Although the accommodations at La Pacqueraie were certainly fine and the house and setting beautiful, the most memorable part of our 4-night stay (2-5 May 2006) was our daily "debriefings" and wide-ranging conversations each afternoon with our hostess, Mme. Monique Binet, over glasses of wine. When other guests were present, these occasions were even more interesting. We ate two delicious dinners prepared at La Pacqueraie and two more at a new restaurant with a young chef in nearby St. Branchs. Mme. Binet even washed a load of clothes for us one day, and made special arrangements for a very early breakfast to catch a train the last morning.
