Farewell 2011

Such a blessed year, so much to be thankful for, so much to learn from and make me stronger. If at the end of the year I can say that I’ve laughed, cried, loved and became a bit wiser than I consider it was a successful one.

Happy Goodbyes to 2011

The Château de Goult

Have you ever wanted to be ‘Lord of the Manor’ for a week in a luxury French chateau? Well, how about The Château de Goult, a magnificent 800 year old medieval castle at the hill-top of the village de Goult in Provençe

You will cross the ages: from the 12th century tower through the Guards Room of the 14th century to the Grand Staircase of the 17th century. The Chateau offers over 1000m2 steeped in history. Its 2 lounges and dining rooms, its 2 kitchens, 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms can accommodate twenty people or more.

Beni Ouarain rugs

These shaggy pile rugs featuring soft black abstract archaic-looking patterns against ivory backgrounds are hand woven by the Beni Ouarain, a Berber tribe in the Middle Atlas Mountains in Morocco.

One part of each family cultivate fields in the valleys, while the others migrates with their flocks and tents to the mountains in summer, descending in winter to the hill country.

In these mountain regions one can still find the ancient breed of small sheep whose excellent wool is responsible for the quality of Beni Ouarain rugs.
