I have a bit of a dislike of pull-down style menus. I know it's a
bi-lingual site, but can't the menus be organized more accessibly?

Other than that, jobs a goodun.

I'll bear that one in mind, ta. One of the remarks I had by BRC was
that the menus weren't obvious before (I just had the flags) so I had
to add the word "menu" between the flags.

The pictures need to be more integrated in the pages. When describing a room
I want to see a picture of it on that page.

Like prawn I don't like the menus either. Can't you have buttons to select
the language and then links in a column for the different sections instead
of the pull-down menus.

I found the para on the front page difficult to scan. Plus, if you use
"the plan is" you don't need "in the future".[1] :o)

As others have said, the menus are a bit hidden.

I'm not sure of the Englaish *and* French menus being available. Most
other sites you select the language and the site is the same whichever
is chosen.

On the Gite page "Independant" is spelled incorrectly.

"Tarif" might be "tarif" in Frog, but it's definitely "tariff" in
English.

Some of it I found to be a bit "wordy", where list/bullet points might
be better. One example is on the Cafe page where the opening times
would be better separated out from the text, imo.

[1] One of my current bugbears is people peppering their sentences with
"going forward" - "Our plan going forward is...". Aaaaaarrrggghhh!
Lose it.

I think it's pretty good - though it wasn't obvious to me that the
'menu' pull down was where to go to get more information. It would be
nice if there were photos next to the text, rather than all clumped
together, especially for the room descriptions etc.
