We spent a week in (probably) the smallest Gite de France!
It was at Ludon - on the Medoc but not far North of Bordeaux. So small in fact that having been sent no name or address we couldn't find it in the village and two residents didn't know it existed!
Quite comfortable, but the charming bare stone walls inside crumbled and we had great trouble keeping it warm! Three days were quite pleasant but others were foul - including the Sunday, when in torrential rain we went to Pauillac! Ruth remembers walking there in Summer 81 for Sunday lunch with ex when the car was being repaired in St Laurent. The Gironde is so wide there that the town has the air of the seaside, and the prom is full of interesting restaurants! On this Sunday the interesting ones were closed and the open ones weren't interesting! Back to base past glorious chateaux and extensive vineyards - all drenched - for a take-away pizza and to start on watching Denis Potter's brilliant "Pennies From Heaven" (1978!).
Evertime it rains, it rains......
