Chambre d'hôtes in Bouaye

11 Rue de la Gare, Bouaye


 On Tuesday night we stayed in a small chambre d'hôtes in the centre of Bouaye run by Maryvonne Sidney at 11 rue de la Gare – Le Logis (tel: 02.40.65.48.28). She has two clean, simple and very reasonably priced rooms  at just 46€ for two people including breakfast – a very good breakfast as she insisted on making us scrambled eggs. Maryvonne was a delightful and thoughtful hostess.

The previous evening we ate at La Grignotière on the eastern outskirts of Bouaye. The restaurant specialises in grills. We drank a rich and concentrated bottle of 2006 Saumur Champigny, Château de Chaintres. This was Krishna Lester's last vintage and it is currently drinking well.
