And this extra factor is a very subtle one, but really the most important of them all.

The towns chosen must be living towns.

Not towns that had ossified into tourist museums or shopping malls, and not the “summer vacation” towns that had already been invaded and totally populated by expatriate foreigners.

Of all the villages and towns we visited, many very pretty and interesting, only three really satisfied all of our stringent stipulations.

And it happened that the choice, which had seemed perplexing and difficult, was suddenly made without any effort at all! This is how it happened…

The moment we passed under the ancient stone gateway and entered the picture book bastide of Monpazier, (pronounced mon-puz-zee-ay) it was the clear choice for Dordogne.

And the instant we motored down the clipped plane tree lined boulevard, passing the remarkable 13th Century fenestrated tower it was impossible to think of anywhere else in Provence that could offer as much to the visitor as Uzès. (pronounced you-zezz)

And again, the first glimpse of Chinon (pronounced shee-non), cradled between the beautiful river Vienne and the rocky spur wearing its château like a crown, told us that this was the place we were searching for.

We breathed a sigh of relief. Home at last! But not quite yet… Home…
What could we do to make you, our guests, really feel at home?

How to feel at home...
