We had a lovely time! Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and the place was really nicely done up and clean. We loved the outdoor space and walking through the charming village. The highlight was the Observatory night—Philippe gave a great overview of the constellations and we had a great time touring the observatory and seeing Jupiter and the stars!

Excellent séjour
Excellent séjour, hôtes prévenants, gîte confortable, pratique et agréable à vivre. Dans un coin de Mayenne reposant, sous un ciel infini entrevu depuis l'observatoire grâce à l'expertise du pêcheur d'étoiles. A recommander.
