Pauline et Simon sont deux hôtes très gentils et accueillants. Ils ont aménagé et équipé leur location afin que leurs locataires s'y sentent bien comme à la maison. "La vie douce " est idéalement située dans un lieu calme entre océan et marais comme l'indique l'annonce.Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et conseillont fortement cette location !
