Veï Lou Quéri

We had driven from Calais, and by the time we reached Moutier-Malcard we were tired and hungry, Corrie and Ron made us feel so welcome! They were the perfect hosts, the food was excellent, and the beds comfortable: their home is beautiful, and it was a delight to spend our short break in the beautiful Creuse with them.

It was now the third time we went to Vei Lou Quéri in Moutier Malcard, Creuse France. This time we toke the option of the gite, part of the estate. We loved it from the moment we walked in, spacious, friendly atmosphere and a very large private garden. On our special request, although we stayed in this self contained house, Ron en Corrie, the owners, provided us in the common 'salle a manger' with a breakfast and dinner in the evening. We can only say, go there and see it for yourself.

Although I was late arriving Corrie served up a 3 course delicious French supper. The tasteist homemade soup, with secret ingredients, homemade chicory tart with local organic veal and blue veined cheese and I still managed the bitter cherry tart with formage frais and half carafe of local red wine! A delicious introduction to French cooking. I ate alone but the atmosphere in the house was very relaxing after a long drive, the rooms full of art and photos from their travels and they made me feel very welcome. They had lit the fire in the library - a place for guests to unwind, with sofa and chairs. After a great nights sleep and good shower I was offered a superb continental breakfast - homemade muesli, croissants, range of breads, a truely fresh boiled egg, cheese, variety of tasty jams and jug full of coffee. Stop here on your way south, arrive early, (only one hour from Chateauroux A20, then onwards cross country to A71 and Clermont Ferrand) enjoy the location, stay longer, explore the region. They are warm and generous dutch hosts who speak good French and English. The only thing I would recommend is not to arrive too late to really enjoy Vei Lou Queri.
