The unique know-how of the Atelier floral de Chenonceau and its MOF designer, Jean-François Boucher, comes to fruition this year through the art of hosting and particularly for these holidays:
Forest table, with moss, mushrooms and bouquets of foliage.
In the famous kitchens, there is an “all chocolate” table and a table garnished with Panettone, the tasting of which is part of the Christmas traditions.
Baroque table with huge candlesticks. It is the Venetian spirit that takes over the great Gallery on the water, in a castle so close to Most Serene Venice.
