    Thank you for this great address! Perfectly suited accommodation for our small pack of 5 dogs. Enclosed grounds. Our 2 chihuahuas loved the well in the grounds: ideal for hiding and chasing each other!

    We have just had a great vacation for almost a week with our 3 dogs: 2 huskies and an Australian shepherd.
    Christine, our host, made us very welcome. She is very kind and responsive (thanks again for helping us out throughout our stay!). She loves animals and our little ones were welcomed with tenderness, which warms our hearts when we are traveling with 3 big dogs!
    The cottage is perfect: functional and very clean, with all the basic necessities. We were able to take beautiful walks just behind the gîte a few km by car. The cottage is well located near Prapoutel and Pipay for hiking. Lots of activities nearby and magnificent landscapes, there is something for everyone 🙂
    I recommend this cottage without hesitation!
    (And thank you also for the local apple juice when we arrived!)

    I recommend this little corner of paradise. A warm welcome from Christine in a superb setting, calm and serenity assured. The 5 dogs, the rabbit and the humans were delighted to share a week at the foot of the mountains. Everyone agrees to come back to Christine!
