Response from the owner Thank you for thinking to leave a review of Chez Marie, we appreciate the time taken to do this. We agree with you about the total calm and tranquillity of the beautiful surrounding countryside, here we are truly blessed! So pleased that you enjoyed the wonderful walks on the doorstep and the fabulous clarity of the night sky, not to be taken for granted in this day and age. Oradour Sur Glane is as you rightly say, an impression maker....Really happy that you had a wonderful week of autumn sunshine and a great holiday. Hoping to maybe see you again in the Limousin. Best wishes, Elaine, and Chris too!

Response from the owner I wish to thank you for leaving a review for "Chez Marie". I am particularly pleased that the layout of the gîte and the fact that it is well equipped were to your liking. "Chez Marie" benefits from being in a quiet rural village whilst only being a short distance to the larger village of Blond and its commerce. You will be given a warm welcome when you return, best wishes.

Response from the owner Thanking you for such kind words. It is always a pleasure to see you both and welcome you to Chez Marie and indeed to Blond. It is wonderful to receive reviews like this, knowing that you've not only had three enjoyable trips but that you want to come and stay again! It makes all the hard work worthwhile and puts a wide lasting smile on my face :) We enjoy living in this area of the Haute Vienne and are always happy and willing to help and advise people with their sightseeing outings. So pleased that you have found so many nice places to visit; it is true what you say, there are lots of places to go and see or indeed just wander along the shady forest footpaths. We love seeing you and miss your smiles, humour and friendship once you leave. So until the next time our friends, à la prochaine mes amis......see you again, à bientôt!
