As an American who doesn't speak French, I was a little nervous when I brought my family to stay at Domaine du Couchet. My fears were quickly allayed when we met our charming hostess Justine Wallington. Not only was she welcoming and gracious, she was quite knowlegeable about the history and features of the area. This enabled us to expose our children to history and culture of France that they would never have gotten from a textbook. How often do your children get to walk in an old castle and imagine the life there? In addition, she pointed us to wonderful places both to eat and buy food. The market of Mirapoix was out of a fairy tale. The dinners at Les Remparts and Hotel Commerce in Mirepoix were better than 5 star restaurants back home. Even the supermarket fare beat our fine gourmet shops here in the states at 1/10th the price. It was so relaxing at the Domaine, surrounded only by nature, yet having the amenities such as the gorgeous pool all to ourselves. I never dreamed we were going to such a retreat. We cannot wait until we have a chance to visit again--in some ways I don't even wish to write this review as I would like to keep the place all to myself. Seriously though, this is a spot not to be missed.
