The Louisiana Chapter invites you to a book-signing, presentation, and dinner with the owners of Château de Purnon.
When former Australian politician Tim Holding and his fiancee Felicity Selkirk discovered a crumbling French chateau just south of the Loire Valley, they could not have imagined the crazy adventure that would follow. They will discuss their book, Château Reawakening, which chronicles the story of the restoration.
Recklessly committing their life savings and mastering new skills along the way, Tim and Felicity uncover Chateau de Purnon’s intriguing past while working
to safeguard her future. Guided by one of France’s foremost heritage architects and assisted by bemused locals, this is a story of optimism in the face of sometimes overwhelming odds.
5:30 – 6:30 p.m. – Book Signing at Garden District Books
7:00 – 9:00 p.m. – Presentation and Dinner at New Orleans Country Club
