Nous avons passé un trés bon séjour et de trés bonnes fêtes dans votre magnifique maison et tous nos invités ont été surpris par la beauté du décor. La semaine est passée trés (trop) vite et c'est avec regret que nous sommes tous partis samedi. Nous esperons que nous aurons l'occasion de revenir dans votre maison à Gabian.

French family Christmas 2009 / New Year 2010

We have returned to the US after a wonderful week in Les Eaux Calmes. We all loved your home in Gabian. We feel so special to be the first Americans to have stayed there. We went to the boulangerie every morning for our bagette…. we had fantastic weather every day, which in turn made the week even nicer.  We visited some of the local wineries - Monplezy one of them!  Wonderful! The house was very cosy and was decorated so cute and had all essentials that were needed.  We would definitely recommend it to anyone….  and we love Pezenas with the restaurant/bar area where they have entertainment every night.  Their market on Saturday was pretty amazing. Thanks again for the use of your home.                                                                        September 2009  

“We had a really lovely time. It's a great location. Very central. The village itself was nice and the locals very friendly. Boulangerie was excellent and only wish we could buy bread like that here every morning. House was stunning; beautifully restored and the courtyard too…..,the weather was fantastic all week. The colour of the sky against the vineyards was something else.”                                                             November 2007

"We really like the house - it's got a really peaceful feeling about it. We've had a lovely time."                                                                                   August 2007

"Have spent two lovely weeks in this beautiful house, in this fantastic region. We had such a great time and will always remember it as it was the place we got engaged!!! Thankyou!" July 2007

"Lovely house - good quality beds! Nice artwork too. Lots of space to relax. Many thanks."                                                                          June 2007

"I had a great time staying here! It's a wonderful house and I was very sad to leave it." Girl aged 13       March 2007

“Enjoyed the food, wine & countryside & warm weather." March 2007

"What a great place!"     2006

"The house is just superb and in a dream location particularly for cyclists" 2006

"Wonderful region. Great house and village."         2006

“Many thanks for a lovely holiday in the Languedoc! What a great place! Very impressed with your set-up there, lovely house with everything we needed - we have done quite a lot of self-catering in various countries and we aren't used to having it all set up as at home. Usually you have to go out & buy some bits for the kitchen which haven't been supplied! Weather was great….. We got around most of the places you & others had suggested… Have had various expressions of interest already - so will pass on your leaflet. Thanks again.”    October 2005

“Les Eaux Calmes is a most amazing place, we felt at home a soon as we got through the door.  The decoration, layout and facilities are fantastic.  The village was very beautiful.  J, and I occasionally, enjoyed the daily ritual of visiting the Boulangerie to get the bread and other items.  We also fed the ducks on a regular basis. Both J and I fell in love with the house, its situation and the village.  We would very much like to go again next year if we are able to sort out suitable dates.  I have also passed on your details to family and friends.”       summer 2005

“We thought your little house (well, not so little, actually) was beautiful.  So well equipped - all the details so carefully thought about. I loved my bedroom, and the beautiful view over the hills…. the light on those lovely roof tiles....going down to buy bread in the morning, talking to the old people in the village, the dog 'serving' at the counter in the paper shop. We thought the countryside was stunning and loved our drives round the little towns and villages. A and I used the bikes, and that was probably one of the high points, cycling through fragrant fields in the sun…….. Nice to sit in your courtyard and read and eat.... We felt you had made a brilliant choice of house and we are so grateful to you for our holiday. Thank you. I will recommend Gabian to others: it's great.”                         late summer 2005

And a local property manager: "Our favourite house and the most tastefully done."

 And as also recently featured in the Sunday Times Travel supplement...........

"I also have a soft spot for the village of Gabian, 15 minutes from Pézenas, and not merely because its adage is: “Let’s drink and feast.” It’s a cracking medieval spot, where French Connections has a house with courtyard garden built into the village walls" 

leading travel journalist, Anthony Peregrine
