Who has Nobu's secret booking number on speed-dial and knows the seating plan for Le Caprice better than their own kitchen? ES has compiled its own list of London's most influential diners. And there's one common denominator: they're all regulars at the capital's most-hard-to-get-into restaurants. You see, a true Power Diner knows the number one rule of eating out - you are where you eat.
1 Sally Greene
The most important woman in theatre naturally eats out in the heart of theatreland. The Ivy and J Sheekey are favourites - which is no surprise as they're a stone's throw from her latest project, The Vagina Monologues.
2 Elle Macpherson
It seems Elle's taste has improved since she co-owned the Fashion Caf?. The supermodel and her Euro-banker partner are regulars at Nobu. Not surprising since sushi is perfect model food - low-cal and pickable.
3 Geoffrey Robinson
The former Paymaster General and his Maltese opera-singer wife eschew the standard New Labour hang-outs (River Caf?, The People's Palace) and instead are regulars at socialist favourite The Gay Hussar. Geoffrey likes the Hungarian restaurant in Soho so much that he even tried to buy it a couple of years ago. Can also be found at the Savoy Grill.
4 Simon Kelner
The editor of The Independent is a familiar face on the circuit. Can be found at The Ivy, The Groucho and, according to our sources, 'a greasy kebab shop on the Holloway Road'.
5 Jonathan Newhouse
Learn Power Dining from an expert: the chairman of Cond? Nast is so good he can even categorise his favourite venues. For lunch, Le Caprice, for dinner, The River Caf? ('consistently the finest restaurant in the world') and for 'the perfect treacle tart', J Sheekey.
6 Mariella Frostrup
The ultimate Gal About Town is a permanent part of the Notting Hill landscape. Mediterraneo, 192, Zilli - if it's near where she lives and serves food, then Mariella will be there. Possibly with George Clooney.
7 Sir Tim Rice
The Ivy, Savoy Grill and since Sir Tim's a cricket fanatic and MCC member, the restaurant at Lord's.
8 Nicola Formby
Wining and dining is her life: she writes Tatler's Blonde Date column and her partner is restaurant critic AA Gill. A regular at The Ivy.
9 Trudie Styler
The actor/producer eats out more than her hubbie. Think The Ivy, Le Caprice and Nobu. Sting's probably too busy worrying about all the acres of rainforest those chopsticks were made from.
10 Sir Elton John
Loves The Ivy and sister restaurant Le Caprice. His aides are careful when booking a table, though: they are instructed to make sure that John Reid, Elt's former manager and ex-lover, won't be there too.
11 Salman Rushdie
He may be based in the States now but is still a regular London fixture. In fact, we doubt he ever dines in. Frequently spotted in The Ivy, Nobu, The Groucho and Quo Vadis.
12 Theo Fennell
The society jeweller and his wife are on The Ivy painting's 'definites' list.
13 Mark Birley
If you own three of the most exclusive clubs and bars in London (Mark's Club, Harry's Bar, George's), where all the customers are either rich, famous or both, why bother going anywhere else?
14 Peter Mandelson
A Power Dining chameleon: The Ivy (mais bien s?r!), the River Caf? (left wing), Wiltons (right wing) and takeaway pizza when the press are camped outside his flat following the latest scandal. During his Notting Hill days, he also frequented Julie's. They must have missed him: when he moved out, the restaurant had a special 'Farewell Mandy' menu featuring Brazilian linguini. Ouch!
15 Michael Green
Very powerful (chairman of Carlton Communications) and very rich (worth an estimated £100 million), he's another Ivy habitu?. He also tells us that he likes Harry's Bar and Assaggi in W11.
16 Ben Elliot and, 26 Tom Parker Bowles
The It-Boys behind Quintessentially impress would-be clients and investors at either Le Caprice or offal-heaven St John.
17 Hugh Grant
Yet another Ivy fan, but also likes Sloaney favourites the Anglesea Arms and seafood restaurant Catch.
18 Janet Street-Porter
Permanently out. Power breakfasts, business lunches, networking suppers - Janet is Queen of the Power Diners. Along with Neil Tennant, she's a regular at The Ivy and J Sheekey, as well as anywhere new and sceney (Neat in the Oxo Tower, for instance).
19 Andrew Neil
He's a long-lunch-and-cigar kinda guy and banters with politicians in the Savoy Grill and The Ritz. Also spotted in The Howard in Aldwych. Just don't mention Pontevecchio - that's where he wooed Pamela Bordes.
20 Baroness Thatcher
Resolutely old-school. Frequents Tory favourite Wiltons on Jermyn Street (where buffers eat Dover sole and Sir Bernard Ingham is another regular). When it comes to aesthetics, though, it's The Ritz. According to daughter Carol, her mum thinks it has 'the prettiest dining room in London'.
21 Lord Bragg
The defender of the arts has been an Ivy regular for years - long before those vulgar Philistines descended. Also a fan of J Sheekey.
22 Madonna
If she doesn't change Rocco's nappies, she certainly won't boil an egg. Madge is forever eating out - The Ivy, The Square, St John, Julie's, Kensington Place, Dakota, Spoon, San Lorenzo, Drones. A walking Zagat Guide.
23 Michael Caine
He may have owned two formidable dining spots of the Eighties (Langan's, The Canteen) but Caine told us he's a fan of the 'Mark Birley triumvirate'.
24 Cameron Mackintosh
He's a theatre guy so where else but The Ivy?
25 Matthew Freud
Since he's sold half his shares in Pharmacy and then bought shares in The Groucho, guess where the spin-meister does his deals?
27 Joan Collins
The original Lady Who Lunches has graduated to Power Diner par excellence. Can be found at The Ivy, San Lorenzo, Le Caprice, and pricey Italian Cecconi's. Not recommended as a dinner guest, though: was with AA Gill when he was ejected from Ramsay's AND with Michael Winner when he was allegedly barred from Le Gavroche.
28 Sir David Frost
He is The Establishment. So naturally Sir Dave has a seat permanently on stand-by at Wiltons and The Ritz.
29 Posh and 30 Becks
No, we're not sure how much Posh really eats, but she's certainly photographed leaving lots of restaurants. Spotted regularly at classy establishments The Ivy and Drones as well as more look-at-me! places like Sugar Reef and Titanic.
31 Charles Saatchi
The ad-man-turned-art-collector-turned-close-friend-to-Nigella was first spotted courting the Domestic Goddess in - you guessed it - The Ivy. He's such a regular that last November he ate there for five nights in a row. On his fifth visit Charlie was presented with a 'celebration plate' - one of only 17 people to have received one. Also hangs out in Montpeliano, opposite Harrods.
32, Bryan and 34 Lucy Ferry
The Power Pair can be spotted at Mirabelle, Drones and Riva, where Bryan often eats alone. The recipe for a perfect marriage?
33 Dominick Dunne
His New York restaurants are typical Vanity Fair venues (Elaine's, Da Silvano). But over here he frequents Harry's Bar, Claridge's and Le Caprice, where mysterious women with South American accents come over and whisper, 'Lord Lucan is still alive and living in Penge.' Probably.
35 Lulu
Has been described as a 'Tuscan Steak kind of girl'. That means she's a fan of cool hotelier Ian Schrager, partial to a bit of protein, and doesn't mind spending £65 on a steak.
36 Sir Terence Conran
London's most prolific restaurateur - Le Pont de la Tour, Bluebird, you know the score.

The present invention relates to a vulcanizing press for vulcanizing flat articles, such as rubber backings on textile mats, and of the type consisting of a lower pressing plate, an upper pressing plate, which pressing plates are mutually displaceable towards and away from each other, a press frame which supports one of the pressing plates, a guide and driving means for the displaceable movement of the other pressing plate between a closed vulcanizing position and an open position for insertion of basic materials and removal of finished vulcanized articles, and perhaps a conveyor means for feeding basic materials and for removal of the finished articles between the pressing plates, one of which being adapted to be heated by heating elements.
The vulcanizing press according to the invention is characterized in the pressing plates having locking means which, in the closed vulcanizing position of the press, is adapted to lock the pressing plates in a predetermined distance from each other, and that the pressing plate, being without heating elements on a side thereof facing the other pressing plate, carries an inflatable member which is able to be inflated by means of a pressurized fluid, which member, in the closed position of the press, is positioned and adapted to perform a uniform pressure directly on substantially the whole flat side of the article, when the article is positioned between the pressing plates. Hereby is obtained with rather simple means a vulcanizing press for vulcanizing flat articles, such as textile mats with a rubber backing as there is no need for using pressurized fluid of high pressures to the very pressing pressure during the vulcanizing. This is due to the fact that the locking members transfer the high pressing forces between the pressing plates while the inflatable member supplies the uniform pressure against the article which is to be vulcanized. Consequently there is no need to use an expensive toggle press or hydraulic cylinders at high fluid pressures for obtaining the surface pressure nenessary for the vulcanizing process. Furthermore the flat articles which are to be vulcanized in the press need not have a specially uniform thickness as is the case with the presses known so far as the inflatable member in its surface of contact against a flat article to be vulcanized is resilient so as to be able to adapt itself to the surface contour and local thickness of the article without the local surface pressure being increased in the thickest zones of the article and decreased in its thinnest zone. This has a special importance where vulcanizing pressing of textile mats with rubber backing is concerned, as too excessive local surface pressure can destroy the textile structure, as this structure at rather high vulcanizing temperatures easily will be burnt, if the surface pressure becomes too elevated.
According to the invention many forms of inflatable members can be used in the vulcanizing press. A characteristic feature of them all is that on the side which is to abut the textile side of the vulcanizing article they are made of a material which is able to follow the surface form of the article and is able to uniformly transfer the pressure of the pressurized fluid. In a preferred embodiment, the inflatable member includes a fluid-pressure box which, on its side facing, the other pressing plate, is closed by a flexible, possibly elastically yieldable membrane which is sealingly fastened to the fluidpressure box and that the interior of the box behind the membrane is adapted to be connected to a pressurized fluid source and, possibly, to a vacuum source. Thereby the movement and the pressure of the inflatable member can be accurately controlled. The movement of the membrane towards the article can take place by means of a supply of pressurized fluid of a certain pressure value, and the returning of the membrane can take place by means of its own weight or by replacing the pressurized fluid by a vacuum.
According to the invention a spacer member permeable by a pressurized fluid can be placed behind the membrane along its entire length for maintaining a small distance between the bottom of the fluidpressure box and the rear side of the membrane. This is expedient, especially if a very small membrane travel or motion is desired whereby a substantially planar membrane can be used. The permeable spacer member is able to transfer a predetermined small surface pressure during the closing of the press and to prevent forming of pockets or voids of fluid between the membrane and the bottom of the box. Without a spacer member such pockets would be able to prevent the pressurized fluid pressure in being evenly distributed all over the membrane surface if the travel of the membrane between its active position and its resting position was too small.
Instead of inflatable member of the aforementioned type, the member can be constituted by a radially inflatable and contractable hose which is placed on the other pressing plate for establishing a layer formed of the hose in more abutting loops or bights. By pressurizing the interior of the hose this will attempt to change its form from its pressureless condition, which condition can be circular or flattened, to a circular or oval inflated condition, if possible in connection with elastical expansion of the hose wall in the circumferential direction. Such a hose can abut the article directly or indirectly via a flexible or pliable membrane or sheet attached to the outermost side of the hose formed layer. Whether the surface of contact of the inflatable member against the article is constituted by a hose or a membrane a flexible or pliable textile sheet or foam plastic sheet can furthermore be positioned between the article and the inflatable membrane for further absorption of the thickness differences of the article and distribution of the pressure of the pressurized fluid over the flat textile side of the article.
In a preferred embodiment the lock members consist of U-formed yokes placed at the opposite side edges of the pressing plates, where the bottom of the U extends perpendicular to the pressing plates, and the branches of the U extend along the rear surfaces of the pressing plates, which surfaces are turned away from each other, and of wedges or locking pawls operated by drive members, such as linear motors, the wedges or locking pawls being positioned between a U-branch and its adjacent pressing plate in the closed vulcanizing position of the press.
The pressing plate without the heating elements can expediently constitute the horizontal lower pressing plate, which by drive members is vertically displaceable, while the other pressing plate with yokes can constitute a stationarily positioned upper pressing plate, where the wedges or the locking pawls are positioned horizontally displaceably under the lower pressing plate. In this way it is avoided that the upward flow of heat from the heat element provided pressing plate can influence the inflatable member with an unnecessary high temperature, and that a minor part of the effect of the heater elements is wasted by convection loss to the air in the gap or press chamber between the pressing plates. The heated air in the press chamber can be kept here by placing a downwardly directed heat insulating shell or skirt around and along the circumference of the upper pressing plate. The pressing plate without the heating elements can of course also constitute the horizontal upper pressing plate, which only involves increased requirements to the temperature resistance and to the non-ageing qualities of the material of which the inflatable member consists, but, on the other hand, is obtained that a feeding member for the articles for vulcanizing in the press can be stationarily kept in the same level during the entire pressing operation, while this feeding member during the pressing operation where the pressing plate without the heating elements constitutes the lower pressing plate will be exposed to a vertical displacement in the zone of the pressing plates during the pressing operation in cases where the heat element provided press plate is to be stationary.
The invention will in the following be further explained in connection with some embodiments and with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a vulcanizing press where the upper pressing plate is free of heating elements,
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line I--I of the press shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of another embodiment of the vulcanizing press where only the lower pressing plate is free of heating elements,
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II--II of FIG. 3,
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a pressing plate free of heating elements and with an inflatable member in the form of a hose,
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III--III in FIG. 5, where the side of the hose formed layer turned against the articles to be vulcanized is provided with a flexible membrane, and where the hoses are in a partly flattened condition, and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 6 except that the hose is in an inflated condition and the hose wall is elastically expanded in the circumferential direction.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a vulcanizing press generally designated by the reference numeral 1 with a lower pressing plate 2 which carries a heating plate 3 which in its entire extent is provided with a heater element.
A press frame generally designated by the reference numeral 4 including a bed plate 5 and supporting columns 6 carries the lower pressing plate 2 at the top of the columns 6. The lower pressing plate 2, on an underside thereof carries a number of pressurized fluid cylinders 7 which have pressurized fluid connections 8 and are adapted to displace their respective locking pawl or wedge 9 at a low fluid pressure between an inactive and an active position. Along the top side of the heating plate 3 is placed a conveyor belt 10 for the inlet or feeding of basic materials to be vulcanized in the vulcanizing press 1 and the outlet or removal of the vulcanized articles from the vulcanizing press 1.
The upper pressing plate 15 is positioned above the lower pressing plate 2 and carries on its underside an inflatable member 16 which, by a controlled inlet or outlet of the pressurized fluid via a connecting branch 17, can be inflated to an active position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 or can be drawn back to an inactive position at a larger distance from the conveyor belt 10 and the heating plate 3. The upper pressing plate 15 is carried by posts 18, which, in turn, is carried by bellows cylinders 19 which are resting on the bed plate 5. The bellow cylinders 19 are supplied with a pressurized fluid via fluid tubes or hoses 20 connected to the interior of the bellow cylinders 19. When an article generally designated by the reference numeral 21 to be vulcanized is placed on the conveyor belt 10 outside the vulcanizing press 1 the article 21 can be conveyed between the pressing plates 2,15 via the conveyor belt 10, when the fluid cylinders 7 have moved their locking pawls 9 to their inactive position, the bellow cylinders 19 have received a pressurized fluid and have lifted the posts 18 and thereby the upper pressing plate 15 with the inflatable member 16 drawn back to its inactive position. For the sake of clarity the article 21 is not shown between the pressing plates, 2,15 in the drawing. The article 21 to be vulcanized may for example be made up of a rubber backing 22 and a textile part 23, where it is desired to have the rubber backing vulcanized onto the textile part 23. After the article 21 has been conveyed into the press chamber between the pressing plates, i.e. between the heating plate 3 and the inflatable member 16, which in FIGS. 1 and 2 is made as a membrane, the upper pressing plate 15 is lowered by exhausting of the bellow cylinders 19, and the upper pressing plate 15 is locked relative to the lower pressing plate 2 by insertion of the pawls 9 between the projections 24 and the posts 18 below the lower pressing plate 2 and the very lower pressing plate 2, as the pressure fluid cylinders 7 are provided with a pressurized fluid via a pressure fluid connection 8 for displacement of their respective locking pawls 9 to the active positions, whereupon a possible partial vacuum behind the membrane 16 is replaced by a positive pressure which is supplied via a connecting branch 17. After the article 21, during a certain vulcanizing time, has been fixed between the membrane 16 and the heating plate 3, supplied with steam or electric current via one or more energy connections 25, the rubber backing 22 has been vulcanized on the textile part 23, and the article 21 can be removed from the press 1 by means of the conveyor belt 10 after the positive pressure behind the membrane 16 has been removed and, if possible, replaced by a partial vacuum, the locking pawls 9 of the cylinders 7 have been moved to their inactive position, and the upper pressing plate 15 has been elevated by pressure fluid supply to the bellow cylinders 19 via their fluid tubes or hoses 20. As an example of typical working conditions, the temperature of the heating plate 3 can be about 180� C., the surface pressure and the inner positive pressure supplied by the membrane 16 can be about 3 bar, while the treatment time for the vulcanizing article under press 1 between the pressing plates 15 and 2 can be 4-5 minutes, depending of the chosen rubber mixture in the rubber backing 22. A preferred rubber mixture has a low fluidity, a high elasticity, a low modulus and is quickly vulcanizing.
Instead of being fixed directly to the upper pressing plate 15, the membrane 16 can be fixed to a frame, which is fixed to the upper pressing plate 15. Instead of the shown membrane 16, which is designed with inclined edge parts, a completely plane membrane can be used which will be cheaper to produce. Behind the membrane 16, along its entire length a pressure fluid permeable spacer member 16 can be disposed for maintaining a small distance between the rear side of the membrane and the opposite side of the membrane chamber. When the press 1 is closed such a spacer member will prevent establishment of pressure fluid pockets or voids such as air pockets in the inner of the membrane chamber as in its closed position the press 1 can cause the membrane 16, via the inserted article 21, to be pressed against the opposite wall of the membrane chamber, whereby the pressure fluid, which is supplied through the connecting branch 17, can be prevented in passing into thereby closed parts of the membrane chamber. Such a spacer member will be further described in connection with FIG. 4.
The conveyor belt 10 is made of a heat resistant material of a nature or thickness which does not, to any appreciable extent, prevents a heat transfer from the heating plate 3 to the article 21. This conveyor belt 10 can be adapted to be unwound from a storage roll and to be wound around another roll, but can also be of an endless type, whereby the supporting columns 6 then will have to be removed from their position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to a position along the side edges of the lower pressing plate.
The feeding of the articles 21 can take place from one end of the press 1, with an outlet or removal at its other end, but the feeding can also take place from both ends with outlets or removals at both ends if a reciprocable conveyor belt is used. In the last mentioned case the length of the conveyor belt can be more than halved.
In FIGS. 3 and 4 a press generally designated by the reference numeral 31 is provided wherein the placing of the inflatable member 16 and the heating plate 3 has been modified. The press 31 includes lower pressing plate 32 carrying the inflatable member 16, which in FIGS. 3 and 4, again is a membrane shown in its active position, i.e. with a positive pressure in its membrane chamber from a pressure fluid supplied through a connecting branch 47. The lower pressing plate 32 is supported by membrane cylinders 49 resting on their respective brackets 36 which are placed at the bottom of a press frame generally designated by the reference numeral 34. In the membrane chamber between the membrane 16 and the lower pressing plate 32 is placed a spacer member 37 which is penetrable to the pressure fluid and resistant to compressive force from the membrane 16 in a direction towards the lower pressing plate 32. The spacer member 37 can be a perforated plate with open canals in its side turned towards the lower pressing plate. The press frame 34 consists, in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 of four posts 48 which at the top stationarily carry the upper pressing plate 45, to which the heating plate 3 is fixed, if possible as shown with an intermediate heat insulating plate 51 which shall be able, firstly, to transfer the high pressing powers and, secondly, to prevent too much heat transfer from the heating plate 3 to the upper pressing plate 43. Around the hot heating plate 3 and fixed to the upper pressing plate 45 can be fastened a shell or skirt (not shown) for preventing excessive heat convection from the heat surface of the heating plate 3.
To the upper pressing plate 45 is fixed a number of yokes 52 which are U-shaped and where the bottom of the U extends perpendicularly to the pressing plates 32,45, the branches of the U extending along the rear sides of the pressing plates 32,45, which rear sides are turned away from each other. The lowermost U-branches 54 are in the lifted position of the lower pressing plate 32, i.e. lifted by the bellow cylinders 39, adapted to cooperate with the locking pawls 9 driven by the pressure fluid cylinders 7 for locking of the pressing plates 32,45 relative to each other in the closed position of the press. For changing the distance between the pressing plates, these yokes 52 can be replaced by yokes with another bottom length, or the locking pawls 9 can be replaced by locking pawls of another dimension.
An article 21 which is to be vulcanized in the press 31, as shown in FIG. 3, is conveyed with the textile side 23 turned downward and the rubber backing 22 turned upward in an unvulcanized condition. The article 21 is conveyed into the press chamber between the pressing plates 45 and 32, to be more explicit between the membrane 16 and the heating plate 3 by means of the conveyor belt 10. This happens in such a condition for the press 31 in which the press has had the pawls 9 drawn out of engagement with the yokes 52, the positive pressure in the membrane chamber has been removed and in which condition the lower pressing plate 32 has been lowered by exhausting of the bellow cylinders 49 which, in this condition, if possible can have their interior connected to a vacuum source via the connecting branches 50. In this condition the lower pressing plate 32 has been lowered with the membrane 16 drawn down, and, in this way, the conveyor belt 10, which rests on the top side of the membrane 16, has also been drawn downwards. When the article 21 has been conveyed by the conveyor 10 into the press chamber between the pressing plates 45,32 the lower pressing plate 32 will be lifted by the bellow cylinders 49, whereby the article 21 and the conveyor belt 10 will be lifted up to abut or almost abut the heating plate 3. The locking pawls 9 are brought to their shown active locking position whereafter a pressure fluid under positive pressure is supplied behind the membrane 16 via the connecting branch 47 from which the pressure fluid is evenly distributed all over the entire rear side of the membrane 16 by means of the spacer member 37 which is only necessary if a risk is involved for establishment of air pockets in the membrane chamber. The pressure behind the membrane 16 presses the article 21 against the heating plate 3 under the required press pressure, such as 2-4 bar positive pressure, and the article 21 is exposed to the required vulcanizing temperature, such as 120�-210� C. dependent of the chosen textile material 23 and rubber backing material 22. The article 21 is exposed to the compression pressure during a certain pressing time, such as 2-10 minutes, preferably 4-5 minutes, whereafter the chamber of the membrane 16 is exhausted or evacuated, the locking pawls 9 are moved back to their inactive position, and the lower pressing plate 32 is lowered by exhausting or evacuating the membrane cylinders 49. The article 21 can then be conveyed out of the press 31 on the conveyor belt 10, if possible simultaneously with the next article 21 being conveyed into the press chamber which is now completely opened. When the inflatable member, such as the membrane 16, is placed on the lower pressing plate 32, the article 21 will have to be positioned with the textile side 23 downwards and the rubber backing 22 upwards, or articles in general must be placed with that side, which is desired to be exposed to the highest vulcanizing temperature, upwards.
The side of the inflatable member or membrane 16, which side is turned against the press chamber, can, if possible, be covered with a foam plastic layer whereby the inflatable member will be able to absorb still larger thickness differences in the articles 21 to be vulcanized with substantially uniform pressing pressure all over the surface of the article 21.
FIG. 5 shows an inflatable member in the form of a hose 60 with a low coefficient of longtiudinal expansion and high coefficient of circumferential expansion. The hose 60 is fixed to a plate 61, e.g. by adhesion, and the plate 61 is fixed to a lower pressing plate 32 or to an upper pressing plate 15, in dependence of which one of the presses in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 being used. The hose 60 is, at one of its ends, provided with a plug 62 and, at its other end, provided with a connection piece 63 for supplying or evacuating of a pressure fluid. If possible the hose 60 as shown in FIGS. 6, and 7, can be covered with a flexible sheet 64 which can be laminated of several flexible sheets or only one flexible sheet for equalizing the surface pressure of the hose against the vulcanizing article 21. Between the flexible sheet 64 and the hose 60 can be placed wedge-shaped profiles where the individual parts of the hose abut each other, which profiles further equalize the surface pressure provided by the hose 60 to the flexible sheet 64. In a not shown embodiment the hose 60 can also consist of several abutting parallel rectilinear hose pieces positioned side by side, one end of the pieces being connected to a manifold and the other end of which being plugged or connected to another manifold.

text:
Why? Because he got England into the World Cup with the last kick of the campaign and became a role-model captain; he was recently voted FIFA's second-best player in the world. All the furore over his contract renewal is testament to Beckham's power.
Power rating: 8/10
David Dein, vice chairman of Arsenal
Why? Because he kick-started the Continental revolution in English football by importing Frenchman Ars?ne Wenger. Without Wenger's influence, there would have been no Sven, whom Dein ? in his other role as FA vice chairman ? was instrumental in headhunting. Then, while Ken Bates, Chris Smith et al fumbled with the new Wembley stadium, Dein eased through approval for Arsenal's £250 million footie coliseum.
Power rating: 7/10
Jon Holmes and Tony Stephens, SFX Sports Group
Why? Because they're the football super-agents who run the careers of David Beckham, Michael Owen, Gary Lineker and a squad of other stars. Fall out with them and you could end up being sent to Coventry (City).
Power rating: 7/10
Adam Crozier, chief executive of the Football Association
Why? Because his appointment of the Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson as England manager transformed national football. Now it's Crozier, not Eriksson, who will be deciding whether Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer and John Terry will be eligible to play for England again.
Power rating: 9/10
Sven-Goran Eriksson
Why? Because he can make or break footballers' careers. And a successful England team will bring in millions of pounds of sponsorship for the FA and his team ? and send brewers' shares soaring. If England wins the World Cup, the ensuing feel-good factor will halt the recession in its tracks. And because he's just landed a mention in Who's Who.
Power rating: 8/10
Lord Maclaurin, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board
Why? Because he has done the impossible and modernised cricket. He brought in Sir Paul Condon to sniff out match-fixing, faced down the Indian Cricket Board over its plans to field a banned player, introduced a contract system for England test players, and brokered the deal that took cricket to Channel 4.
Power rating: 6/10
John Crowther, chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association
Why? Because the LTA is the second-most profitable tennis association in the world, after the US. It makes £30 million annually from Wimbledon alone.
Power rating: 5/10
Daniel Levy, managing director of sports and media group ENIC
Why? Because as boss of ENIC, he owns substantial stakes in six top-flight European clubs ? including Tottenham, Glasgow Rangers and Vincenza ? making him one of the most influential men in sport.

Sir: While rightly acknowledging the resentment caused by (in her words) the "stripped down" attitude of funerals bereft of religious significance ("The British way of death", 26 July), Glenda Cooper fails to mention the equal resentment and unease caused by the inappropriate and largely impersonal religious funerals that still predominate at our crematoria and cemeteries.
Humanist funerals, which concentrate on celebrating the life and defining the essence of a personality, and include a wide range of music and poetry of a secular nature, are now an established and exponential phenomenon. British Humanist Association accredited officiants presently conduct more than 2,000 non-religious funerals each year, and a further unquantifiable but significant number are undertaken by families or friends on their own behalf.
It is telling that such growing numbers should seek alternatives to the standardised, quasi-religious, and often cursory funeral approach, described memorably in 1988 by Ken Livingstone MP as "about as moving as the checkout at a supermarket". And, if the non-religious option was more openly publicised by funeral directors, crematoria, hospitals and other social agencies, we would surely find ourselves on the brink of an enlightened social revolution where funeral rites are concerned.

This is a beautiful house in a tranquil setting. Nelly and Thierry are wonderful hosts and very welcoming. We were given wine and fruit and we enjoyed our stay very much. We would definitely return and we thoroughly recommend this house to everyone. The location is perfect for visiting the surrounding vineyards.Roberto2015-07-24T00:00:00Z
Nelly has a lovely house with plenty of space for the whole family. It is a short drive to St Emilion and Bordeaux, while being in a peaceful hamlet.Kathryn2016-08-25T00:00:00Z
What an amazing house! Such a beautiful place, we were sad to leave. This is an immaculate, homely and lovely place to stay. Even the drive away through the vineyards was beautiful. Nelly and Thierry were very welcoming and kind, their dog too! My friends and I loved staying here for an evening and wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you for having us.Victoria2014-08-18T00:00:00Z

Flawless place and hosts! Lots of character and history in this home. Accommodated our large group last minute and we ended up staying another day. Well recommended if you want piece and quiet from the hustle and bustle of the city and within driving distance to many amazing landmarks in the local area. Thanks for your hospitality. We hope to visit again.George2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
We came to Euro 2016 to watch Hungary play in Bordeaux against Austria. It was difficult to find a closer place to the venue, but we were pleased to find this lovely house just 35km away from Bordeaux. It is in a lovely little town, very quiet and the host were very friendly, we had a great 2 night's sleep. The house was big and very clean, we found everything we needed in the kitchen, living room etc. So in overall I would recommend to anyone. Thank you Nelly and Thierry! :)Attila2016-06-17T00:00:00Z
Nelly was so kind with us. She prepared every thing before our arrival. The house is bigger than the photos and it was really clean. Also it's really comfortable even for 7 person.berfin2016-01-25T00:00:00Z
It was a pleasure to meet lovely couple, Nelly and Thierry. Their house is a lovely place to explore saint Emilion and around.

We had an incredible time staying at Le Clos. It was a perfect getaway and Stephanie was a brilliant host. The apartment was beautifully decorated and had everything you could need, and the grounds were beautiful with farm animals roaming around. We spent three glorious days here for our mini moon and will definitely be returning. Fantastic location too! Air Bnb doesn't get much better than this!Sophie 2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Fantastic stay at La Clos! Stephanie was a fantastic host - the house provided everything we needed for our stay and to serve as a home away from home, we could enjoy the gorgeous surroundings plus RELAX! This was our first Airbnb experience and won't be our last. If you are looking for a relaxed place to stay in the centre of the amazing wine region of Bordeaux and St Emilion, Le Clos is the place to be. Amazing few days here.Rachel2016-08-03T00:00:00Z
We are two authors and stayed at Le Clos for writing. It was perfect! This is such a peaceful, natural but also very tasteful designed place. The owner, Stephanie, is friendly, helpful and well organized. The pictures describes the house and the garden quiet correctly and without any overstatement. It's so beautiful! Our special pleasure were the funny chickens :-) Thank you, Stephanie!Annekathrin 2016-09-10T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay at Stephanie's place. It is a gorgeous and comfortable home. The swimming pool was amazing during hot summer days. Stephanie is a great host. She is easy to reach and when we arrived, gave us great recommendations of things to do. She was very kind and generous, offering us fresh eggs from her chickens as well as fresh, organic strawberries and lettuce. The house is about 15-minute drive from St. Emilion and is quite secluded, but we liked that. The drive is beautiful anyway, so we enjoyed doing it. I highly recommend Stephanie and her place.Sasha2016-07-13T00:00:00Z
Stephanie was the sweetest host and her home is simply magical. A beautiful historic farmhouse in an idyllic setting. The photos barely do it justice. The flat is connected to her house but private enough that you have your own space and access to the pool. The farm complete with animals really gives a get-away experience. We especially enjoyed going into the chicken coop in the mornings and picking our fresh eggs. The location is close to St Emilion and literally tons of vineyards, and only 30 min from Bordeaux. Couldn't recommend enough.Carol2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
Staying here was the highlight of our trip to Spain/France and the best airbnb experience we've ever had. Location We wanted a relaxing location in the french countryside that we could use as a home base to explore the region. With that in mind the location was perfect: quiet, picturesque, and within a ten minute drive of patisseries, amazing hole in the wall restaurants, and wineries. Outside, the house looked like a classic french country farmhouse, surrounded by trees, paddocks, and vineyards. Unit Inside the unit was beautiful, well-appointed, and modern. The kitchenette was good enough for cooking light meals and the fridge was good for storing excess food and wine from the local markets. The bed was large and comfortable and all the sheets, towels, etc were clean and plentiful. The sliding doors look out onto the pool and into the backyard (shared with the main house, in which the hosts live) where the pony, chickens, rabbit, and Vogue (the hungry farm dog) roam free. The three donkeys live behind the house. Hosts The best part was getting to know our host family, hanging out with their animals, and exploring the surrounding area with them (including an impromptu visit to a local goat farm). They were incredibly gracious hosts and we're fortunate to have been invited into their home. Thank you for everything! We can't wait to come back.Edward2016-06-15T00:00:00Z
After just getting married in France we wanted a little mini moon somewhere calm and tranquil and my goodness is that what we found at Stephanie's home. Stephanie has created a beautiful home with attention to all the finer details which made our stay perfect. The house is decorated so tastefully and is fully equipped with everything you may need. The outside area is amazing with a large pool area and you have the pleasure of sharing the garden with a horse, chickens, a rabbit and the beautiful Vouge ( Labrador). with very good link to st emilion where there is a large selection of restaurants and bars you really could not ask for more. We really could not recommend this place any more 10/10 on all levels Thanks StephanieFrancesca2016-06-24T00:00:00Z
Le Clos's home is gorgeous and outstanding! Stephanie's hospitality and personal advice was on point and heartfelt. She welcomed us with a glass of local wine, booked a reservation, answered any questions and gathered wood for an amazing fire. We loved spending time in this exquisite French countryside guest house and felt right at home. We can't wait to return.Christine2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

This was a great house out in on a country road in the middle of wine country. My husband and our two children stayed here a couple of nights and enjoyed the quiet and peace of the place, while having very convenient access to St. Emilion and other countless small villages and wineries in the area. The house is not fancy, but Raphael keeps it very clean and the other guests were all friendly and respectful of everyone's space. We felt very welcome and at home, merci Raphael!Sarah2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
La maison porte bien son nom ("sérénité"); nous étions venues pour un WE de retrouvailles entre copines, et le cadre était parfait. La maison est perdue dans les vignes; il y a des belles balades à faire. St. Emilion se trouve à 15 min. de voiture. Bon rapport qualité / prix.

We have enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Chateau Ferret-Lambert a lot! Especially Valeries great hospitality and the temporarily visits of the very nice "watchdog" Gap. It is a perfect place with great pool, very stylish and very private. "Le Pigeonnier" is also perfectly located to visit Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion or the Dune de Pyla. We thank Valerie a lot for the wonderful days that we could spend at this great place and hope to come back soon!Alexander2015-09-05T00:00:00Z
Valerie was a wonderful host! Her property was spectacular, and she was very welcoming! We hope to visit again very soon!Meg2015-07-05T00:00:00Z
If you are looking for a little slice of paradise to get away and relax, then this is the place for you. The pigeonnier is lovely - old but lovingly restored with style and all the amenities you need. The bed is super comfortable and the walk-in shower and claw foot bath fantastic. We enjoyed spending evenings cooking our own meals in the well-appointed kitchen and then dining on the private deck with a nice glass of Bordeaux red. The deck area overlooks the beautiful vineyard and you have access to the family pool to cool down. Make sure you taste the wine too - it was some of the best we tasted during our 12 day stay. Valerie is a wonderful host and is always happy to offer suggestions on things to see and do in the area. We recommend you visit St Emilion and dine at the local restaurant - Caffe Cuisine - in the nearby village of Branne. We could not recommend Le Pigeonnier more highly and we hope to visit again soon. Many thanks Valerie for a wonderful stay.Ifan2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
Valerie was an excellent host. She made our arrival plans very easy and we were greeted by a lovely holiday house surrounded by beautiful vineyards. The whole family loved swimming in the excellent pool or playing table tennis in the shade. It is only a short drive to the pretty village of St. Emilion and there was plenty to see and do close by. I would definitely recommend this lovely gite to anyone looking for a quiet get away.Tom2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful experience! This charming place is nestled along side vineyards,nice padio and a 30 second walk to a well maintained pool. The place is perfect for a couple,a family of 4 or just 4 friends. The host Valerie had some good taste about the interior design. There's a small town within a 3 minute drive with all your essentials(Carrefour as well) and just a 13 minute drive or so to Saint Emillion. If you are looking to sit back,relax and enjoy a glass of wine away from all the fuss,look no further. You can also arrange with the host a walk (5 minutes from the premises) to the nearby cave which serves as the wine cellar to the ChateauSimon2016-06-16T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at the "Pigeonnier"! - The house is lovely. 200 years old from the outside, but very modern and perfectly equipped inside. There is even a washing machine, which comes in very handy on a longer stay! - The chateau is very peacefully located. It's really easy to get to St. Emilion or Bordeaux and a supermarket is only 5 minutes away. And most important: Their wine is really good! :-) In my opinion better than most of the "famous" wines from St. Emilion, which are much more expensive. - Above all, Valerie (and also Henri) was a lovely host. She is very funny and helpful. Thank you very much - we hope to see you again one day!Ulrich2015-09-26T00:00:00Z
Un zéro faute pour ce gîte exceptionnel par son cachet, sa rénovation de qualité, sa décoration de charme ! Valérie est aux petits soins, la piscine est un enchantement après une journée caniculaire, la terrasse donnant sur les vignes est un vrai bonheur ! Que dire de plus ?

My family and I (including two children under 6) spent an enjoyable 4 days based at Marie Louise's house. An ideal location for exploring the Bordeaux/St Emilion area; very comfortable and relaxing.Tom2016-06-02T00:00:00Z
We had the most lovely time in this beautiful house. We are travelling with a little one and he adored the garden and the little village square. The bakery was great for our morning bread and you can't beat the location amongst the vines and just a stones throw from St Emillion. Marie Louise is the most welcoming host, explaining her beautiful house and leaving us fresh jam, bread and butter. I would recommend 100% thanks for having us.Kelly2015-09-28T00:00:00Z
It's à lovely house in à small village, half an hour by car from Bordeaux. The bakers is near, as well as à pizzeria and à little supermarket. The house is spacious, has good beds, everything you need is there. Lovely secluded garden. Marie Louise welcomed us with fruits and à files refrigerator, really kind.henk2015-06-19T00:00:00Z
Spent two nights here, a lovely stay, shopped at the nearby carrefour in Branne and cooked - very well equipped kitchen and all around beautiful place, quiet and relaxing. Marie Louise left the kitchen and house very well stocked for us and waited patiently when we arrived late. Outstanding!Eric2015-06-09T00:00:00Z
Very beautifuly decorated french house with 3 double bedrooms (2 single beds in one of the rooms). The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking. We got food in the carrefour in Branne and ate in 2 of the nights. The town of Moulon is small but very nice with a small casino shop with veg and meat etc..., a boulangerie and a pharmacy. Also the pizzeria was nice for a night out. There's also a craft beer shop beside it. Both owner's were very friendly and helpful. We rented bikes from the mountain bike company who deliver and we cycled 45 mins to Saint Emilion. The countryside around is very nice for cycling also. Marie Louise was very welcoming and friendly and showed us around the house. She left milk, juice, jam, coffee and tea for us. The place is spotlessly clean and organised. It's very tastefully decorated. Marie Louise has a talent for this! The small garden was nice to chill out in.niamh2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
I completely agree with the previous reviews that have been left for this charming house in Moulon. 4 of us stayed here for 3 days / 2 nights to visit the surrounding area (vineyards!) and it was perfect for our needs; spacious, charming, very clean, and Marie-Louise was a very accomodating and thoughtful host! The courtyard is absolutely charming, the bedrooms are comfortable and spacious, the living room and family area are very well decorated and thought-out, and the kitchen is just what you need to make breakfast or a relaxing meal after a day of traipsing through the beautiful Bordeaux region. We would definitely come back!Elizabeth2015-05-15T00:00:00Z
We spent two nights here. Marie-Louise is a very lovely host. She welcomed us with all sorts of recommendations, fruits and some goods in the refrigerator. The house is very spacious and well equipped, the beds are very good. We loved relaxing in the garden. You'll find a backe Everything looks like on the pictures provided on the Airbnb site.

Carol and Bruno's property was an idyllic dream for a stop on our honeymoon. The cottage is larger in person than the images appear, with a beautiful main space and a good sized kitchen. Carol was helpful and accommodating throughout, providing us with great info about the area and even making a dinner reservation for us prior to the evening of our arrival at a wonderful restaurant nearby in Creon. I only wish we had been able to stay longer (or forever!), and immerse ourselves more fully in Entre Deux Mers. Definitely a highlight of our trip.Ben2014-09-21T00:00:00Z
We loved the cottage at La Forge. The gardens and the vineyards nearby were the absolute highlight of our trip. Carol was a great host and helped us set up private cooking lessons, vineyard tours, and wine tastings. She welcomed us with fresh locally made bread and always checked in on our stay to make sure we were having a great time. Would absolutely recommend as a romantic getaway. For family getaways definitely try her other listing, the house at la forge itself.Charles2016-07-21T00:00:00Z
A stunning cottage in a stunning part of the world, made even better by our host Carol, who was warm, interesting, knowledgeable and has a lovely taste in antique furniture as well as giving us superb tips on where to go and what to do. The cycling from Creon to Frontenac was particularly pleasurable. We would return in a heartbeat. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to soak it all in! Perfect for visiting the coast, Bordeaux and further inland. lovely.Michael2015-06-10T00:00:00Z
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at La Forge. The accommodation was (URL HIDDEN) authentic and tastefully furnished. The location in St Quentin de Baron was rural and very peaceful and we really enjoyed exploring the area. We just wished we had longer to explore all the local towns and their markets! Carol was an excellent host, making us feel exceptionally welcome and going out of her way to help make our stay extra special. We had our little one with us and Carol was able to provide virtually anything we needed for her (including a fantastic antique high (URL HIDDEN) of many lovely, unique items of furniture at La Forge!). Not only did she go out of her way to recommend restaurants, a local lake to visit and local walking routes, but Carol who was fascinating to talk to and so knowledgeable about the local area. The accommodation was also very clean with lovely fluffy towels and the garden was incredible! Highly recommended!Jennie2015-06-22T00:00:00Z
What a lovely cottage! The property was idyllic and Carol was absolutely charming! She made us reservations at a lovely restaurant upon our arrival. It was wonderful to have that taken care of after a long day of travel. The kitchen was well equipped and the shower was large with excellent water pressure. Waking up in the cottage is already something we miss! We would love to visit Carol again soon and definitely recommend this property. Thank you again!Elisa2015-06-18T00:00:00Z
It's hard to write about how much we enjoyed our stay with Carol and Bruno, because remembering it makes us desperate to go back. Three of us stayed in the cottage for eleven days, including my wife and I, who especially enjoyed driving around the Gironde visiting small villages, markets and wine co-ops, plus our three-year-old daughter who would love nothing more than to go back to chasing rabbits in the garden and paddling in the swimming pool down the road. Ultimately, it was Carol and Bruno's warm hospitality, genius decor and useful local knowledge that made the trip such a joy. Thank you!Sharif2013-08-30T00:00:00Z
Carol is a gracious and extremely helpful host, who is full of useful information and wonderful suggestions---from the logistics of getting into Bordeaux, to wonderful restaurants and wine tasting opportunities and cooking classes, to easy places to buy groceries. Our 5 day stay was so enhanced by these warmly given suggestions---as well as tomatoes and peppers from her garden and relaxed breakfasts at her beautiful dining room table in the main house. Our little house itself was a delight---beautiful, charming, and comfortable, with plenty of outdoor spots to enjoy the sun and the lovely countryside. It exceeded our expectations! And the location of this country spot could not be better---so close to Bordeaux, St. Emilion, and the miles of vineyards on the Right and Left banks of this fabulous wine producing region.Linda2015-09-29T00:00:00Z
Carol was a wonderful host! She really loves to make her guests feel welcome and is very helpful with advice and ideas on what to do in the area. The cottage is beautiful and quiet, perfect for relaxing and spending an entire vacation there. We very much hope to go back soon.Laura2016-09-01T00:00:00Z

Go, just go!!! How do I start to describe the fabulous experience we had here (while wanting to keep our lovely find a secret!). The home is beautiful, an old farmhouse that was recently redone with Miele appliances and an amazing fireplace where we cooked and shared many fun family games and local wines around the large family table. We were there over new year, and we were lucky with lots of sunshine and beautiful vineyard walks. I ran 8km New Year's Day out the front door and saw maybe 3 cars pass and a few people outside their homes. Yet we were in Saint emilion to wine taste within 15min drive the day before. Our 3 children loved the upstairs room dedicated to children, the old school desks in the family area to sit and color, the many games and toys and best of all the ping pong table! The owners sweet father lives in a nearby home, separate from the home, and was there to greet us and help us with bags to the car on departure. Despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate and he helped us buy wine from his friend and neighbor on the night of our arrival, which was great fun for us and an experience in itself! We loved everything about our stay and wished we had been able to stay longer. We can't wait to return in warmer weather to use the pool and enjoy the beautiful property even more. I looked at many properties in the area, and not one could compare to this or had an owner as helpful and accessible. He answered so many of my questions before booking and helped find restaurants and wineries and was so helpful and kind! Again, look no further and book it if you are able.Kat & Kev2016-01-03T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing time at Maxime's place. Our group was 9 friends and there was plenty of room for all of us. It is a beautiful house (photos don't do it justice) and the grounds are lovely. Maxime's father is great and helpful, but we didn't see him at all except when we arrived and when we left so we felt like we had plenty of privacy. The kitchen is fantastic and well stocked with cooking utensils and apparatus. The bathrooms are spacious and modern, and the fireplace is to die for. There is even a large screen to watch shows, we got through a few episodes of the friends dvds that are at the house. The location is great, close to St emilion and a short drive from Bordeaux- with loads of wineries in the area. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer, will be back in summer to enjoy the pool.Jess2017-01-22T00:00:00Z
Extremely welcoming and available for questions. Loved the fast responses we had with What's App. I would highly recommend this accommodation. Quiet and close enough to San Emillion. Thank you so much Maxime!!! Loved our time there. Marie from Dana Point, CAMarie2016-05-26T00:00:00Z
It is a fabulous house with a lot of space. Very good for big groups! Every room has a fireplace so alo in winter it can be very nice. Close to a lot of wineries. We had a great stay. Thnx a lot MaximeAndré2016-06-05T00:00:00Z
The photos of this incredible house do not do it justice! It's everything you would want from a beautiful big rambling French farm house set amongst the vineyards of the St Emilion area. The impression and sense of the house as you walk through the hedge from parking the car, is quite something. We were a group of 7 staying here and we truly all had the most magical of holidays. The house itself invites you to rest and relax and we actually didn't explore as much as we would have intended as the pool area was just too inviting! The facilities the house provides, combined with the phenomenal produce and of course local stocks (!) meant we ended up cooking a lot at home and enjoying a truly relaxing and indulgent holiday. Some of us brought bikes down so we were able to explore the area also without driving, but aside from the designated Pistes Cyclable (cycle route) - be prepared from some hefty hills! Beautiful vineyards = undulating terrain!! There are an infinite amount of vineyards around which allow you to do tours or simply just the wine tasting. However, do assume to do a bit of planning as most require booking and not always as simple as dropping in. (some are though and we were relatively lucky with this) St Emilion is genuinely no more than a 15 minute drive away, and a place you will without a doubt want to visit a few times over. It is simply magical and idyllic. The local town of Branne (5 min drive) has everything you need from a local town, including a mini fresh produce market on Thursday mornings before 1pm. Maxime is a very easy, super quick and lovely person to communicate with and there was never a minute we didn't have anything we might need. As Maxime was travelling, we met his father Marco upon arrival and he was always around to help if we needed it too. A true gentleman who offered lots of helpful tips and advice also. My advice would be to book this place without hesitation! We will be going back, without a doubt.Lucy2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
Salut Maxime, we had a great long weekend in your lovely house. The house, the garden, the limetree, the quiet surrounding. We had best conditions for our cooking-event.Thank a lot for all.It is a really nice place in the surrounding of Saint Emilion, the Bordeaux-Area. Your father( ? ) was so kindly and helpful. We learnt to love this place and would be glad to stay again in your house. Many greetings to Guillac and Paris sends MathiasIsabell2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
This was a fantastic site for "making your own party"! Plenty of room for long relaxed meals in the beautiful kitchen and by the pool. We are definitely coming back!Jeffrey2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
A stunning property 15mins from St Emilion, with vines visible out of most windows. Maxime was a great host, setting up a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) group to share info about arrival/departure and GPS co-ordinates to find the house. His father was there to great us on arrival and always on hand if needed. The pictures really don't do this property justice. The pool was a good size (big enough to swim lengths), the outdoor dining area was great on a balmy evening, the indoor cinema screen was a bonus on a wet evening but the real highlight was the kitchen/dining area. Top drawer appliances and everything you needed to cook a meal meant on the odd occasion we were't tempted out by the stunning restaurants nearby (Cafe Cuisine 3km away in Branne was a particular favourite), we all settled down round the huge dining table for a real feast. Overall a truly enjoyable experience and a property I'd heartily recommend to anyone looking to explore the region and it's gorgeous wines. You will need a car and sat nav though.Rob2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

There is very cozy and big bed in the bedroom. Everything in the house is like on the pictures here. This house is lockated in the quiet area and surrounded by lots of vineyards, 25-30 min away from Bordeaux and 20 min away from Saint-Emilion. Car is necessary. It is amazing place to relax and try lots of local winesSlawa2016-07-29T00:00:00Z
The property was lovely and we had everything we needed. Guillaume & Patricia could not have been more helpful. The area was extremely quiet in October but that suited us. Branne is only 5 minutes in the car and there is a well stocked supermarket there to purchase supplies. St Emilion is about 20 minutes by car. We would happily return again in the future.Meryl2016-10-15T00:00:00Z
Guillaume and Patricia are wonderful hosts. We were welcomed to the house by Guillaume and showed around the house. The house is literally in the middle of endless wine yards. The house itself is obviously historic, but very spacious and stylish inside. The bathroom is fantastic, and has more than you might think of, the bed is soft and comfortable, the kitchen is really well equipped. I wish I could that in this house for another year. Thank you!!!Natalie2016-09-12T00:00:00Z
I spent 4 days in Guillaume & Patricia's place, right on the edge of a vineyard. It was clean, quiet, peaceful and perfectly situated for strolling through vineyards and fields, tasting local wines and generally relaxing. G&P were charming and friendly hosts - I'd love to come back here.Matt2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Or just unwind in the country air in the tranquil hills with wheat and cows and vineyards surrounding you. Merci Raphaël and cat. Un cadre merveilleux et un hôte très accueillant .

Raphael was very welcoming, we were only there for one night and we had access to the kitchen, bathroom and lovely outside. It's very quiet and calm.

A very warm and welcoming couple. Charming small attached house with two bedrooms. Perfect location for what we wanted -- which was to be between Bordeaux and Saint Emilion.

We spent a lovely couple of days there with our two children.Sono2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at le gite des vignes. Our hosts were very arranging and friendly. The gite itself was perfect for our family of three (plus 2 dogs). It was comfortable, had everything we needed (and more), and we really enjoyed the courtyard out front. The location is perfect for exploring Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion and surrounds.. Plus it offers beautiful walks through the vineyards.Nadine2016-08-04T00:00:00Z

L'accueil que nous a réservé Loomay a été des plus chaleureux. Nous nous sommes sentis tout de suite à l'aise. Ces gens sont charmants. Le gîte est très bien décoré, avec bcp de goût, très fonctionnel et confortable. Si vous avez l'occasion de goûter leurs pizzas, n'hésitez surtout pas, elles sont à faire pâlir un pizzaiolo sicilien. Merci encore à Loomay et son mari pour leur sens de l'hospitalité et leur simplicité. Nous avons passé un très bon (et trop court) en leur compagnie. Je recommande ce gite sans aucune hésitation.frank2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

We were 6 couples and 3 children. The house was perfect - a huge living space and garden, everything was catered for large groups, and she provided us with cot beds and contacts for baby sitters. An excellent choicealex2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
Laure and family have a lovely warm, super well-equipped home. The listing was very accurate except that the place is even nicer than the photos portray. 10 of us stayed for the weekend and took advantage of the proximity to great wine tasting and visiting Bordeaux. I almost don't want to share how great this place is so I can keep it for myself! What a gem!Kirsten2016-10-25T00:00:00Z
Superbe maison, spacieuse, très propre, confortable et fonctionnelle. Le jardin est très beau. Laure est sympathique et arrangeanteMatthieu2016-05-17T00:00:00Z
Locatie, woning en eigenaars zijn super! Ik zou direct opnieuw gaan. Laure is goed en snel bereikbaar!Jens2016-06-21T00:00:00Z
Nous avons passés un très bon weekend. La maison était parfaite pour accueillir toute la famille, très agréable (agencement et decoration) spacieuse et fonctionnelle. Laure a toujours été très disponible et nous la remercions pour tout!nadege2016-01-10T00:00:00Z
Séjour de 15 jours dans cette belle région. Nous avions plusieurs enfants en bas âge et le séjour s'est très bien déroulé. La maison est conforme à sa description avec tout le nécessaire pour y séjourner et la piscine parfaite pour se rafraichir et pour que les enfants s'y amusent. Localisation satisfaisante pour visiter Bordeaux, St Emilion ou les villages environnants. Merci Laure pour votre flexibilité, votre gentillesse et votre disponibilité !Jennifer2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
Nous sommes venus confiants pour ces vacances. Laure était très disponible pour répondre aux questions. La maison est très au calme mais nous avons été déçu par la prestation. La maison est effectivement récente et les photos étaient prometteuses. Nous ne nous sommes par bien rendus compte de la taille des chambres, du manque de propreté et du manque de qualité des matériaux et du mobilier. Nous n'avions pas assez de chaises en état pour notre groupe de 10 (sachant que cette maison est louable pour 13 !). Sinon, la maison est proche de Bordeaux et Saint Emilion que nous avons eu plaisir à découvrir.brigitte2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
Nous avons passé un excellent week-end entre amis dans la maison de Laure. La maison de type contemporain est magnifique, au milieu des vignes, moderne, bien entretenue et bien agencée. Nous avons également pu pleinement profiter des extérieurs dont notamment la piscine et la plancha pour dîner dehors, du bonheur à l'état pur! Laure, la propriétaire, est extrêmement disponible et très agréable. Je reviendrai avec plaisir dans sa maison.Jean-Christophe2016-06-27T00:00:00Z
