    Good welcome, responding to our requests. Good value for money. Sanitary facilities a little old-fashioned, but clean and efficient. Just a stone's throw from the Palais idéal via a path through the château grounds.

    Bon accueil répondant à nos demandes. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Sanitaires un peu vieillots, mais propres et efficaces. À deux pas du Palais idéal par un chemin à travers le parc du château.
