It’s spotless now, with all mod cons, gleaming antiques, open fires and vases of fresh flowers. The house was a ruin when the Bignons found it but they managed to save all the old timbers and stones. The result is a seductively warm cheerful house with bedrooms cosy and soft, two upstairs, one with an entrance off a garden where swings invite children to play. Passionate about food, they used to run a restaurant where Michel was chef; note the coppers in the kitchen/entrance hall, and memorabilia in the family sitting room. Géraldine, bright, friendly and organised… and serving beautiful homegrown or local food and the wines of Anjou.
Wonderful! Geraldine and Michel are superb hosts and chefs. The room was lovely, they even put our wine in their fridge, when they found it! Faultless
