you every success in whatever you chose to do in the future and hope we meet again.

Jean-Paul!
You've been on my mind.
We are planning another event similar to last summer's but in Lake Como, Italy, and the planning has been. . . . nothing like what you did for us last year.
So, if I can ever help provide a reference for your amazing work, just let me know.
Do let us know your plans too. You were so great to work with - we could easily plan another trip around wherever you are next!
