Once, we saw La Pensée …

We are Saint-Lunaire lovers, but for a long time we passed along the house, without having a look at it.

But at the end of 1991 summer we saw it, used as movie décor. We realized that it had a charming garden in spite of its decaying buildings.

Then, since 1992, La Pensée recovered…

First year, we  opened  “La Pensée Gourmande”, a summer restaurant  and tea-room; luckily, we enlarged it to an  open air verenda and a sunny terrace. Our shop window  was provided with take-away home made cakes and biscuits, and Marie’s  jams and jellies.

Then, we renovated  la Grande Pensée ( a former belle epoque small hotel), in bed and breakfast, and holidays studios, later la Petite Pensée (old village houses) in holidays rentals and  ” maison d’ hôtes”….
