Christmas/New Year 2009/2010

Great news for us, we are now FULL BOOKED for Christmas and New Year.

We will shortly be announcing a special discount rate for those travelling in Beziers for January and February as we will still be open.

The House

As you know, I mentioned before that Maison De L'Orb was used as a "safe" house during World War Two and I am currently sourcing some valuable information which I am hoping to incorporate into a book. What this book will look at I have no idea, but I am looking into life of other Beziers people during this time. There is already some initial interest which is excellent. For more of my own writings you can view my other blog Thoughts From An Oriel Window at http://markbinmore.blogspot.com

We have our very own book club here at Maison De L'orb where we meet once a month with a glass of something, a tray of nibbles and discuss. I have recently been sent a new preview edition of Moondrop To Gascony by Anne-Marie Walters, available in November and recommended. The club is full at this time but we will be inviting new members next spring.

As so into late September already....

End Of Season

A great way to end the season here at Maison De L'Orb, an intimate barbecue, great food, ambiance and music from friend and recording artiste Dean Saunders - thanks to everyone who attended. Currently sorting through a few pictures.

We have now decided to take the bull by the horns and redecorate our dining and guest area in readiness for the winter season. At the moment its all white walls and new electrics...we have a few weeks before we host several private parties booked in for October - check our website for availability if deciding to take a weekend break here. If you do, the weather is still lovely albeit slightly fresher in the evenings. The hordes of people have left and its a lovely area to take a stroll and have a quiet lunch and cafe. We do have parking spaces outside for those who may be driving over and can recommend some lovely places nearby to visit.

New Season

September and the new season is upon us, but as many locals say, this is the best month to see Beziers. The days are still beautiful, the beaches are nice and spacious and the evenings are slightly cooler. We are fully bocked for this month but can recommend other places if you are wanting to visit and more than welcome to pop by for cafe and drinks when you are here Thank you to everyone who came last Saturday and met Luc, we enjoyed your company and the feedback from the guests was great.

We are having an intimate barbecue this Saturday for guests, friends and neighbours with music supplied by Dean Saunders who will be singing tracks from his new album plus a few old standards.

We have already taken bookings for Christmas and New Year, please email us for further information.
