valley with olde worlde charm? Can anyone suggest a better way of saying this?
This is taken from marketing-orientated copy for a Chateau in France which has apparently been developed into a luxury residence for older people, and it gives very poetic descriptions of the area. I need to keep a slightly poetic feel to it, but can't think of how else to say this. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks
(P.S. for anyone all poetried out due to my earlier questions, this is the last one!) |

French2English: 8:56pm Sep 25, 2007: suezen, - I like it... yes indeed, this is exactly what I need, but couldn't think of it myself... thanks - and look at the overwhelming agreement!
French2English: 8:57pm Sep 25, 2007: Eric, - yes, I like your 'ageless' too... well-suggested.
