Farm cottage in Mayenne

Rent a farm cottage somewhere in Normandy, Brittany or the Loire, then spend the next week exploring towns and villages harking back to William the Conqueror. That was the plan, but it was never quite clear from the concertina-style Michelin map exactly which part of France we were supposed to be in (Le Bocage Mayennais came fairly close). After the second calvados it didn't seem to matter very much.

We have spent our last 3 years holiday in Brece at a place called Les Gages, check out their own website, which i guess was near you. It is a wonderful part of France with lots of hidden treasurers. One hidden treasure was the restaurant in Brece - Le Briccius across the road from the church. With a Michelin star trained chef the food was superb. Happy memories.
