Sur le plan du cadre, le gîte est situé dans une ferme très calme au milieu des poules, lapins, canards, chèvres et moutons. Qui quand vous les croiserez seront des plus amicaux avec vous. Vous pourrez même les nourrir et passez un temps précieux avec eux. Sur le plan du logement, la maison est vraiment sympa et tout équipée ! Accessible aux enfants et même au bébé ! La chambre des enfants sera leurs terrains de jeux pendant leur séjour, pendant que les parents pourront profiter d’un halo de soleil et d’étoiles la nuit. Le propriétaire est d’une gentillesse sans nom ! Il vous fera découvrir son univers et vous expliquera la vie de la ferme et de ses habitants. En conclusion, c’est des vacances à ne pas louper si vous voulez être dépaysé en quelques heures et faire découvrir un monde à vos enfants ! Des vacances parfaites qui auront permis à notre fils de 1 an de découvrir les animaux et de s’éveiller encore plus ! Un grand merci à toi Fabiano ! ##### Mickael F.
