2008 - Becky & Dave Burr (USA)

Dear Eric and Michelle,

My husband Dave and I returned three days ago from our first-ever trip to London and Normandy and I still cannot stop thinking about our amazing tour of the D-Day beaches with Eric.  We loved London and we cant wait to get back there and explore more of the sights.  Still, the day we spent with Eric was without question the highlight of the trip.

Two things remain uppermost in my mind about our day together:  First, that Eric has such an impressive knowledge of the events surrounding D-Day that I learned much more than I could have ever hoped to learn by touring the area independently; and second, that his passion for the importance of those events and his appreciation of the people who sacrificed so much there lent a very human and emotional aspect, which made the day utterly unforgettable.  We will not forget the many stories you shared, Eric, about so many individual acts of heroism that collectively changed the course of history that day.  Thank you so much for all your insights, Eric!  It was just an incredible day for us!

Hello Eric,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know that your tour of the DDay sites was by far the highlight of our trip.  John loved the tour and we have already passed your contact information on to others.

 
Hopefully we will be in France again and can do another wonderful tour with you.
 
Thank you again

Hi, just gone back to work and want you to know that I showed the guys pictures of the the hols and the boys. Everyone thought they were cute as buttons. We will be back in the summer for a few days if you will have us, as the help and welcome you gave us were great.  I have never been so relaxed. Once again thanks for everything, love to the boys.

Hi there, hope you have both had a successful and restful day especially Eric after all his hard work yesterday with the Vindi Boys.
I know they all had a wonderful day and I too thoroughly enjoyed the whole event so on their behalf please accept our thanks once again and I was very pleased to be able to meet you both and to enjoy a very comfortable couple of nights in your lovely home. Best wishes for the summer season and I hope Peter manages to get a plan for 2009 soon!

2008 - Jim Swifen & Toni Scholey

Dear Michelle and Eric,

We would just like to thank you again for your hospitality. We had a great holiday, made all the better with your local knowledge, and the very comfortable surroundings and excellent breakfasts.

Sorry we had to rush away a bit - Jim was too much in the holiday mode to drag himself out of bed very early that morning. Fortunately Eric's directions back to Caen were spot on and saved the day, and we enjoyed the ride when we realized we might just make it!

Hope you have a great season business - wise and hope you'll have us back one day.

If you're ever in our area please look us up,

Take care

Toni and Jim

Excellent security for motorbikes, knowledgable owners, definitely the best chambre d'hote we've stayed in, in France since we started visiting 8 years ago.

We will be back

Thanks

2008 - Ken Shaw, UK

Absolutely brilliant place to stay, large room, immaculately clean with walk in wardrobe, tea/coffee maker, large bathroom. Friendly, nothing too much to trouble. Food above average. Travelled by motorbike and found everything available, garage, bike wash, drying room, all first class. Brilliant roads locally, sound advice from owner (fellow biker) on routes to takes, even get guided tour if you wish.
Great place to stay, everywhere within easy reach.
Excellent value for money.
Does not get better than this

2008 - Kerry Hanson & Jean - Pierre Gadsdon (UK)

Hi Michelle and Eric
 
Thank you both very much for such a lovely welcoming stay with you over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Your hospitality was fantastic, and we have been raving about how great it was to everyone!
 
Your home is so stylish and personable, and you were so generous to allow us to spend time with you in your beautiful garden on the Sunday afternoon, we could not ask for more.  Thanks.
 
With kind regards
Kerry

2008 - Linda Bond (USA)

Hi Michelle.  Tried to e-mail you yesterday, but the ships internet was extremely slow.  Tell Eric we had a WONDERFUL time and not to worry about the restaurant.  I know he was very upset with them, but Le Progreso (I think that was the name) was fabulous!!  Best fresh oysters on the half I have ever tasted!! and the mussels were wonderful too.  Loved all the architecture and the fresh baked goodies and coffee/tea in the morning as well.  We throughly enjoyed ourselves and will be sure to recommend you. 
 
Thank you and Eric for making our visit to France/Normandy memorable

2008 - Pam & Bill Bourne (UK)

Dear Michelle & Eric

What we really must say is how much we enjoyed our too brief stay with you all in your beautiful house. We enjoyed every moment from the warm welcome & the great breakfasts, to the frequent conversations & helpful tips on all the best places. Just a thought - if you could open another branch of your wonderful establishment halfway between Calais & Domfront, we shouldn't have so far to drive in one go. 

Best wishes, Pam & Bill

2008 - Phil & Pam Maeer (UK)

Dear Michelle & Eric
 
Just a quick e-mail to say thanks for your great hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay with you and visit to the area. I will make a point of recommending you to our biking friends and the Moto Guzzi Club.
 
Hope you had a lovely birthday celebration in Paris.
 
All the best

Michelle and Eric, thank you for our day in Normandy. Will recommend you highly to our friends.I hope the sun is shinning.  Seidens and Blooms

Alastair Archbold & Zoe Templeton (2007)

I can thoroughly recommend a stay here, the hospitality is fantastic and the rooms with en suite bathrooms are an extremely high standard, the same can be said for the breakfast provided. There are many things to see/do and places to eat in Domfront itself, so this is an excellent base for exploring Normandy from. I have now visited this Chambre DHote several times and will definitely be going back

Ally & Jimmy (2006)

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks very much for the help and advice you have given us. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it all works out as we loved the house and the area.

Thanks once again and we hope to see you both soon

With regards Ally and Jimmy

Elizabeth Gualtieri (2007)

Hi All, Just a short note to let you know how pleased we were with Eric and his narration of our Normandy Beaches excursion.

He was most knowledgeable about the subject of the allied invasion, answered all of our questions and provided many little details which made this experience so memorable.

For me, (and I am a college professor of nursing) Eric's tour was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Europe.

He made history come to life for us. Thank you,

I think the fact that we keep coming back tells you just how much we enjoy staying with you!  See you next year

Glen Siler, USA (2007)

Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Jerry & Nancy Trent, USA (2007)

Nancy and I very much enjoyed our stay in your lovely home.

A special thanks to Eric for the D Day tour. It was outstanding and we have already recommended you to our friends.

Jonathan Minkus (2006)

We have just returned for a wonderful three weeks in Europe and literally the first e-mail I am writing upon my return (and quite jet-lagged I might add) is to let you know how much we enjoyed our day-long tour.

Eric was our guide and we enjoyed him thoroughly. He was not just very informative but a delight to be with. He repeatedly went out of his way to make sure that we were completely satisfied and we could not possibly have enjoyed our tour more.

You should be justly proud of the outstanding employees you have.

Thank you for everything,

Jonathan Minkus.

June & Mike Jobbins, UK (2006)
