Our last guests departed today and we are very pleased to say that we have had a simply fabulous first summer season at Le Tournesol. We have had some fantastic comments in our visitors book which are replicated on our guestbook page.
We have met wonderful people, made good friends and have lovely memories, often created over a glass or two of local vino!
We hope to welcome at least some of you back next year, meanwhile the gite is open all year for anyone who fancies an autumn or winter break!

Our gorgeous 20 month old working cocker - Poppy - continues to befriend our guests and delights in saying hello to them each day. She is also hoping someone might just throw the ball for her!
