Welcome to Karen Brown's World of Travel
We would like to share with you one of our recommended B&Bs in FRANCE
The CHEZ BURCKEL DE TELL in town of Calvisson
Corinne and Régis Burckel de Tell bought a characterful 15th-century stone house facing directly onto the main street in the center of Calvisson, a very old village surrounded by vineyards just west of Nîmes, and began the tremendous task of restoration.
Corinne (an art historian) and Régis (an artist) were passionately committed to preserving the architecture and culture of the area.
Ceilings were stripped back to expose original beams, floors covered with stone slabs or terracotta tiles, and fireplaces brought back to working order.
They then furnished the house with a charming rustic simplicity, country antiques and natural fabrics.
In the heart of the house is a romantic courtyard garden, which is a true delight, with flowers and greenery setting off the stone walls.
It is here under the stars that dinner is usually served.
When the weather is chilly, guests eat family-style at one large table in a wonderful room with stone walls and arched ceiling.
The bedrooms, reached by a stone-slab circular staircase, are individually furnished and display the same tasteful, understated beauty.
Régis's paintings highlight the walls throughout the house.
