Parisians Christèle and Hubert moved from Paris to the small town of Lectoure in southwestern France, taking on the restoration of an 18th-century royal tannery.
Now operating as the Manufacture Royale de Lectoure, a spacious bed and breakfast, Christèle and Hubert designed a garden suite, called the “Jardin” that opens directly onto the property’s garden.
