Due to the demand for better quality holidays at a cheaper price, for those of our guests that like to come as a group, we would like to bring into attention another offer for 2009 at Etang des Royales - a package price for the whole big lake, including breakfast and evening meals for up to 8 people maximum for £3000 per week. You have the lake for yourself and share the experience with your friends.

We also haven’t forgot the anglers that would like to bring their family across and have a week away from the madding crowd. The chalet is very close to the bank and also behind the “green gates” there is another world to discover for those ladies that don’t want to spend all their time watching their partners catching big fish… So, a wander around the pretty little town of Vitry-le-François with a good choice of street cafés and shops is very therapeutic on a hot summers day. But for those that like that “something else”, we would strongly recommend Epernay and the charming Avenue of Champagne with the most known Houses in the business. A stop at Moët & Chandon and a visit to the cellars would be very interesting – please have a look at www.moet.com And to add some adventure, bikers could find suitable country roads, for a few hours escape.

So you'll believe,
This fish I'll leave,
And off I'll go again.
To sit and wait,
With line and bait,
And hope it's not in vain.
(A fisherman’s wish by George Savige)
