Summary: Beautiful historical site in nature and in the middle of rivers like on an island, close to many interesting sites to visit with direct access to Canal de Bourgogne for a walk or for a ride; nice accomodations; it was much more comfortable for us to rent the 2 houses as we were 9 people ; the children's grandmother was thus able to have her own room on the ground floor! good communication with the owners and the lady settled next to the houses was very nice and available! THANK YOU.
