Innerhalb von wenigen Autominuten sind viele Sehenswürdigkeiten an der Loire und der Cher zu erreichen ( z.B. Schloss Chenonceau und Amboise mit mehreren Schlössern u.a. Schloss Le Clos Lucé).Die Wohnung war blitzsauber und verfügt über ein schönes geräumiges Badezimmer. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Das große Wohn-/Esszimmer mit Küchenzeile bietet einen schönen Blick auf den weitläufigen Garten und die Terrasse.Die Vermieter wohnen im gleichen Haus und waren jederzeit ansprechbar und um unser Wohlergehen bemüht. Sogar die Tomaten aus dem Garten und frische Zitronenverbene für Kräutertee konnten wir genießen. Herzlichen Dank an Julien und Élise ##### Heike S.
