A fantastic fortnight at La Grange in Sainte Foy! La Grange is the largest of Peter''s three properties situated in the quiet hamlet of Sainte Foy, and whilst it is secluded, it is only a fairly short five to ten minute drive to the village of Prayssas (with small local supermarket) and a twenty minute drive to the town of Port-Sainte-Marie (larger Intermarche supermarket) with other larger towns a little further afield, so all in all, ideally located! The property''s five bedrooms are roomy with comfortable beds (two double and three twins) with an electric fan in each and were ideal for the ten of us who were staying. There was also a sofa bed on the upstairs landing but we didn''t use it. The living room and kitchen area are massive with a TV with UK free to air satellite channels (handy for the World Cup at the time!), and the kitchen utensils etc. were generally sufficient, although just a couple more larger saucepans and some matching lids would have been handy, and a few more serving spoons (we bought a couple of cheap ones and left them there). The kitchen had one under counter freezer and two fridges, and a very large table but we ate outside every day! There are plenty of bathrooms/toilets with two proper shower cubicles and another over a bath, and we always had plenty of hot water with a very reasonable water pressure. The whole property was clean and tastefully decorated. Outside, there was a lovely large covered table area with plenty of seating plus a circular metal barbecue (charcoal - not gas) that we used on a couple of occasions. The grounds are extensive with beautiful views, and we were lucky enough to have the other two properties not occupied so we had the whole area and use of the facilities to ourselves. The pool is kept clean and massive, and we made use of the larges boules court and table tennis table, and there is also a footballing and badminton area and large field to enjoy. There is also a wooded area near the house and we occasionally saw a deer wandering through it and there was also pleanty of birds around to watch and listen to. Peter''s son Dan (and partner) live on site in a small house and clean the pool and mow the grass etc. and to be there is we needed anything or any local advice, but otherwise we didn''t see much of them. We loved our stay here and would thoroughly recommend the property and the surrounding area for a holiday in this region of France, in which there is plenty to occupy yourself with.
