Candle Light dinner party in Léran
There is something very enchanting about candle light, especially at a dinner party displayed in a garden.
Candle Light Dinners
It’s a beautiful nineteenth-century house in Léran, in the Ariège, a dozen kilometres south of Mirepoix. The house is jam-packed with antiques and works of art from various periods. What I prefer though is the garden. In the summer, when we get there in August, we often have drinks and dinner parties outside.
The garden and above, a giant wisteria. The vines of the wisteria intricately wind like the metro of Paris. A beautiful walkway shielded by the beauty of the woody plant leads you through the garden, there is candlelight everywhere.
The Art nouveau window in the background would be worth a blog post in itself. Stained glass with another garden of its own showing off, though now it is a beautiful sight I wonder how the sunlight hits it in the mornings, giving off stunning colors.
Candles everywhere. A true garden dinner brightened by candle light.
Getting ready for dinner.
I never fail to bring my camera for the light is beautiful. A mixture of electricity and candlelight while the greens in this garden are incredible, the tones ranging from lime to emerald.

Bringing in more chairs for the dinner party. Mr Frog is watching, he is the guardian of the garden.
The Light from Above
Seen from above. The multicolor Spanish tile roof, the lights, and the flower-full trees. I wonder how old this roof is to show this sort of beautiful and visible wear.
Candlelight and starlight too. Not too much light pollution where the stars are not visible, but still showcases a small conservatory. No candle light can be seen here, but I guess that’s not a bad thing up here.
The Warm Lantern
A garden dinner surrounded by family and friends, and the wisteria. Though it is not in full bloom, you can feel the beauty through its wooden twisted vines. The candle’s light around dinner provides a familiar ambiance.
My favourite shot. A warm orange lantern light illuminated the bird bath for the couple taking a break for a refreshing drink. The flower inside of the lantern draws your eyes toward it. The moss growing on the wall alongside the branches and faucet offer a sort of disguise.
