Saint-Emilion Village in France

Posted on August 26, 2012 | Leave a comment

Another idea

for an early fall week-end (I know we just are at the end of August!), a postcard destination really close: the charming village of Saint-Emilion (in France).

I discovered Bordeaux and its region several months ago and now I’m a huge fan. Beyond the vineyards and the famous wine’s appellation, you defenitely have to visit the medieval village of Saint-Emilion!

A really exciting place with its imposing monolithic church, the largest in Europe (pictures 2, 3 & 4) with more than 70 hectares of underground tunnels dug into the limestone. Not to be missed, this is absolutely awesome!

East Sussex, UK: Home Store, a store in the old and the restaurant Kitchen Home Store, in Hastings

If you are found of the “it was better before” trend, you will enjoy Home Store. Opened since January 2012 in Hastings, on several floors, this store will delight the regressive urbans, with old design furniture, lamps, dishes and many other usual and unusual objects (not vintage thanks! Pictures 1 & 2). A world dedicated to fans of Merci (in Paris), or A Vida Portuguesa (in Lisbon). The opening day of Store Home Kitchen, the restaurant of the store, I quickly met the chef Alastair Hendy which is also the owner of the store. He has been photographer for 20 years and a food photographer and stylist for twelve years (pictures 3 & 4).

Home Store & Home Store Kitchen : 36 High Street, Hastings TN34 3ER. Daily open.

Hastings, UK: The Swan House

An Alternative To The Excellent Hastings House

In the heart of historic Hastings, the Swan House is a boho chic Bed & Breakfast in a house from 1490 (last picture).

A contemporary decor that mixes wood and shells: you feel like in a cocoon. The low ceilings, fireplace in the living room, maze of stairs and small terrace (picture 1) make me think of a doll house.

A place to stay for a charming and comfort weekend during winter time. Pictures below: the Artisan room.
