Arrival Supper
Depending on your arrival time you may wish to have our Arrival Supper.
We offer this to guests who either do not wish to eat out or cook after a long day travelling.
We ask if you would like our arrival supper that you pre-order min. 48 hours in advance to enable us to shop and prepare and both order the same dishes.
On arrival you can choose at what time you would like it served, either in your gîte or on the terrace.
Please be aware as we are in rural France - Restaurants are closed Sunday and Monday evenings and only one
local supermarket - Intermarche (15min. drive) is open Sunday morning.
