We absolutely LOVED our stay at the farm, so much so we didn't want to leave! The place is so incredibly beautiful and we can't wait to come back sometime to see it in spring/summer. The whole family is very welcoming and warm and simply just want their guests to be happy. The house is great and well equipped and we had the fireplace running all day which made it even cosier. We explored the whole farm which is very well maintained and our little boy loved to help feeding the cows in the morning and join Grégoire on his tractor. Delphine showed us around and was very responsive whenever we had a question. There is a very cute farm shop on site with delicious food and drinks. A big thank you also to Mickael who took our little boy on a very special pony ride in the snow and explained him all about the farm animals. We honestly can't recommend staying at The Fontenille Farm enough and hope to be back soon for a much needed escape from city life.
