Its the last day of the year. It may be raining - again in the Uk, but here in the Languedoc we are very smuggly enjoying yet again temperatures of 18 degrees, with a cloudless sky and bright sunshine. The hens are happy and are still laying every day. The days are bit by little bit getting longer already, and the trees which have barely lost their leaves are already showing the first buds of Spring.
We have as usual had winter guests enjoying getting away from colder areas of the world. The two barns are cosy and comforting, and a great way of seeing this part of the Real South of France. Guests are using the bikes, taking picnics, and generally slowing down and de stressing.
Of course straight after Christmas is the traditional time for booking for the coming season, and already we have most of July booked in Papillon. How lovely that some guests return for many years, they seem to feel its like their own home, but in the sun, without the housework.!
We do have some offers for the Spring and Autumn seasons, so any one who fancies some time with us any time from March 10th until end of April, or from Nov 1st till March 2014. will receive a mini Pause Parfaite, - a chance to sample some of the best wines in the Languedoc in a chauffeured Jag. See www.lapauseparfaite.com . If you are interested in this offer please contact us at www.legrandhermitage.com quoting lappoffer/spring or lappoffer/autumn.
