Moulinsart pour Papa
It’s a bit geeky, but it had to be done. I grew up on the Tintin comic books, which my Dad bought for us all. And since the Château de Cheverny is the original Château de Moulinsart (Marlinspike Hall) we just couldn’t stay away.

Allons enfants de la Patrie
Today is Bastille Day, the French national holiday.
Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L’étendard sanglant est levé,
L’étendard sanglant est levé.
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils et vos compagnes !
