Eine Woche in der Normandie
Dies hübsche, liebevoll eingerichtete Ferienhaus mit ruhigem kleinen Garten ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, Radtouren und Ausflüge. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war freundlich und unkompliziert. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Excellent séjour dans joli gîte chaleureux
Nous avons été très bien accueillis dans ce gîte bien agencé et décoré avec goût. Nous recommandons cette adresse pour découvrir cet endroit du Cotentin très riche et très joli (chemins des douaniers, paysage de campagne normande.....).
