Our home for the trip was Relais Valami, a B&B run by Alain and Marie.
There are thousands of B&Bs throughout Europe and all we have found are run by people who like people. This one was one of the best. We really enjoyed our stay in lovely, clean quarters and our hosts couldn't have been nicer

My husband and I spent several nights at RELAIS VALAMI. We had a small house all to ourselves-Vanda. It was our own small piece of France. The Geniau's large house was just a few steps away from our door. Every morning, we went there for a delicious breakfast (of course, there were croissants) and a lively conversation with Alain and Marie, who were always kind and considerate as well as informative. It was a quiet and restful place in the country; very close to the vineyards where the grapevines were just waking up from their winter's sleep. Alain worked in his garden. There was a cuckoo bird in the trees not far away. A small town is nearby where you can have dinner in a restaurant or go to the grocery and have a picnic on the patio in front of the 'maisonette'. During the day we visited some of the many chateaux in the area. Each castle is unique with an interesting history. And, each evening, we returned to 'our chateau'-just as charming (and more comfortable) than the others. We loved everything. Do not hestitate to spend some time here.
