Ihopp-Le Clos du Bois
 
Ihopp, There is an availability for us in this B&B. There is also a small house near or in the village. We are leaning toward the Le Clos du Bois, hoping English is spoken there. It would help to have a little guidance as we speak no French, as of now anyway. Does anyone there speak any English? Thanks, Sharon

Hi Shanart. Yes, at Le Clos du Buis, Sophie is the person who made our reservation for us via email, and she was there during our stay. She speaks English very well. The owner Pierre, if I recall, spoke some English as well-both of them were very sweet. If you stay there, please ask if Pierre is making dinner any of the evenings (he is a professional chef.) There were several other guests there one night and he cooked a lovely 5-course dinner for everyone-it was delicious!

I believe he does give cooking lessons.
This is one of our favorite villages.

Ihopp- Thank you so much for the trip report. You filled in a few spaces for me. We are renting a Gite in Bonnieux and will certainly paste your trip for the restaurants. Thanks again, Sharon
