The road to Lagrasse - October 2008
And if you do go there's another reason for showing you my family's lovely home in the village of Caunes-Minervois near Carcassonne.
You've left the nicest comments about the beautiful garden with inviting pool. You know the food is scrumptious. Sleeping soundly behind the heavy blue wood shutters, in a comfy bed, is the perfect night's rest after a busy day of sightseeing, market browsing, vineyard hiking, wine tasting.........and treasure hunting at the many brocantes and vide-grenier sales.
So, why don't you take a trip to the South of France and stay in this lovely place?
John and Alison will open their home to you for Bed & Breakfast and, if you want a wonderful dinner, they will prepare an evening meal you will never forget!
The above images were taken during my stay in October 2008.

Contact Alison or John at caunesminervois@gmail.com for more details if you are interested in staying here.
I guarantee your visit will be memorable.
If you require a spacious rental house in Caunes-Minervois I know of just the place and can share details.

Oh how you have stirred my longing for that wonderful country that we love so much.
ReplyDeleteJust now it is doubtful that we will ever go again, just as we are unlikely to visit the US again, our trip for the spring has been cancelled beacuse of OH's ill health, but one can dream!!!!!
Wonderful pictures............
I can't make the journey but thank you for the pics, it looks beautiful
ReplyDeleteMary! It is so beautiful there! Last night Ry and I were talking about trip and planning our trip to Europe...(sometime we don't really know yet) we just gonna have to go there!! I'm sure your brother will just as sweet as you are dear Mary. Wish you have nice and warm Sunday. Tell Bob I said Hello! Hugs ~ Vanessa
ReplyDeleteWell, as beautiful as these pictures are, and they are, I still like your home area of England better. I just love all of England and have never been to the part you lived in. Heidi says we need you to show it to us.

What a lovely trip that would be. I bet they have a lot of people who would want to stay with them.
ReplyDeleteIt is a place to feed our soul. All perfection!
ReplyDeleteMary, this place is so lovely. Your hosts look so kind and full of wonderful stories. Did they speak English or did you practice your French? I want to go there too. sigh.
