Rural France II

The 'gite' that my stepdaughter's family are staying in is an old french farmhouse. The walls are 2 ft thick and the windows are tiny as can be seen here. Needless to say it is dark inside. I've worked my way through the 'bug' that I caught by starving it and not moving from the bed.

Three good things:
1. There is still a lot to explore.
2. I popped out for this photo briefly while the others were at an evening market which sounded wonderful.
3. Will have to get used to later hours here - bkfst 10am, lunch 3pm and dinner 9pm. Not altogether convinced that this is a 'good thing"!

Looks very inviting. Maybe with a glass or two of vin rouge.

[Lindy]

Well it certainly has character. That does look like a very nice little courtyard.

[Tony]

Looks like an interesting place.

[Jennifer]

Looks gorgeous! Bet it's nice and cool inside, hope you feel better soon.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great shot of this pristine looking little "gite" - even down to the square little patio , screaming-- this patch is yours !!!!

[Rick Schies]

Nice and cozy

[Cally]

Love this kind of building. Dreamy al fresco meals and cool house.

[Cathy Donohoue]

Looks like a lovely place to stay. You'd have to stay up until 1am just to be able to lay down after dinner at 9

[Denise]

What a gorgeous relaxing setting. So French.

[Maggiemae]

@cdonohoue umm..... they do, Cathy!

[Elizabeth]

So French with the blue door and stone courtyard! Enjoy!

[Terry]

Very pretty little place, but yes I would like a few more windows.

[Frances]

Lovely colours

[Molly]

So typically French - quite cold inside I should imagine. Enjoy relaxing!

[Debi 🐩]

[Pat Knowles]

Oh this is definitely my sort of place maggiemae...fave for the beauty & colour. Pretty blue & the red umbrella is just the icing on the cake!
Conquered that bug again....let's hope it's gone for good!

[Margaret Obey]

Love this MaggieMae, so wonderfully gallic

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Yes, it is a pretty building, Pat - not a comfy cosy place with squashy cushions but in a good area to see a lot. Bugs away!

[Maggiemae]

@dolphin Its not really hot outside, Molly so it can feel quite warm inside. They are not having a hot run of weather at the moment!

[Maggiemae]

@jesperani thanks Jennifer for your thoughts - I am feeling almost normal now but tired!

[Stephanie Swift]

What a very pretty place to get well in--glad you are doing that.

[Tremerryn]

Sounds wonderful to me - a beautiful scene. Glad you are feeling better.

[Darlene]

What a beautiful place and wonderful shot of it, Maggiemae.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks charming! Exactly the kind of place one should stay in if visiting the French countryside. At least in my imagination it is! So sorry to hear you picked up another sniffle!

[Gerry]

Fav a beautiful capture

[Bev]

Great shot, Maggie. It looks like a nice little place. I can't imagine windows being that small!! Glad you fought the bug off.

[Gillian]

What a fabulous setting! I'm sure it's lovely sitting out there in the evenings.

[Keri]

Typically French. Great colour for the doors!

[Gena Pegg]

You are killing me!! I am drooling all over my computer. Love this!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

What a lovely place to stay -- oh, I wish I were there!
