Last year John hosted KEYS TO THE CASTLE for America's HGTV, where he toured four English castles. This April, John went on location in France to film this year's KEYS TO THE CASTLE, visiting four chateaux in Normandy and the Loire Valley.
These pictures are from Gavin Barker's private collection and were taken at the fourth chateau that John visited - the 14th Century Chateau de Tennessus.
John and Gavin were
the guests of the Freeland family and they had a wonderful time making new friends. As you'll see from the pictures below, John was very happy to get to know the canine members of the household too.
