Le salon du thé du jardin des roses in Compiègne

Hello everyone,
first I would like to wish you a happy new year! I hope you had a good start in 2014! Those following me on Instagram know that I have been spending Christmas in Picardy with my family. I was there for the first time in months and it was really great seeing everyone.
Between Christmas and New Year, my mum took us to a magical place in the garden of my home town's Castle (the Château of Compiègne). A new tea salon opened last summer in the roses garden of the Castle's park. The place is usually closed during the winter, but it was open during Christmas time, and it was just magical. We had Brunch there and the cake was delicious!
I Just love it when historical sites are given a second life and used like this. What do you think? Isn't it just very special and beautiful?
Here are a couple of pictures for you.
Speak to you soon
xoxo
Elodie
