This event is now fully booked however please email us at info@maisondelorb.com if you would like details of any future weekend events.

Looking Ahead

Our spies at Ryanair have now confirmed their summer flights to Beziers commence from 29 March 2010 and there will be three flights a week from London Luton (Bristol TBC) - same schedule as 2009 which is great news. Beziers looks like becoming the "hub" for Ryanair in this region. We are already taking bookings for next season and already Ryanair are offering impressive cheap air tickets.

Thank you again for the weekend taste event and for all your fantastic emails and letters - we are happy you had a good time. Another taste event coming soon!

Ryanair Confirmed for Beziers 2009/10

Confirmed a few months ago and now reconfirmed - Ryanair will continue to fly from London Luton to Beziers twice weekly for the winter season. This is great news especially in the current economic climate but also for people who commute weekly as well as travellers.

Thank you Ryanair! As a reminder also, we can arrange free pick to and from Beziers airport for those of you staying with us. Please let us know at time of booking.

The Safe House

More gathering news on this. I have been invited to the Imperial War Museum in London to glance through some files they have which lists Maison De L'Orb as a safe house and what information they have. Obviously this is all very exciting and valuable for my book which I have recently started. I will share with you what I find out!

A Taste Of Beziers

Taste is something that needs to be trained, developed and educated. Since 1992, Taste Week has been the opportunity to do just that. It has become a week of real education in terms of “good” taste, on the chosen themes. The town council, which organises the events through its cultural department, has already tickled the taste buds of its local youngsters with chocolates and grapes at previous events and this year has chosen cheese as the theme for the week.

The event kicked off last weekend in Beziers.

And to add to the event, this Saturday sees our own Maison De L'Orb Taste Event, with new wines of the season and home cooked treats. See you all then!

Wine Tasting

Saturday 17 October will see us hosting an intimate wine tasting (and nibbles...) event. We will be focusing on new wines of the season from many local suppliers as well as tasting what we hope will be a 2010 classic. Weather permitting in the garden, if not indoors with log fire if need be.
