A friend and I are planning a trip to France in September, scootering around the Central Vineyards of the Loire Valley and Northern Burgundy, probably taking the train to Beaune or Dijon and making that our starting point…
Does anyone know where we can hire classic Vespas/Lambrettas in that region? Despite Paris being buzzing with them and the internet implying it's dead easy to hire scooters in virtually any French town, we only seem to be able to find one place in Beaune that rents out modern Yamahas…
Also what the law is in France regarding scooter riding?

I will be visiting Bibione this year and want a review of that place from you people. Please suggest me any names for a suitable and decent hotel in Bibione. The rooms should be neat because cleanliness is important and should be spacious .One more thing is that the reception staff should be very pleasant and helpful because grouchy faces may spoil my mood of enjoyment. Your suggestions are welcome.

French provincial kitchens only exist outside France. The average French kitchen is a modest, uncluttered, practical affair. It is not designed to be an exotic showroom of carpentry and exquisite furniture. We do not crowd the walls with cook books, artworks, eccentric displays of dried herbs and other paraphernalia. We don’t suspend pots and pans and other jangling ironmongery from the ceiling. We like to keep our gadgets and our utensils out of sight, just as we hate to smell what we’re cooking throughout the house. Cooking smells, like cooking equipment, are confined to the cuisine and the salle de manger. Just as good food must appear effortless and fresh so must the kitchen appear spotless and ready to burst into action at a moment’s notice.
   I lived in Les Ormes, France in the mid 50's on Rue Du Pont. A family I knew on the some street by the name of Monsier, Madame Raymond, and daughter Michell and Nicole. Nicole ( Nicky ) married a Claude Roy and had one son Phippe in te 1960"s. If anyone has any information about the Raymonds or the Roys please contact them or me so that I may make contact with them.

I would like to help anyone travelling to France and wanting to rent a gite directly with the property owner. I would highly recommend www.simplygites.com as we have just returned from a great holiday all booked through simply gites.
Just returned from a great holiday in the south of France Aquitaine, Lot-et-Garonne, I wanted to rent a gite direct with the property owner and not use a travel agent. I came across serveral websites that advertised gite rental. However, the one we used was www.SimplyGites.com it was an easy to use site, and put us in contact with the owner. It was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone.
