Well I'm glad you like 'Chateau de Gateau' - although if you say it with an Estuary twang it does sound like the sort of thing Del Boy might say to Rodders don't you think?
Was trying to think of a classier alternative and came up with 'Le Millefeuille' or "Maison du Millefeuille' because:
Millefeuille is my favourite pastry
Both Brits and French know it's a pastry
The english translation of millefeuille is 'a thousand leaves' - so a subtle reference to DD's love of gardening.
