"Those who are small in spirit, who are mean, narrow-minded or timid, should leave entertaining to others."

Who knew? Marie-Helene's grandmother was the daughter of Salomon de Rothschild, Guy's great-uncle. Like the Hapsburgs, the Rothschilds must have liked keeping the power, the money and the culture within the family.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly knew how to live well. But I will forgive them all of that because they eventually donated their chateau to the University of Paris. Well done Marie-Helene and Guy!
