Tout d'abord merci pour votre passage à La Closerie de Fronsac et votre bon avis sur notre établissement. En effet, nous apportons un grand soin à nos petits-déjeuners avec exclusivement des produits biologiques et/ou locaux ce que peu d'établissements font. Nous proposons une formule complète avec de nombreux choix. Effectivement, tout chez nous est une recherche de mobiliers anciens, des chambres avec des styles et des périodes différents qui peuvent-être mêlés avec une pointe de modernité (œuvres d’artisans, d’artiste et designers) et vous pouvez trouver cela "suranné", cela est votre point de vue, mais nous préférons le terme d’« authentique » avec une décoration ayant une « âme ». Quant à « kitsch », malheureusement nous ne voyons vraiment pas ce qui pourrait l’être chez nous mais peut-être que nous n'en avons pas la même définition. Bien cordialement.

First of all, thank you for your visit to La Closerie de Fronsac and your comment. Thank you for your compliments, and we are very happy that you had a pleasant stay in our establishment, on the whole. We are very sorry that the weather was not favorable for your stay. Indeed, the common living rooms have period fireplaces, of the 17th and 18th centuries. However, as you have seen, they are not closed, and of course we cannot afford to light them for the safety of our guests, whether because of the fumes which would emerge from them, or of an ember which would jump on one of our sofas or our carpets. We hope you will agree that we cannot take that risk. Perhaps the photos have led you to believe that the fireplaces in the lounges were working, but they aren’t for the reasons stated above. The only working and secure fireplace is in our reception room, we operate it in November and December. Regarding "the complementary glass of wine that was advertized", we're not quite sure we understand. From what we hear, you mean that we offer a free glass of wine to all our guests and that we advertise it in the description of our establishment? We are very sorry but there is no ad in which we offer a free glass of wine to our customers. We offer wine tastings of our production to our customers, which is totally different. It is possible to make it every evening between 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. or in the morning after breakfast at 10:30 a.m./11:00 a.m. We have never refused a tasting to our guests who are interested, and it is free of charge. But we do not offer a free glass of wine to all our guests to welcome them. You took an advantage from a low season rate for April with a 10% discount, the best rate you could get from us during the year including a quality breakfast in a remarkable environment, and if you want to pay a little less and be able to offer yourself a glass of wine, book directly with us!
