gertrude hinternesch room |
|
|
|
South facing, the large double windows reach
down to the floor, providing maximum light and making the
most of the panorama down the valley of the wolf. Gertrude
has a magnificent Rococo style mahogany bed, as well
as a matching desk and cabinet. There is a full length cupboard
for hanging clothes, a mini-bar, and most of all, a great
atmosphere - there is something just 'right' about this room.
|
|
The bright bathroom has a large shower adorned
with green glass mosaics from Opio Color, and
the original roll-top bath.
An antique sink is backed by a slab of white marble
which matches the marble window sill, cascading natural light
over the bath. The original red tommette
provencal floor
tiles
remain, as do the high ceilings and a sense
of grandeur befitting a woman 'sans profession'..(see the rooms "history" at the bottom of the page).

History
|
|
She may be a bit of a mouthful, but Gertrude
has an interesting place in Le Foulon's history. Little is
known about her, except she was a woman 'sans profession'
whose main residence was 435 East 57th Street, New York. |
|
The few locals that remember the American in
their community have only imparted that she was rarely here.
Records show she owned the property for just a few years
after the second world war - we would love to know more and
a letter has been sent to her old address in the hope it
may still be connected with the family. |
