My aim at Villa Roquette is to find ways to encourage guests to stay and to ensure they enjoy and discover what they seek in Languedoc.
Our climate is a gentle Mediterranean one, mild and healthy - we have 300 days of sunshine each year – we live at the heart of the largest area of vineyards in the world and we have the ocean and mountains protecting one of the oldest areas of civilization.
We also have many local activities to attract visitors, local golf courses, many rivers to fish, water sports, from white water to jet-skis – the longest golden sandy beaches in France and historical buildings everywhere.
I discovered tantric sex, would you believe, In Bahrain at a book fair. I happened to be there one January and was helping a fascinating chap sell his libraries at an exhibition – I forget why I was there, it may have been to do with de-gaussing missiles or setting up a kitchen for an air-force base – possibly doing some woodwork – whatever I was doing there is was it was definitely to do something I am not good at.
Anyway, I was not rushed off my feet at the book fair, so sat quietly going through the books – I found a fully illustrated book on Yoga – Tantric Yoga – Sexual instruction for Tantric Yoga – it was a large book, well printed, I could not put it down.
Bahrain does not seem the best place to develop an interest in Tantric sex, but that is another story. I mention this because last Sunday in the British Sunday Times paper there was a two page report on a chap in London teaching tantric sex – it would once have been my ideal job, I like the idea of getting paid to make people relaxed and happy.
So I am wondering if I should offer Tantric sex therapy as a service at Villa Roquette – although the golf, fishing , walking and cycling is excellent, this sort of exercise interests me more and is something I would like to try.
All I have to do is lose a bit of weight and persuade Carole this is a good plan to bring guests to stay with us.
That’s so funny….not the first thing I thought of when deciding to take time in France but hey…..it wasn’t what you thought you would find in Bahrain either.
