Le Petit Moulin


This is where we'll be staying for 18 days in France (Oct 1-18). Click here for interior pictures, if you're an interior picture kind of guy. This gem is a 16th century stone mill cottage - 5km outside of Sarlat, a medieval village from the 14 century that still has a weekly market. Sarlat is approximately 1 hr from Bordeaux, that's correct, the wine place. Word is bottles of quality wine can fetch for as little as $7-$10 if bought directly from the Vineyard. What's up Vineyard. It's us again.
As fancy as it looks its actually cheaper then virutally all hotels and even hostels in France (who charge by the bed). Cottages are great this way, especially for a family of 5. We're also staying in a cottage in England the week before. More on that in a later post. The real bonus of the cottage is its kitchen. We'll be able to buy most of our food from the market and prepare our own meals, saving us hundreds of Euros.
