| A bit about us |
| Chris and Wendy moved here in 1996. We havn't looked back since. After a number of years renovating stone barns into family gites, learning how to look after our guests and drinking many glasses of wine with them, we now feel very confident in our ability to offer just what young families like our own really need from a holiday here in France. We have not, however, become complacent. We are constantly thinking of new ideas to add to the enjoyment, every year we update, replace, renew and re- paint as well as add. Our cottages today are very different from what they were 10 years ago. In 1996, the most common question was 'is there an iron and a tea pot'. Times are different and expectations are higher. |

| It really is important to us that our guests enjoy their stay with us. Ask us as many questions as you can, we will be honest. If you are after crystal glasses and louis 14th furniture you are on the wrong web site ! Our cottages are comfortably furnished and well equipped but with the needs and comfort of young families in mind. |
| Over more recent years we have developed the wine theme to our guests stay. This sets us apart from everyone else. Chris worked all his adult life in the wine industry, selling, buying and teaching wine, its also a passionate hobby. Our wine tastings, family vine walks and guided chai visits add to the enjoyment of the parents holiday and are extremely popular, but its not compulsory of course ! Chris will happily chat all you like about wine in general, as long as you offer him a glass whilst hes doing it ! In fact he'll chat about anything with a glass in his hand ! |
| Benjamin (born March 2003) and Thomas (born August 2005) are our two boys. We are enjoying parenthood especially in such a beautiful rural environment where they are free to run around in great open spaces. Benjamin has started pre school, which he adores and he'll be by passing us with his French language skills very soon ! |

| Wendy has become a registered child minder here in France and for the near future we are planning a 'creche' facility at the cottages where Wendy can look after you children during the day to give you a break and some time to relax even more . |
