We stayed for one night at Les Glycines on our return to Calais. Despite arriving much later than planned, Mme Rambour (Pierrette) was unruffled and greeted us warmly. She speaks very good English.||||She showed us to our room (Reves d'ailleurs) which was accessed by a staircase to the side of the house. It is a charming room and exactly as depicted on their website. We had booked an evening meal and I highly recommend this. It is delicious and reasonably priced at 20euros per person for an aperitif, starter, main course, cheese, dessert and a coffee/other drink. ||||Pierrette and her husband, Rene, are charming hosts and enjoy receiving guests from all over the world.

Breakfast next morning was superb with home made bread and cake with honey from Renés beehives and preserves made by Pierette from the garden produce. Overall a great value overnight stay. We will return when travelling east again along...
Read moreWe had already stayed here earlier in the year so knew that a warm welcome awaited us at the end of a long and difficult journey from the UK. The warm weather meant that we were able to picnic in the delightful garden and were then joined by our friendly hosts and we shared wine, coffe and our M&S biscuits. ||On our previous visit we had booked an evening meal - delicious and reasonably priced and enhanced by the same friendly hosts who took care to facilitate conversation between all the guests dining that evening. Kind and generous - nothing is too much trouble for these people.||Can...
