'We have had the most wonderful week - weather too, in this lovely tranquil setting. Our hosts Judith and Chris made us feel so welcome. We have enjoyed exploring all the areas around, sampling the restaurants and of course the wine. We are coming back next year for another helping of the good life' - Sarah and Ivan Cox, Northamptonshire 'What a wonderful introduction to our first visit to Burgundy. After a long journey from Ottawa, we were warmly received by Chris and Judith with a glass of red wine. Like others before us we have found En La Marre to be an ideal location to discover and explore the wine villages of the region. We plan to return!' -Annette Bourgeois and George Plant, Ottawa, Canada 'We had a wonderful stay at En La Marre with Christopher and Judith as our wonderful hosts. We enjoyed the markets, fresh cheeses, saucisson and pate and enjoyed cooking Burgundian food in our gite' - Lori and Andy Mazor, NYC, USA.

Ein sehr schöner Urlaub in einer wunderbaren Gegend, die uns mit ihren kulinarischen Leckereien verwöhnt hat. Mit Judith und Chris haben wir tolle Gastgeber erlebt, die uns über etliche Widrigkeiten bei der Organisation unserer Reise hinweg geholfen haben. Die Anlage ist sehr schön gelegen. Wir hatten das Appartment "Pinot Noir" bewohnt, das stilecht und rundum gut ausgestattet ist - wir haben uns richtig wohl und heimisch gefühlt. Vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber. Es wird bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal gewesen sein.

This was our 5th visit to En La Marre and as always we had a great welcome from Chris & Judith. This is such a lovely place and we particularly love Pinot Noir with the great view from the terrace. The Black Redstarts were in abundance and the Nuthatch went hammer and tongs on the fence posts. John saw a Hoopoe on the first day but no more since then. We have seen lots of Goldfinches and Greenfinches and had a Hawfinch in the field and a few Red-backed Shrikes. We have met some lovely people this year. I enjoyed singing with Lynne and trying to speak Italian, German and French with the non-English-speaking guests.

Our first visit to this part of France. We could'nt have found a better spot. The country side is beautiful and our surroundings so tranquil. We would have liked to have longer to explore it further.Chris and JUdith have been very hospitable and helpfuland we hope that we will be back again sometime in the not too distant future.
