The house and gardens are beautiful. The whole area around is stunning too, lots of pretty villages and towns with great places to eat. I was thrilled to see so many birds in the garden: green woodpecker, black redstarts, various warblers. A hare visited one evening and there were many butterflies and moths. We were very entertained by the tiny lizards. The place was perfect!Just one note of caution, and this is Vrbo's error: the place marked on the map is not the property. La Pagiotiere is outside Saint Denis, not by the town hall as the map shows.
