The season is now well underway. Here's a review from guests who left on Saturday...
"Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you what a wonderful week we had in Vermenton and how much we enjoyed staying in your house.
On our arrival, and after a long drive, we settled our stuff in and had a good mooch about - I love a quirky dwelling, so felt very at home in no time at all. We wandered down to Atac (supermarket) and along with the info John had imparted, the info from yourself, info I had gleaned before arrival and the info in the drawer - I set to working out the week's activities, and it went something like this :
Saturday Eve : A good wander around the village and into the park and across the rickety bridges to see the many lovely vistas of the river.
Sunday : Chablis Market, Vermenton 'Vide Grenier' (French equivalent of a boot sale), Back to Chablis for a wander around the town.
Monday : Tonnerre, Tanlay Castle, Noyers sur Serein
Tuesday : Arcy sur Cur caves, Vezelay, Avallon
Wednesday : Abbaye de Fontenay, Bussy Rabutin
Thursday : Bailly Caves, Auxerre, Joigny
Friday : Chateau de Bazoches, Morvan Forest, Chateau Chinon town & Vezelay for dinner (La Dent Creuse) - our only evening dinner out!
Saturday : Home via Monet's garden & house at Giverny
So, you can see that we had a very full schedule.
I could ramble on for hours about the lovely countryside, the gorgeous old historical buildings, the charming villages & your super home - but you'll die of boredom before the end of the email!
All that remains is for me to say thank you once more and hope that one day soon, we will be in a position to return ..... Graham is a painter/decorater by trade so if ever you wanted to offer a working holiday, just say the word, ha ha xx
Sally Ann xx
PS .. Having English TV and wifi were a real luxury too"
I've still got a couple of weeks left........
