We are in Saint Ferme staying at a wonderful Pilgrim Gite with our host and Hospitallero Dominique. This is the true pilgrim experience that we always hope for along the route. Dominique welcomed us with a cool drink and showed us around before starting preparations for our dinner. Dinner was a lovely multi course meal with wine and great conversation. After dinner Jean Claude came by to give us a personal tour of the Twelfth century Abbey. He comes by the Gite each night in case there are Pilgrims here to take them on a tour before he locks up the church for the night.
I am so glad we stopped here; what a lovely surprise for our first night in the Bordeaux region. The vines are everywhere now and the wine...lovely.
