Rose Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 ( here's details of how to find the restaurant - copied from the other post )OK - we're all booked for Friday 25th March at 12:00... I can add more people later so if you still want to come it's not a problem... there is plenty of space so the more the merrier.Directions - Obviously this will very much depend on where you are coming from so rather than try and give directions I have found the restaurant on Google Maps... I've switched to satalite view and can recognise the location so it is acurate.Here is the link to google Auberge de la Brande - Les 4 routesThere is at the same location a small pepiniere - if you live not too far away you may recognise this place as they have a very nice plant sale every May - here is there website Jardins De La Brande And to save you searcing back this is the restaurant Auberge de la Brande You'll see from the google maps link that the restaurant is on the D21, it has a small car park but across the road (visible on the google link) there is a large layby/parking area which folks use too.If anyone needs any more information feel free to send me an email or pm... really looking forward to meeting folks next weekRose EDIT - when I click the google maps link it's quite zoomed out... zoom in and it's item A (on my screen anyway) that you're looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Just wanted to say that tomorrows the day we're meeting - still not too late for anyone close enough to Bergerac to come...

cooperlola Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 We had a great time, thanks.[:)]As they were leaving Paul and Yve T left me a piece of paper outlining an idea for an extended forum get together some time in the future, involving a couple of nights' stay in a hotel/c d'h somwhere. How does that idea strike everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemonimo Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Very good idea, Coops. I'd drive miles for good company and a good meal and the last one really was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 You could all come here, of course, as it's your turn.[:)] Nice little modern hotel down the road and my friends also have a large gite for those who like Sweets's idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
