Imagine a moment, opening your mailbox and inside awaits a true treasure. A letter from Chateau de Gudanes, crackled with care, paper hand-made and the words old fashioned, tiny and typed. Enclosed is a letter, or rather what the French once upon a time called a missive. This missive is an invitation to step back in time on a voyage of discovery, as if in a trance stepping upon grey cold cobblestones along a once forgotten carriageway towards a centuries old castle… if only the walls could talk...
Four times each year, beautifully prepared correspondence leaves Château de Gudanes and makes its way across the world. In times long ago, missives would make their way across the lands and seas, carried by pigeons. At the château the pigeonnier still remains and it is this petit outbuilding that has inspired The Château Letter Club.
Printed at the château and assembled by hand, each missive offers a glimpse into the changing seasons of château life - from stories of the restoration and recipes from the kitchen, to forgotten traditions, craftsmanship and news of the gardens. Created to be read slowly and cherished, each letter is accompanied by thoughtfully chosen château inspired paper ephemera.
We invite you to read and re-read in real enjoyment, going slowly and carefully allowing time for the words to wander towards the senses - to see the setting, to hear the village church bells, to breathe in the scent of the mountain air that lingers in the scenery.
This purchase is for one letter and shall be an ongoing subscription on a seasonal basis. Please kindly note, your subscription shall be charged every 3 months from the date of your original purchase, and may not exactly align with the season or the arrival of your letter itself.
Proceeds from The Château Letter Club will directly assist in the restoration and repurposing of the château’s original pigeon house.
