Starstruck

We were in Azay le Rideau yesterday, minding our own business whilst walking back to Claudette after a very nice lunch, when a Mercedes van with blacked out windows drove (rather hastily, I thought) into a parking place and a whole team of people piled out.

Lead amongst them was the French TV historian, motivator in heritage conservation, and all round good egg Stéphane Bern, who then proceeded to wander off, leaving his (we assume) security team milling around the van. They eventually caught up with him and they proceeded towards the Chateau.

We didn't get any amazing photos with him. Or even of him.

But if anyone needs a photo of the back of Stéphane Bern's head, we're the ones to ask.

We later discovered that he was on his lunch break after filming at Chateau de l'Islette, and had we stayed 10 minutes longer at the restaurant...
