Join one of the working days at the Chateau.
Yes to be frankly honest we are charging you to come and work! These ‘Garden’ days are an opportunity to come and visit us at the Chateau. There will be an abundance of food and drink, and we will be on hand to answer any questions. In return you have to help make the place beautiful! Sadly we are unable to take children or pets on ‘work’ days. The garden and grounds are still a bit of a blank canvas so all good suggestions gratefully received! There is a degree of manual work expected although some jobs will be gentler than others, and no matter what the weather, we will be outside working, so please dress appropriately.

Packages are customised to the requirements of the client, and Dick and Angel have the facilities to provide everything from outdoor challenges to boardroom discussions, all set in the beautiful chateau and with the highest standard of hosting, food and refreshment.

Husband and wife Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree invite you to spend an intimate – maximum of three couples per weekend – French Food Lovers’ experience in their home, Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson.
Set in fairytale surroundings within the Pays de la Loire, France, the Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson sits proudly on the site of an ancient fort, surrounded by twelve acres of stunning parkland.
Compared to the rest of France, three times as many people of Mayenne work the land, and local produce abounds in the markets. Many of the stallholders are locals, selling their surplus harvest.
Dick Strawbridge has always enjoyed growing and rearing his own food, so his move to France was home from home. After becoming a finalist in Celebrity Masterchef, Dick’s love for food became apparent to the nation, and when he met Angel Adoree, founder of The Vintage Patisserie and author of three vintage cook-books, their life became one big food lovers adventure.
Dick and Angel often talked about their dream weekend and what it would entail. Having moved to France, they are now in the position to host a fabulous feast of delicious food and great wine; a celebration of their French country life.
