Thank you to An Early 2018 guest who wrote his thoughts as a poem:-
“Ode to Montlieu”
We went to France for a treat
And came across a lovely Gite
Owned by Nigel and Suzanne too
“La Metairie de Montlieu”
Without
ado without a fuss
They
welcomed both the two of us
Gave
us info and their likes
And
trusted us with their bikes
Where
to eat, what food to try?
We
asked with quite a hungry sigh
We
know a place that will not fleece
In
Vouhe called the “Petite Caprice”!
The
food was good, the price just right
The
village itself a lovely sight
On
our return we sought more news
With
Nigel we just could not lose
“Try
Coulon” said he in Venis Vert
Immediately
we went without a care
Venice
green without a coat
On
the canal we took a boat
So
peaceful and nice it is a must
In
Nigels words you must always trust
How
to thank him is there a catch!
An
invitation to a football match!
See
England play in a warm up game
Before
they claim their rise to fame
Louis
joined us, not a fan fool hardy
Hoping
Southgate had selected Vardy!
An
England win – they are on the up
Now
off to Russia to lift the cup
Just
what is it we are trying to say?
Thank
you family for a lovely stay!
It makes us realise that we are doing something right, thank you again for such nice comments.
I think that our situation here helps tourists relax but also is ideal for site seeing, being in close proximity to the coast, Historic La Rochelle and Rochefort, Venis vert and of course the Islands of Re, Oleron & Aix.
