Chapter 41

Let's get this show on the road. More specifically, this two-day extravaganza on the road. The drive to Chateau de Riviera is spectacular - Paris might be gorgeous with its cosmopolitan and rich history seeping through every brick, but driving through the countryside and outskirts of the city is an absolute privilege.

I wish I was the passenger, not the driver.?

It's 10:45am and I'm just finishing up setting the chairs with the decorators. I'm dressed and ready to go in a tailored knee-length black dress, my hair up in a tight bun, my ears adorned with drop down silver earrings. I'm wearing silver pumps but secretly I wish I could wear sandals to walk through the grass, but I'll get over it and be cautious not to get my shoes scuffed.
