A Brit in Gerberoy

My Fairytale Village

“Gerberoy is where I feel happiest. Our house is far from being a 'holiday home' – it's a doorway into French life.” Rosemary

Writer Rosemary Brown and her husband David Stanton, former chair of UNICEF-UK, fell in love with Gerberoy on a cold, wet, grey day in January 1999. Then living in Paris, they were on the lookout for a weekend retreat with a garden.Now back in London, Rosemary heads to Gerberoy six to eight times a year and stays as involved as she can. She’s a founding member of the Clos Gerberoy vineyard, helped restored the Sidaner gardens, and is a member of the June music festival Les Moments Musicaux de Gerberoy. She also helps plan and run the rose festival.
