Guestbook
“The highlight of my husband's and my recent trip to France was a three- night stay at Mas Cabanne, a bed and breakfast near Uzes in Provence....The hosts, Sasha and Yann Keesing, are a friendly young couple (he's French with Dutch ancestry, she's British) who speak fluent English. They could not have been more helpful....” —Sarah Hofstadter for the San Francisco Chronicle
“Sasha, Yann and Leo, this is our 3rd year here and all I can say is, it gets better every year. It's becoming a home away from home, especially since you've redecorated and added those fine touches to make the place homely. Sixteen carps, totalling in excess of 250 lbs. Later, Simon finally allowed himself an afternoon off by the pond with his wife!!! See you next year. All our love.” — Simon, Martine, Nathalie, Chris and James
“Sasha and Yann, thanks for a wonderful week, just what the doctor ordered. The antics of the birds, the sitting and watching all the wildlife and the feeding. A great centre for the sights, we all have had a cracking week.”— From Rose, Terry, Emily and Dave, Newcastle, England
