Title: B&B recommendation if ever in the Somme area
Post by: gedmundson on May 05, 2016, 05:59:45 AM

Hi folks, I just got back from a trip to France and wanted to pass along a recommendation if you we ever thinking of touring the Somme area. We stayed in a small village between Arras and Cambrai called Baralle, and Le Clos St. Georges was a fantastic find. The place was built in 1860 and survived both wars. It was a German field hospital in WWI, and a German headquarters in WWII. Full of character, the place has been restored by the owners who had it passed down from family. The hospitality was second to none, and the owners Francois and Genevieve Mercier even speak English.

If anyone is interested in more info please just send a message.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi Guy,
Message sent. You are still a young one! It took me until my "60th year" to finally make it to the brickworks by the Bray-Corbie road  ;)
Cheers,
Gary

That looks familiar...I'm sure I've seen pics of convalescing airmen on the front steps.....
