From the Kiwi point of view SW France was fascinating - beige and orange clustered villages, incredibly neat gardens, solid stone churches, some very beautiful stained glass windows and family tombs with metal crosses, beautiful climbing roses in Catus and markets with an incredible array of cheeses.

Des vacances toujours trop courtes chez Michele et Eddie!... Le Lot en automne est vraiment magnifique!

Le Lot est une très belle region et avons eu la charme de puvoir visiter les plus beaux sites, sous le soleil.
(Danièle, Paris, France)

​

When we were trying to decide where to go for this year's summer holiday, only Chez Ming offered everything we wanted so we came back for the second year running...This year we've found Belaye particularly attractive, with its seasonal buvette from which to enjoy the view in comfort. Great art exhibitions too - but anywhere around here is beautiful.
(Anna & Paul - Bromley, UK)

​

So, anyone that wants to come and relax, enjoy, and unwind Chez Ming is the place!
(Fiona, Ellie & Rob - Shropshire, UK)

We have woken up in many parts of France during more than 60 years....but nowhere has given us more pleasure than visiting Chez Ming....the comfortable gite and the delightful garden alongside Le Vert....we have happily absorbed the atmosphere of a real French village...
(Meg & David, Dorset, UK)

​

We have been so glad to be back here again and the return visit has been everything we'd hoped for - but too short. It has been very restful sitting under the wisteria enjpying the scent and hearing the birds and the sound of the stream. The countryside is so beautiful at this time of year....
