Candlelight dinner party in Léran

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 Art nouveau window in the background would be worth a blog post in itself.

Candles everywhere.

Getting ready for dinner.

I never fail to bring my camera for the light is beautiful. a mixture of electricity and candlelight.
