Une jolie maison au calme
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette maison.Tout y est récent, moderne et de très bonne qualité.L'espace autour de la maison est grand et la grange permet de mettre en sécurité vélos et motos si c'est nécessaire. Les lieux touristiques sont relativement proches. Le rocher d'Oetre est une incontournable balade
