Chambre d’hôte – Journey down to Grimaud

Chambre d’hôte – Journey down to Grimaud. We stayed in This lovely Chambre d’hôte on our way down to Grimaud. We have stayed there before in March 2022. You can see the previous post here, however this time the miniature ponies seemed to be missing. The hosts are both very charming. The accommodation was delightful and the food was delicious.  Le Domaine is situated South of Mâcon in the heart of the Burgundian wine district.

My travel outfit consisted of a pair of comfy print trousers. Several years old originally from People Tree. They are a sustainable brand and use very good fabrics. My trousers have been washed dozens of times and have worn very well. Worth a look at their site. I find print trousers very useful on holiday as if you accidentally spill something the marks often don’t show.

Their bedrooms are always very tastefully decorated.

The most delicious breakfast the following morning before we continued our journey down to the South of France.

Chicatanyage

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • Looks fantastic & very chic! It’s on my list now. Printed trousers are brilliant on you but perhaps not so good for the heavier hip as it draws the eye there? I love the Cos black & white as well.

    • Hi Nicola
      Thank you for your comment. I agree with the print trousers if you have heavy hips however somehow as I get older I don't take so much notice of the rules! I just wear what I love.

  • Love your outfit! Yes, I agree with the comfy trousers and ‘stuff the rules’ attitude. I found a pair of loose, silk ones in my closet which I bought for a trip to Singapore years ago but was too afraid to wear. I took them along on my most recent trip and wore them every day! They were heavenly light and cool and will certainly be in my bag if I ever make it back to the sun in France and Italy!
