You'll heave a sigh of relief at the elegant French touch at work in this charming country cottage: not a frill or doily in sight. Just the soothing tones of taupe and white, with a touch (just a touch) of toile du juoy.

Settle into the comfy red sofas after a day spent exploring the local wilderness, and soak up the atmosphere while you wait for Remi and Ginette Bancal to prepare you a meal. The food is cuisine bourgeois - simple dishes making the most of produce that is fresh, seasonal and local (very local; it's growing just outside your bedroom!)

You can simply go with Remi's choice of wine; he has a long history as a sommelier so he'll find just the right thing for your mood and interests. Or if you want to learn more about the local industry he can talk about it in detail with you.

The next morning a wonderful breakfast awaits: brioche, house-made preserves and excellent coffee.

This place would be perfect for a house-party of food and wine-loving friends.
