CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM ‘LE CLOS DES GUYONS’ IN LE PUY NOTRE DAME.
Aperitifs on Christmas Eve here at Le Clos des Guyons in the Loire Valley, France.
From our guests and neighbours at Le Clos des Guyons, Le Puy Notre Dame, in the heart of the Val de Loire, we are raising our glasses to wish all our lovely clients both old and new, friends and family far away, a “Joyeux Noel” and “Very Merry Christmas”!
The 300 year old traditional Loire fireplace made from the local “tuffeau” limestone. Totally inefficient of course but what a centre-piece!
Here we are in the photograph (Sheila is missing because she is taking it) with our neighbours and current guests from Kent and New Hampshire, USA, in our Salon in front of a roaring fire at the start of our Christmas Eve Reveillon, sharing conversation and aperitifs over a Magnum of the Domaine de la Paleine’s Saumur sparkling wine. It was such a perfect Christmassy evening before the feasting of our delicious six course meal paired with other amazing Loire wines.
We sincerely hope you too enjoy a lovely Christmastime and holiday wherever you are!
There are lots of things to do over the next week, Christmas markets everywhere to enjoy with all the local artisan production of gift ideas, foods and wines and Chateaux and castles to visit ALSO last but not least our Wine Tour around the Le Puy vineyards and Wine Tasting in the village.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!
Sheila and Brian
Gites in the Loire Valley 
And to you both.
Love, Geoff and Claire
