A Paris Detour: Collecting My Royal Photo Archive

If you've only just found us... Where have you been? Want more? This is a good place to start:    • Start Here / Our Château Story   We step away from château life for a couple of days in Paris to collect my Royal Photographic Archive. What should feel like a simple pickup turns unexpectedly emotional, like the end of an era. Claire and I head into the city, stay in the Marais, and make a little adventure of it along the way. Between croissants, long walks, and a few tempting “should we just move here?” moments, we find surprising inspiration for our own chapel renovation in a small Parisian church. There’s also a very brief hello with @chateaulove as a precursor to a proper visit soon. Then comes the real reason for the trip: visiting the agency basement where my photographs have lived for decades. A lifetime in boxes, filing cabinets, and envelopes from the film days—images from years spent travelling with the British Royal Family, and a period that now feels quietly historic. Chapters are included, as always.
