Chateau Raissac


sea of artifacts inside the chateau,
including the bedside chocolates (ceramics)

sleeping in yesterday's glory

wine, wine everywhere
Chateau Raissac has its own vineyard and labels

oysters and rabbit dinner in the garden

• headed east into Languedoc land, the 19th century Chateau Raissac sits outside of Beziers surrounded by vineyard. several bottles of wine are consumed within a few hours. the oyster and rabbit dinner is prepared by Jean and Christine, traditional french with a bit eastern twist. a perfect evening of good food and good conversation with a group Norwegian ladies.
