Where did the last few months go?

A busy summer with new and returning guests, full of fun encounters, warm days and balmy evenings, and here we are, Autumn appears to have arrived. Too early yet to marvel at the golden hues of the trees on the hills, and we live in hope to have the sun return so we can hang on to the golden days a little longer.

Having returned from a much-needed fortnight in another beautiful part of France, we are back, refreshed, and looking forward to sharing new ideas, new activities and some fun things to come in the months and year ahead.

But first, we have to finish the renovation of our own house. For the first time in twenty years, we have returned to concentrating on that which makes us happy, which meant we quit our estate agency, passed our existing properties to a well trusted buddy and closed the books on selling houses. We hope to be finished by the end of the year which means that the yoga studio will finally be ready for action. Giving ourselves a little bit of a margin, we are hoping to start the Spring season with offerings of private yoga classes, breathwork classes, chair yoga and stretching to complement your stay in La Grange.

In addition, once the room is free, your stay can also be enriched with massage and aromatherapy. Treatments custom made to your needs, with the use of essential oils to provide relaxation and balance. Han is registered with the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA) as well as Yoga Alliance so you can be sure of safe practice on both fronts.

Having obtained the necessary licences which allow us to provide guests with food and drink, guests this summer have already enjoyed home cooked meals served to them in La Grange or outside on the terrace. It has been a joy for both of us and it will be an option for anyone who doesn’t fancy cooking or doesn’t want to go out to dinner. And very soon we will be making some noise about private dining. A birthday, a catch up with special friends, a family gathering? La Grange will be at your disposal for the evening and in advance of the occasion, you can talk to us about what you would like to eat, the theme and ambiance you would like to share to see if we can help you create those special memories that will live on for years to come.

If your summer holiday seems like a distant memory and you are thinking about your next escape, please remember we are here all year round. You may wish to come and discover for yourself how beautiful Autumn is, or what Marcillac looks like in the snow.

For now, our thanks and gratitude go to all our guests who have made Summer 2024 a great success. Hearing your stories, seeing you relax and able to recharge your batteries is a joy to observe.
