Feedback   Whether you arrive late at Bournan after a long drive from the Channel, or you just feel like being pampered  on the first night of your holiday; we can arrange to have a meal waiting for you at the gîte.  This option has proved popular with many of our guests.  In fact there is nothing to stop you opting for dinner on other nights during your stay, as for instance do many of our guests that come for an activity holiday e.g. golfing.

Since living in France the owners have developed their passion for French food and wine.  Cynthea taught cookery whist living in England, and now attends cookery workshops at a local restaurant and a chateau hotel.  She tries to use local ingredients, including fresh herbs and fruit from the garden, to their best advantage so that guests can sample some of the culinary delights of the ‘garden of France’.

         

A three course meal including an aperitif, wine and coffee, can be served to you in the gîte at a cost of 24 Euros per person.  Vegetarian diets can be catered for.
