Life in France

Our delightful stay in a charming B & B in Mâcon.

We arrived in Grimaud on Monday afternoon. Our journey was good apart from torrential rain on Sunday. We always break our trip with an overnight stay in a Chambre d’hote. It gives us the opportunity to explore different areas of France, meet french people and eat delicious food. This time we chose to stay south of Mâcon at Le Domaine. Let me tell you about our delightful stay in a charming B & B in Mâcon

Our hosts at Le Domaine Gary and Sophie were charming and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was absolutely delightful as you can see from the photos below. I loved the design and the attention to detail. It was different to many of the other houses we have stayed in. I would describe the decor as modern with a French touch. There are many features that I hope to be able to incorporate when we finally get to buy our new house in the UK.

I particularly liked the sign with our names. It was positioned just outside our room. A very personal touch. It was a large room but felt cosy as it doubled as a sitting room with a sofa and an area to sit and read.

Above I am wearing my joggers from a selection at MeandEm and my new green cardigan from Cotton Traders (gifted).

I have always loved horses. I used to ride a lot when I was younger and had my own pony. So I was fascinated to visit these miniature horses. They belonged to the farmer next door. We were informed by our host that they are definitely small horses and not ponies. They are bred in Argentina. They were very friendly and apparently can be very playful.

I am planning on going to St.Tropez market this Saturday to come back then to see what I have found.

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.

  • Oh, what a beautiful B&B and what lovely views as well. You deserved a lovely break Josephine after all the stress of packing and moving. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

  • Lovely place! I suppose you had to go out to eat at a local restaurant. The cuisine in Burgundy is so delicious I’m sure you had a great meal.

    • Hello Julia
      I should have said in the post that our hosts cooked us the most delicious diner using fresh local produce. Breakfast was just as good.
