Thirty minuets south-east of the English Channel and the seaside town of Le Touquet, you’ll find the tiny French village of St Rémy au Bois. This village plays host to the most charming little tea room ran by two lovely Brits, Judy and Nick.
Sven and I have the great pleasure of spending our final Workaway week in France with these two. Their cozy tea room, Le Tearoom, is perfectly situated across the courtyard of their adorably shabby micro farm. In addition to serving up piping hot kettles of Earl Gray and delicious, freshly baked scones, Judy and Nick are gourmet jam and marmalade makers. Their organic preserves are served all around the world in 5-star hotels and delicatessens.
Above are just a few photos I snapped on my iPhone. While we were in the Loire, I dropped my camera and tragically broke the lens. I’ve ordered a replacement and I really hope it arrives before we move on to our next destination!
Aside from helping out with the daily influx of tea room customers, S and I have worked on an assortment of random home projects. Even on a micro farm, there’s always plenty to be done.
Pretty soon however, our relaxed time on the French countryside will come to an end along with our two month Workaway experience. On Sunday, we’ll be taking the train to Paris where we’ll begin a proper Parisian holiday doing all of the touristy things one does in the ‘city of lights’.
Once we get back to Hamburg, I’ll begin working on putting together a whole heap of travel guides from our recent adventures!
Talk soon,
Rebecca
