Response from the owner Thank you very much for these new full five green circles...It was so nice to welcome you here. You are right, this town and this part of France is very special for history and amazing monuments, and our singular house location, in the medieval heart of town, maybe add to, this very romantic atmosphere. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay here. Keeping this "out of time" zone is our constant aim when we restore a room of the house, to give each corner, a century tribute, from 15th century to our 21th( for bathrooms equipments or WIFI only) . Thereby, one of our next rooms, on restoration, will be back to the 18th century, as a tribute to the owner of these times, who kept and saved the house (and his head) during the 1789 Revolution, with a funny and very clever way.... with his wife. it was a pleasure for us to welcome you, in our home. Thank you very much for this review and your time to write it . Philippe and Christine
