The partners of Groupe Symphorien purchased a house and a winery in late 2024. We took ownership of the house in January 2025. During our visits to the house in the buying process we knew there would need to be some renovations. After taking possession of the house, we discovered more renovations would be necessary. This blog captures some of the contemporaneous events along the way. Scott, Linda, and Eric stayed at the maison in July 2025 and began the process of furnishing the house.
