3Collines: A place to stay in the Valley of Le Loir?

Some of the vineyards of Jasnières: unfortunately a dull day in August 2008


Recently I received a message from photographer: Marc Broussard (www.marc-broussard.org). He and his partner have opened a small guest house in the lovely valley of Le Loir between La Chartre-sur-Loir and Montoire-sur-le-Loir. They welcomed their first visitors in September. Marc runs photography courses.


'Bonjour Jim,
comme vous devez le savoir Loire Vallée Magazine est arrêté… faute de pétro-dollars!

Mais nous avons réalisé une guest house avec une chambre d'hôte originale et bientôt une deuxième, table d'hôtes dans un univers très nature… vous pouvez allez voir sur notre site.


Nous surplombons les vignes de Jasnières et des Coteaux du Vendomois….'




(I'm very happy to pass on Marc's message, although I have as yet had a chance to visit him and see the guest house. I would be delighted to have any feedback from any readers who stay at 3Collines.)
