Our journey down to South of France

It is a long drive down from London to the South of France, roughly 800 miles, our friends manage to do the whole journey in one day but that is a bit too much for me so we always try and find an interesting B & B or small hotel to stay in around Beaune, preferably with the promise of a good diner washed down with some excellent Burgundy wine. This time we were a little late in finalising our travel arrangements and many of the smaller ‘hoteleries’ were fully booked however we did find somewhere that turned out to be lovely, quiet and very welcoming with a really quirky and unusual restaurant just 5 mins walk away. Perfect!

Hotel de Clos – Montagny les Beaune – An old converted farmhouse just on the outskirts of Beaune

The beautiful garden of the Hotel de Clos – Sadly not used much this season due to the nearly continual rain

Inside the very quirky restaurant – Le berger du temps

There are not many restaurants where a wooden cat dressed as a ‘religieuse’ and a cow sit at the next table and watch you eat! We later chatted to the ‘patron’ and discovered that they are made in the village next to ours in the Var, so we are planning on going there next week to see what we can discover.

and the food was delicious

Thank you for reading. I really love to hear from you and appreciate the time you take to leave comments.

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.
