michaeldr Posted 2 April , 2019 Share Posted 2 April , 2019 It's good that our GWF Pal Eric Goossens and his wife Özlem have seen their great work at The Gallipoli Houses recognised again, this time in the Daily Saba "We customize everyone's experience to their time and their budget and use many hotels on the peninsula," he said, adding that "some are exceptional like Eric and Özlem's Gallipoli Houses. You never know who you'll meet there, could be a famous hobbit like Sir Peter Jackson or any number of famous historians." see https://www.dailysabah.com/expat-corner/2019/03/26/legendary-expat-series-meet-the-gallipoli-artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 15 July , 2019 Share Posted 15 July , 2019 Hello, I have stayed yesterday at the Royal Hainaut at Valenciennes, it's a new 4 star hotel open since May 2019. Very good, very nice, an impressive building and nice work after a 8 years restoration. The building was an hospital used in WW1 and until 2009. I have stayed in a certain number of hotels in France and Europe and this one is definitily on my top list. Everything is "magnifique", from the swimming pool to the bar and the rooms. Website here: https://www.royalhainaut.com The hospital was there in 1918... And the same building today The hotel is inside: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 18 October Admin Share Posted 18 October Stayed there once, a lovely place, but our visit was slightly marred by a certain Antiopdean couple. I see a new place at Mametz has appeared on Gites de France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, maybe you mean a Queensland couple cited in a certain thread. 12 hours ago, KIRKY said: ad that Butterworth has closed on the Somme, now a private house. Tony, this would have to be very sad news. We had a few stays there starting in 2012 and my wife emailed John last year at the height of COVID to see how he and Chantelle were going. We got a lovely reply with an understated suggestion that things were tough. Great place for Australians following units on the Somme as it is so close to everything that featured from March to August 1918, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
