We had a wonderful week staying in James and Kim’s beautiful home. Moncontour is a gorgeous medieval village perched on a hilltop surrounded by ramparts – “la Maison des Remparts” is right in the centre. This area of France is so peaceful and scenic, and easily accessible from the ferry. We parked for free on the street, though car parks are also available at both ends of the hill. The room was spacious and private, located at the top of the house with everything you could possibly need. Kim is an accomplished cook and we had some delicious evening meals – she catered to my vegan diet with no problem. My husband thought the croissants from the local bakery were the best he’d ever tasted and enjoyed sitting out on the terrace of the local bar, just a few steps away. We went on some lovely walks and ventured out further in the car to explore other villages, lakes and the coast. Kim and James are fantastic hosts, fluent in both English and French and have a lot of local knowledge. We definitely plan to return!
