It's a wrap up for 2019
A fine year of wargaming at French Wargame Holidays at L'Hotel de Hercé, we had visitors from all over the world, United States of America, Canadians, Australians and French made up a majority of the wargamers followed by some surprises, Chinese, Swiss, Latvian, Maltese, and Indian.
Our most popular "Walk the Battlefield in the morning, Wargame in the afternoon" tours was World War Two battlefield tours and wargaming, followed by high medieval battlefield tours and wargaming, with only two each for dark ages and ancient battlefield tours and games and one Renaissance tour and wargame. A large majority were ex or current serving military personnel, the remainder from all walks of life.

Our standard Military history tours were also very popular, particularly DDay American sector, the 100 years war, and William the Conqueror followed by our historical cultural tours to Brittany and the Loire. We did have two requests to follow in the footsteps of relatives who served during the liberation of France.
A large majority of the guests attended with there partners, they both enjoyed relaxing in the grand Salons and gardens of L'Hotel de Hercé , shopping and dining locally, plus most couples enjoyed together our military history tours or our cultural tours. L'Hotel de Hercé achieved a Booking.com average 9.7 on our general bed and breakfast bookings, which we are very proud of.
