Great refuge to recharge batteries
We stayed as a family of six and it is just as the other reviews say: Marj and Bruce are warm, welcoming, caring, helpful and fun hosts with lots of tipps. The cottage is just beautiful with EVERYTHING you need, it's peaceful and spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. There are lots of places to relax inside and outside with a pool that is not only fun for kids but for adults as well. The countryside is stunning with ancient villages and sunflower fields. La Maison des Renards is a refuge and it was hard to leave.
