Nov 24: Thanksgiving message from Joe Smallhoover
Dear Friends and Fellow American Club Members,
Much is written about the importance of this great holiday, so I will be brief.
Benjamin Franklin, the forefather of our Club, thought that the turkey should be the national emblem and not the eagle for reasons to long to repeat here. But whether you will be celebrating with friends and family at home today or with the American Club of Paris on Friday evening, the turkey, dressing and all that goes with it reminds us all of how much we have to be thankful for.
Aside from all the obvious things, I am grateful for the efforts that our volunteers and Committee Members put in to keeping our Club vibrant.
On behalf of the Club's Executive Committee, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
Joe Smallhoover
President

Sep 23: Chateau de la Bourdaisière
The American Club of Paris & the Prince de Broglie
Invite you to spend a day in ‘another world’ only 55 minutes from Paris, a fabulous realm where art de vivre is the way of life. Steeped in history, Chateau de la Bourdaisière is now the domain of Prince Louis-Albert de Broglie, known as le Prince Jardinier.
This former medieval fortress from the 14th century today is a chateau hotel de charme, a bastion of eco-friendly restoration and gracious decoration by the Prince and Princess de Broglie. Its 200-acre park has many trails to explore, with art and nature to surprise you at every turn.
A jewel, la Bourdaisière is justly famous for its potager garden that nurtures 637 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. With its Viking-installed teaching kitchen in the conservatoire, the ‘tomato bar’ and barbecue in the garden itself, it is a delightful setting for an exclusive cooking class taught and hosted by Randall Price, former chef to ambassadors, teacher at La Varenne cooking school, host on The Travel Channel, and author of the delightful new book
« Chroniques Culinaires et Caustiques d’un Cuisinier Americain au Fin Fond de la France. »
After a quick TGV trip from Paris, your welcome to Chateau la Bourdaisiere starts with refreshing juice from the tomato and herb garden, followed by guided tours to the various gardens led by Prince de Broglie and the manager of the chateau, Martine de Roquefeuil, whose pet project is a magnificent Dahliacolor garden with 183 different Dahlias.
The cooking class will be followed, naturally, by a lunch highlighting the tomato in various guises, along with the Chateau’s white wine. So come and experience this extraordinary venue for la vie de chateau!
