MAXIMUM Wholesomeness | Manor & Maker

When we lent our front parc to the town for their brocante, we never expected what would unfold... 🏰✨
A year of work happened in one morning as our entire village came together to transform our space. Then hundreds of neighbors discovered our château with fresh eyes, celebrating local artists and sharing meals under ancient trees.
Sometimes the most beautiful thing you can do is simply provide the space and trust in the magic that follows. 💫

Thanks to our village of Saint Germain des Pres, and particularly our expo artists:

Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.
