Chateau Elan

Bright and early Sunday morning(August 2nd) we headed to Georgia for Mass at St. Michael's and to pick Dallas Michael up from some friends who had let him stay with them after the boys camp in Georgia was over. Every time we go we always pass the Chateau Elan in Braselton, GA.

(Un Dimanche mantin, le 2 Aout, nous sommes aller en Georgia pour la Messe a St. Michel) Paddy's Irish Pub is one of the many restaurants at the Chateau.

The Pub and all the furnishings were built in Dublin, Ireland and shipped to Chateau Elan in 1997.

The old oak wine barrels were used to make high tables.
