vegetarian dinning at chateau Perroterie

some of our yoga clients

Yet another lovely group of bubbly Yogis have been here at Château Perroterie. They decided to go vegetarian as a group which is an interesting ask for the meat eaters, but a good way to experience vegetarian over a week. We try our best to accommodate dietary requirements where possible, the big no no for us is nuts, as we cannot guarantee traces of nuts or nut oil is in "innocent" foods bought from outside ie pastry biscuits etc. to date we have had no problems and I enjoy experimenting with vegetarian dishes. As France is not a country known for its vegetarian cuisine I tend to get inspiration from Spain and North Africa, they are clever with their seasoning's and help elevate the humble vegetable or grain to a higher level.

THE NAME IS BOND! SINDY BOND!

Put your back into it

The residents of Château Perroterie have been more than a little sweaty this week! Partly due to the lovely sunshine but mainly due to the planning & researching of a Boot camp week which is taking place here this autumn. Course leader Sindy Bond has been getting ideas together for the activities she has in mind. She is well named "Bond" as her boot camp has a some what dare devil espionage theme running through it.

No problem

My John ever quick to take any opportunity for help which requires brute strength suggested they build him a large log wall, & no sooner said than done, Sindy was on hand to whip some of the guys & a petite but willing Anna into constructing a fine log barrier. In the evening a relaxing game of "drink pong" where bottles of beer were strategically positioned on the table tennis table, any ball going out was deemed to be a drinkable offence & a sip was taken, on the loss of a game the entire bottle was consumed, sunset celebrations can be viewed below. 

A visit to Château Perroterie can be both hard work, fun & sometimes relaxing. I cannot wait for Sindy's boot camp retreat this autumn it is guaranteed to be  challenging & great fun. 

Anna in safe hands

Good morning Miss Bond. Your mission, Sindy should you choose to accept it is to run a boot camp here at La Perroterie. As always should any member of your team be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow

all knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck Sindy
