Hi Barbara,
We live in the south of Burgundy, between Cluny and Charolles. We are very close to both the Beaujolais, Maconnais and Chalonnais regions.
We are in the process of finishing off ourLittle House" which will be a luxury gite, with a fully fitted kitchen, ideal for anyone who might like to combine a holiday with one week being cooked for and another week cooking forthemselves. We have wonderful views and a heated swimming pool.
Like Tracy, would like to chat.

Kind regards

We decided to 'do' Valentines day on Saturday night when neither of us have been out at work - but Crement will also be on the list. Although as it happens, the snow cancelled work so we went for a Croque and frites maison at the local cafe and having a kir at lunch time felt very decadent!

At the moment it looks as though we shall be drinking Cremant de Bourgogne,as we are experiencing steady snow which has been falling all night and looks as though it is set in for the day.
We should have been going out to L'Estaminet in Mazille to try out their dinner menu!

Was just going by the fact that the notice is still up at the Mairie - haven't actually looked at it though. Looking on the internet, it appears it did finish on the 15 for the S & L -need to check out 21 as well for us though as we live on the border!

Hi Tracy, I thought that the Arret in 71 finished on about the 15th September.

Ah yes, noticed the rain comments. Here in Burgundy I believe we are still under a drought, fortunately it's not a wine drought!
