Very peaceful

We chose this property for the reasonable price and proximity to Puy du Fou and it served us well. It is well equipped for cooking (we made 2 dinners) and there a is great selection of food nearby at the Super U. It is especially quiet at night which we appreciated. Somehow I neglected to include our grandson when making the reservation but Jocelyn was most gracious and accommodating of my mistake. There is a good shower and the composting toilet, while unusual, is perfectly fine. I would suggest 2 small changes, a thicker/softer mattress and wifi booster. We would be happy to visit again.

Unique stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unique property in a stunning location. Christian and Jocelyne were fantastic hosts, attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The house is an innovative, green build and how we should all be building houses these days. The composting toilet was a different experience for us - almost seems strange to flush now! We would love to visit again.

Cadre très agréable pour se ressourcer, vivre un moment de plénitude avec la nature.Notre hôte était très sympatique, en très peu de temps j’ai appris beaucoup de choses sur les matériaux utilisés pour la construction de ce logement très atypique. La maison était très propre et l’on y trouve tout ce dont on pourrait avoir besoin (une bibliothèque très riche, jeux de société……Le seul petit bémol pour nous fut les toilettes sèches, nous ne sommes vraiment pas fans mais nous étions avertis et avons essayé…..L’annonce n’est pas très explicative car nous pensions vraiment avoir 2 vraies chambres et il est dommage que l’entrée se fasse par la pièce où se trouvent les lits car mon mari se levant très tôt a été obligé d’attendre notre réveil dans la cuisine sinon il devait ouvrir le volet de la porte de la pièce pour sortir et nous aurions été réveillés.

Week-end pour rendre visite à notre fille

Nous avons passé un séjour de trois journées fortes agréables. Cela nous a permis de recevoir notre fille pour un repas dans ce logement.En effet, il s'agit d'un habitat atypique. C'était la première fois que nous utilisons les toilettes sèches. Ce n'est pas difficile mais il faut être prêt à cela.

Un ptit bout de paradis

Un endroit calme et superbe. La maison est dans un écrin de verdure, la vue par les grandes fenêtres est magnifique. Christian et Jocelyne sont des personnes charmantes et ancrées dans leurs valeurs et convictions. Nous serions bien restés une semaine de plus juste pour échanger davantage avec eux ! Les enfants ont également adorés leur séjours. Il y a pleins d'activités possible en moins de 20 min qui plaisent autant aux adultes qu'aux enfants ! Bien sûr le Puy du Fou mais je recommande également la visite de "la savonnerie des collines". Bref nous sommes ravis !
