Presentation
When time stretches to the point of merging with space ...
When slices of space-time are reshuffled like playing cards ...
When eras merge and converge at the point of singularity where the world as we know it ceases to exist ...
Another universe opens up to us in all its splendour, a place where time bends and stones whisper ancient stories: the château de La Voulte, a stone vessel that has survived the ages and whose very matter seams evanescent, forged in lava by the sword nobility of the Haute-Auvergne.
Outside
Crusaders in shining armour, proud-eyed knights swearing their solemn oaths, swift to pay blood tribute for the King and the Church, bailiffs of the Auvergne mountains, seneschals of Rouergue, deputies of the nobility to the Estates General, former President of the Council, servants of the State, strong-willed women who carried the estate through sheer sacrifice, a twelve-years-old petite Dame de La Voulte who married for the honour of her name, little sisters from the Aurillac convent hiding from the Revolution atop a tower - how many were born, loved, suffered, laughed and dreamed within these walls?
Noble ladies with diaphanous hands, scented with secrets, whose silky gowns still seem to whisper through the halls, how many lives have woven the fabric of this château over the years?
Inside
When the blue of the sky and the green of the landscape turn fluorescent, becoming so intense that they overwhelm your senses like nowhere else, when the murmur of the river, the song of the birds, the chirping of the crickets, the shimmering of the light on volcanic stone, the scent of woods and meadows, all blend together to the point where you feel intoxicated by this nature so beautiful and so pure...
When reality touches dream and nothing matters anymore except your presence in the world, more intense here than it has ever been ...
When you live a thousand years and a thousand lives in a single day...
When the Beautiful, the Just and the True have finally found their place and all is pure harmony ...
Then you know that life is here, simple and tranquil.
To awaken your inner knight, your fairytale princess, to see the stars shine in your children's eyes ...
