May is a fabulous time of the year to come and visit France. Everything springs into life and one of the early flowers to appear all over the Loire Valley is the Iris. Of course everyone flocks to Giverny (North west of Paris) to see Monet's house and wander around the beautiful gardens of full of irises and poppies. This year I wanted to share with you some pictures of the irises that are on display at the moment at La Grande Maison.

Hi Sue and Micaela,
Bruce and I with Teese and Gary at dinner last night were whining about how we need a La Grande Maison visit desperately! We are hoping to make it happen in September. Would it be possible to do something like you described on the river? Can a boat be rented for that? Do you still have availability in late September?
The Irises are spectacular.
So hope we get to see you soon.
Very fondly,
Kate Brandt
Hi Kate, Bruce, Teese & Gary,
What a lovely surprise to hear from you all. Kate, I have sent an email to the email address that I had for you. I hope it is still current? If not email me resv@lagrandemaison.net and I will re-send it!
Can't wait to catch up with you all in September. Fingers crossed.
A bientot
Micaela and Sue
