Second Week a Disaster
The gite was very clean and well equipped, the garden was a large and secure area for our dog. We enjoyed sitting outside and appreciated the large verandah with its sunblind. The pool was clean but despite the 30c air temperatures was very cold due to the lack of a cover. HOWEVER the Monday morning of our second week the peace and quiet of the rural gite was shattered by the arrival of a JCB, concrete mixer and a large lorry into the owners' garden which was adjacent to our gite. The noise was unbearable so we decided to have a day touring the area. Unfortunately the next morning it all started all over again, we had no prior warning of this work taking place. It seemed obvious that what was happening was going to take some days. We contacted the owners of the gite that we had booked for the third and fourth weeks of our holiday to enquire if we could stay there earlier. The gite was free so we decided to leave. We cleaned the gite and left it as we had found it, contacted the owner to explain the situation and that we would be leaving around 2pm. The owner arrived at about 2.15pm fortunately we were still there, whether he deliberately came late to avoid meeting us-we do not know? He said they had a water leak in the house on the Sunday and decided to have the garden done. Can you really get all that equipment in a day's notice? His wife was meant to send us a note - we have got nothing. We had to pay for four extra days at the second gite - there was no alternative.
