Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

  • How thrilling to see Quebec spotlighted in the Bordeaux Market, more people to see our awesome Canadian style..... To have any region of Canada spotlighted and shared with other cultures just makes my day

    • Bordeaux and Quebec city are twin/sister cities since 1962! In the summer in the Québec old port we had a Bordeaux wine event until 2019, but I think they want to re start it :)

    • 🎄⛄️ 🇨🇦 Hello and Happy holidays from Montreal! So nice to see that Québec was spotlighted at the Bordeaux Market. In Quebec we have had a big influx of French immigrants over the last 10 years who wanted to purchase farms in France but farmland was far cheaper for them here in Québec. So we now have many more French style organic foods in our farmers markets and shops including organic beef, pork, chicken, and wines from vineyards our new French immigrant farmers started. Francophone Quebecers and those of us whose ancestry is part French, love great quality food & drink. It is a focus of ever big party. By living here Montreal which is a melting pot of cultures, we are also exposed to the best foods from a vast number of ethnicities . We are spoiled for choice! In a 2023 Canada wide survey for the top 100 restaurants, Montreal had 27 of the top 100 restaurants in Canada.

    • Bordeaux, BX (diminutif) meaning in french Bord d'Eaux (Water side or river side, at the limit) Border, Bording in english comes from Bord (limite) border "verb" (limiter) a river ( coming from french, rive, rivière) a rive which is Bording water ;)

I couldn’t think of anyone better to be custodians of these wonderfully crafted villagers and animals.Steve your artistic skills are greater than just as a painter, the shelter looked so professional and aged in keeping with the scene. And Sarah, how cleverly you made that wall and the Well. The whole scene came alive with all the rocks and ground cover - absolutely fantastic!👏👌🎄🙏🏻🥰

  • What a fun video! I love the Christ-centered mural at 8:00! (My interpretation.) I bet if I went everyday to that market, I would see something new in the artwork.🎨Cool that you made stick and clay pieces for your Christmas Village! Great idea, I've never thought of doing that! About 25 yrs ago, my husband surprised me with a couple of porcelain houses for Christmas and the Minnesota snow village has been growing ever since. It changes every year, like you said. I've had skiers and kids on toboggans sledding down a big hill, a country scene with a Victorian farmhouse and barn with animals, two-tier cityscapes, and always an ice skating rink with skaters. I use an 7"x 9" oval mirror for the rink/pond with "snow" and shrubbery around the edges. I love the variety of villagers as much as the buildings. They make the village bustling with activity as well as lit buildings and street lamps.
