Christel de Noblet |
 |
For Christel de Noblet, the world is an oyster. She keeps moving from
landmark to landmark... She was born and raised in the shadow of the
Eiffel Tower, Paris, France. She studied law and became an avocat.
Because of passion, for her husband and for the whisky, she moved to
Scotland where she became lecturer and mother of a little Marie. She
left the bonny hills of Scotland for the swaps of Louisiana where, there
again, she bored to death students! She studied journalism after
realizing that friends and family would keep any thing she wrote to
them… and had been published ever since in different French travel
magazines. After many Carnivals in New Orleans, the family, now enlarged
with a little American, Marc, moved to Beijing, China.
There, they couldn’t stop traveling, from Bali to Urumqi whether by
plane, boat or camel back… The travel-writer had plenty to write about,
specializing suddenly on ‘travels with young children’ with the birth of
Flora… (Did I hear someone said she should write a book about giving
birth on different continents?) Next move was to come closer to Big Ben,
start drinking tea at 5 p.m. and get used to the ‘proper’ English
accent… After the Scottish one, the American and the Chinese one, she
was ready for the English one! More classes to bore more students, more
articles to entertain more readers. No more babies to drive her
[lovingly crazy but another business on the side: the transformation of
the family chateau into an exclusive rental that many American guests
have already visited. Christel can be contacted at the

Caillotière website:

Stories:
Loire Valley Castle and Cuisine - "All
my life I have been a Francophile, spending every nickel I had on trips to
France, books about France, French wines and French girlfriends. Short of asking
for an immigrant visa, there remained one possibility in my ongoing quest to
better understand this magnificent country. I had to explore French cuisine, not
as a customer but as a creator! I have always loved to cook, but doing it in
France was part of the cliché I wanted to experience, a little bit like
asking the guy who sings in the shower if he wants to go live on, to actually
perform a show." [Visit this Feature]
