Villa Roquette Newsletter 20 September 2011

I have had a busy week – chatting to the British Prime Minister, developing websites in Manderin Chinese and finding the correct plumbing fittings in Bricoman (well, to tell the truth, actually they were not the correct plumbing fittings and I have to go back, yet again).

I keep reading in the press that the Chinese travel market is the biggest in the world, I know that one person in five on this planet is Chinese, but that ratio does not seem to apply here in Languedoc. So does this mean that we should be anticipating floods of tourists from China in the near future. My question is simply, ‘Why would someone from China come to our B&B in Villa Roquette ?’

I understand the attraction of Languedoc’s long beaches, wine, the sunshine, the food, mountains, wine, thousands of years of culture, wine and yet more sunshine (and wine). If you have any thoughts on this I really welcome your feedback.

We live in the village of Montblanc in the South of France, the ‘other’ Mont Blanc is the Alpine mountain. By a strange coincidence, my son (who is also called Tony but that is another story) owns a super ski chalet there. If you want great accommodation, skiing and snow, have a look at his site, he has self-catering accommodation for up to eight people Chalet de Montalbert
