Eugenie Poumaillou, Franco-Venezuelan, lives in Paris.

HUT IN THE TREES
When a chatelain friend offers you to spend a weekend in a hut perched in the trees, you don’t hesitate one second. Excited by the exoticism of this proposal and despite the anti-Parisian front that continues to grow in Bordeaux, I jumped into the first LGV with my fiance to enjoy a honeymoon-like moment …
ROMANTIC
Greeted by Eric - owner of Château Lestange in Quinsac - reality literally surpassed the fiction of fairy tales. A four-poster bed, a 4-star bathroom, a small stove for an evening by the fire, not forgetting the large terrace a few meters up, allowing you to admire the autumn coloured vines by day ... and the illuminated steeples of Bordeaux after dark. All you need to relish a lyrical and unforgettable experience.
FOOD "Exotic" is not only the proposal. In the evening, Eric starts cooking to make you taste the local specialties washed down with the Quinsac emblematic claret. Sitting around his table, the moment has come to discover the lamprey, the last prehistoric fish, very popular and respected in Bordeaux, which is consumed cooked in a wine sauce garnished with leeks ... Amazing in the mouth, but not recommended for those who, like us, had the misfortune to google it before tasting it!
WARNING
If, on the way back, your fiancé, in a state of drunkenness, has a moonlight whim to return to the hut through the woods, REFUSE CATEGORICALLY! Thus you will avoid the risk of an unfortunate encounter with a wild boar in search of acorns..
GREEN ATTITUDE
... Because who says "hut in the woods", says oak which rhymes with acorns, the presence of squirrels and, NATURALLY, wild boars.
