#1 Welcome to a coffee break at the Château | Coffee Break at the Château

Description

Based in the village of Monnaie (which literally translates to "Money"—the ultimate irony), Mascha and Bérengère introduce you to their respective estates: Les Belles Ruries and Le Mortier.

In this episode:

Mascha explains why her life is less "silk gowns" and more "searching for WiFi."
Bérengère reveals why a château is actually a sentient being that eats money.
We discuss the "Instagram vs. Reality" of the Loire Valley.
The mystery of the bridal suite leak: Is it a pipe, or is it a ghost? (Spoiler: Either way, it's going to be expensive).

Grab a coffee (or something stronger) and join us for the first—and hopefully not last—episode of the season!

About Coffee Break at the Château

Welcome to Coffee Break at the Château, the podcast that opens the heavy oak doors and lets you see what’s actually happening behind the closed shutters of the Loire Valley.

Hosted by Mascha (Les Belles Ruries) and Bérengère (Le Mortier), this is the English-language sister to our French podcast "Pause Café Au Château" -but with a twist. While our French episodes dive deep into various topics (heritage, businesses, farming, forestry...), our English version is a shorter, punchier, and more spontaneous look at the absurdity of our daily lives.

Expect wit, a bit of grit, and plenty of "Château reality."

We’re talking about:

The Château Tax: Why a bag of cement costs more when you have a turret.
The WiFi Wars: Trying to get a signal through three meters of tuffeau rock.
The Garden of France: It sounds lovely until you’re the one mowing five hectares of grass.

If you love France but prefer your history served with a side of humor and a strong cup of coffee, you’re in the right place. Join us every fortnight for a glimpse into the beautiful, expensive, and hilarious chaos of managing a French monument.
