Second time for us at Pont Vieux in winter. As before, Nick and Mary kept us warm and dry and well cared for. They also had other guests who were truly delightful and made the social breakfasts most interesting with everyone enjoying sharing the wholesome food that is provided.

Our family of five recently occupied three rooms at the Pont Vieux. We arrived exhausted from a long... More

Awakes to the gentle peal of the church bell to be lured by the smell of wonderful morning... More
