Unusual. But Mina and Jean Francois Laodicina, pronounced 'Layowdicheena' made us very welcome. Jean Francois was at the station to collect us and bring us here, while Mina was preparing a chicken casserole for our dinner. And, accompanied by a modicum (!) of red wine, after nine hours on Eurostar, TGV and local train, it was very good. !

It is comfortable, filled with labour saving gadgets and fine tiled floors as befits a Mediterranean property.

and this which could be classified as "more than somewhat"!


But we didn't come to look at the pictures on the wall because if you turn round, this is what you see:
