our first guest of the season has arrived safely

he's enjoying the sun 🌞 and the pool.

 

annual checkup / meeting of the fire extinguishers

at mas d’Oléandre of course with respect for the distance!!

no virus detected.

Puccini is just enjoing the garden.

As long as we are not sure yet that we can receive our guests this summer (hopefully we will get more clarity on May 11th) we would like to let you enjoy our mas and it's garden.

Today is the 75th anniversary of the liberation day of the Netherlands. We got these mugs in honor of the 10 year liberation day a few years ago from Dutch guests.

 

We are glad that -despite the bizarre situation in which we all live at the moment- we are allowed to live in freedom.

yesterday we planted the lavender (which we were able to buy in St. Quentin la Poterie) - now let’s hope they grow and bloom quickly .....

Today it's 20 years since we became the proud owners of mas d’Oléandre.

20 years in which we have had many great moments and shared them with our guests from all over the world.

However, at this moment we are thinking of all the people affected by the virus and would also like to thank the people who put their health at risk to overcome this.

Hopefully we can see one and other again in the near future.

Take good care of yourselves and your loved ones and stay healthy.

love,

Leonard & Esther

 

 

The Gard the department where our maison d'hôtes is located.
Le Gard le département où se trouve notre maison d'hôtes.

thanks to the annual pruning of the grapes, our quatrelle is now well stocked with wine stumps for the wood stove.

From our mas you can make lovely walks, one of the walks is the circular walk to le-mas-de-l'Ancienne-Eglise in Belvezet.

The length of the hike is 13 kilometers and the duration is about 4 hours, but that depends of course on what kind of hiker you are and if you take a nice picnic with you on the way.
