A royal mistress imprint was made at Château de Chenonceau

Oh la la! Royal French mistresses knew how to live in style! And I will tell you just how on Sept. 22.

Please join me when I give a talk on a favorite topic of mine – royal mistresses (where has all that elegance and tasteful intrigue gone, I often lament). More specifically, “The Role of the Royal Mistress in the Design of French Palaces.”

This will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22 at the lovely Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. All proceeds of this “Tea & Talk” event will support the restoration of Greystone. For information, contact Friends of Greystone at (310) 286-0119 or friends@greystonemansion.org
