Arrivals and Departures

After a week of sunny blue skies, the rain has returned and the clouds. As it should be, it is only early March after all.

But we had so much fun in the sun, and that is how I believe Marc and I will remember Château de Feÿ. The view over the valley, the white stone blinding in the sun, the soft grass, a lively barbecue, the forest. Or will it be the perpetual fog of late January and the muddiness of the earth that remains?

There is a near perpetual extravagance to what goes on at Feÿ, at least at first glance. Themed parties, cyber-workshops, spontaneous art installations, ghosts and AI-oracles. And yet, the magic of the château has revealed itself to me, over time, in its quietest corners and most mundane minutes. Like sharing a cooking shift, a cup of coffee, a ride into town, a wagon on the train from Joigny. It is on that train that I have felt most at home at Feÿ, leaving and returning in the company of others that have shared the experience of the château. It makes me look forward to a return, some day.
