Vi havde en vidunderlig tid i stenhuset i Sainte-Marguerite-d'Elle! Haven var absolut vidunderlig, perfekt til vores aftenbarbecue, mens vi så solnedgangen, Køkkenet var godt udstyret, hvilket gjorde det nemt for os at tilberede måltider, Vores børn elskede den rummelige indretning, og de nærliggende vandrestier holdt os beskæftiget i løbet af dagen, Værten var utrolig imødekommende og delte gode lokale tips, hvilket gjorde vores ophold endnu mere behageligt! Vi kommer helt sikkert tilbage
