MAISON D'HOTES - LA COLOMBIERE
Anne Gros - Vosne Romanée
 
Oenotouristic activities           

"It is necessary to spare our spirit and to grant time to him to other a respite wich will make on him the effect of a repairing food. It is also necessary to walk in full shift,because the free sky and the great outdoors stimulate and revive the heart. Sometimes a displacement,a voyage,a change of horizon will give him a new strength or a good meal with a little more wine than of habit."
La tranquilité de l'âme, Sénèque
