A touchstone is a benchmark or a mental
yardstick that one uses to see if things or experiences measure up to
this standard. Dining at Les Crayères, in the Champagne region of France
is one of our touchstones for excellence in fine dining in a majestic
setting with impeccable service.
We first heard about Les Crayères just
one year after it opened in the 80’s, and stayed in one of the 20 rooms
at this fully restored classic French Château for a weekend we have
never forgotten. On our recent trip to Paris we returned to Les
Crayères to celebrate Alexandra’s birthday, just for lunch. The trip
took under one hour from Paris via the amazing TGV train traveling at
about 250 miles per hour.
When we arrived we were graciously
greeted and escorted to the outdoor patio that overlooks a spectacular
park with acres of lawn. We were served some delightful tidbits to amuse
our taste buds and to accompany a wonderful glass of Bollinger Rose
Champagne from the region.
Then we were called indoors to the
dining room to indulge in a French gastronomic extravaganza that
exceeded our extremely high expectations and our memory from of our
first experience there.
The meal was sublime and the service
was, once again, impeccable. What we appreciated the most was the level
of consistency that has been maintained over time by this fine
establishment. It was as if time had not elapsed between visits. And,
that was remarkable!
As a purveyor of luxury goods or a
provider of luxury services impeccability is a standard worthy of
striving for in your business or profession. To embody this standard
requires a commitment to excellence over time. Are you up to the
challenge?
