A peaceful week away with my partner. The region is magnificent, the cottage is well-designed and thoughtfully furnished; it's cool inside, while we experienced almost 40 degrees Celsius outside. The pool is lovely, and the swallows come to drink – it's magical! 👌 Stéphane had left his novel "L'Escoufle" available. I read it in three days, gazing at the sky, searching for kites. 💝 Take your time to enjoy this little corner of paradise.

A truly lovely place to recharge, with a swimming pool and a magnificent view of the rolling hills! The cottage is well-equipped with everything you need to feel comfortable, and it's clean. The hosts have even thought of those arriving with a baby (travel cot, etc.). Thank you for your hospitality!
