Good point. Lalande is the goose that laid the golden egg.
I somehow suspect the Patreons would wet their big girl panties in rapture if their heroine sold out and bought a 19th c. McMansion like Edd and Anna's, though. She would get even my attention if she bought a mouldy old sewage-soaked palazzo in Venice.
That would take real cojones, though, and narcs don't have them.
Thanks, I missed the Chenonceau blog.
I'm not seeing any reference to it, I meant to say, in the decoration of Lalande or Davy's plan for the garden. She hits the later, rococo, imperial Versailles button every time. Appropriate (sensitive, respectful) local reference would be to Chenonceau, Renaissance. Sorry for not making myself clearer.
