Gaston
Many thanks are owed to the wonderful folks who made our stay in France so memorable. Today, Pieter and I would like to send our gratitude to Aude Jeanson and her lovely family for taking such good care of us at their most impressive Clos de Mondetour.
This bed and breakfast with very spacious rooms sits in the tiny village of Fontaine sous Joy, about an hour north of Paris, and was recommended to us by Sharon over at My French Country Home. The XVI home has been lovingly renovated by Aude and her husband, Gregoire, over the past twenty years and can accommodate 8 persons throughout the three rooms available.

We stayed in the other, attached building where we had our cozy entrance with lavender to appreciate when entering.
Each day we were greeted by Gaston, their Lab puppy-in-training. Oops- Gaston! Quick! Get down before anyone sees you!

and the view to the left. Can you say picturesque?
Even the French spider webs are elegant!
If you are considering a trip to Paris or France, I hope you consider staying at Clos de Mondetour. Aude will take great care of you! There is nothing quite like waking up to only the sounds of the countryside while on a holiday. We were so glad we did not stay in Paris. Instead, we had the best of both, as it is only an hour's drive into the big city.
To view further information, visit their website here. The history of the buildings is fascinating and Aude has the before and after pictures for you to peruse.
Thank you, Aude and Gregoire!
