Guy Fawks

On the very night that the Gunpowder Plot was foiled, on November 5th, 1605, bonfires were set alight to celebrate the safety of the King. Since then, November 5th has become known as Bonfire night. The event is commemorated every year with fireworks and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.


The Maltus invited all the local Brits to a bonfire party.
The Maltus own Chateau Teyssier.

Check out the kitchen wine cellar, they are always very generous with their guests.
