It’s been some time since the TAG Christmas raffle, but the prize of a night in La Reverie chambre d’hote in St Antonin was valid up until Easter, and I thought I feed back as John and I have just taken it now. The prize was actually won by local author, Maree Giles, but she very generously donated it to us, and what’s more, Maree also took in our 3 lively children for the night while we enjoyed our mini break!
La Reverie (website: www.lareveriefrance.com ) is a delightful chamber d’hote, which has been run by Andrea White for over 10 years. There are two guest rooms, both meticulously clean and tidy and nicely furnished. If anyone is in need of accommodation for visiting family and friends, I’d definitely recommend this place. A typical St Antonin building, the medieval town house is nestled into the back streets, in the ancient Tannery area (just behind the Querley’s cinema), giving it the best of both worlds: a peaceful location that also offers quick access to the town centre. For us, living à la campagna, on the plateau above Caylus, it was a novelty to stay in town, where we could enjoy a drink and dinner before strolling back to our room.
Andrea gave us a warm welcome and was really helpful in ensuring our stay was a pleasant one. After living in France for a year now, I’ve become accustomed to the lunchtime closures, but the random Monday closures still catch me out and I only remembered about this after I’d organised our schedule and made the booking. Fortunately, Andrea researched all local restaurants to find some that would be open on aMonday night, allowing us to enjoy our rare treat of a child-free, grown-up dinner! Thanks to Andrea for a great stay, and to you Val, and all the TAG readers for sorting out the Christmas raffle!
