Our delightful French Gîte and Garden

I found these photos in one of my 'France' folders.

I had forgotten about them

however they are perfect to tie in with the

parties I'm linking to this week!

I can't remember if I told you that I organised a gîte to rent

for our time in France last June/July.

The family have been doing major renovations

so we thought it best that we had our own retreat!

It was within walking distance of the family and as

you can imagine there was much excitement and 

toing and froing with the girls!


The house was built in the 1700's

it had two staircases inside

which indicates part of it was probably a barn

originally.

This photo is of another barn on the west side of

the house.

You can just see the ping pong table on the right,

this was our entertainment each afternoon!

The girls had wonderful fun exploring

every nook and cranny in the house.


It was a very comfortable house to stay in

 and well stocked with books and music CDs.

The elderly owners were originally from England

and lived there for several years.

Sadly they have both died but the house is still

in the family.

They befriended my daughter and kindly lent

her books to read in english.

I'm joining Karen for Sunlit Sunday
Judith for Mosaic Monday
Stephanie for Roses of Inspiration
Bernideen for BTTCG
and
Jess for The Art of Homemaking Monday

Thank you for your visits and comments

Take care and
be kind to one another.

à bientôt
