The absolute and quintessential French village visit. This place had everything as far as views access to the lake and French cuisine. Don’t hesitate to book The only negatives were the shower. I still don’t understand the 1/2 bath and 1/2 shower combo with a small glass to keep water from getting out. Don’t let it detour you. Great stay and great breakfast. Gorgeous area of the world
