Nous avons vraiment apprécié de résider dans un chalet dans un petit hameau avec de charmants voisins qui nous ont donné plein de bons conseils, plutôt que dans un appartement impersonnel à la station de Sainte Foy. La semaine est passée trop vite entre les très belles randos à faire (entre autres le lac du Retour et le magnifique vallon de la Louïe Blanche) et la descente de l’Isère en rafting, un grand moment ! La description du chalet est conforme en tout point. Seuls bémols, l’absence de wifi pour les ados et de terrasse pour profiter de l‘extérieur (il n‘y a qu‘un tout petit balcon), mais le propriétaire nous a dit qu’il y réfléchissait pour l‘avenir. ##### Isabelle M.

It is charming and traditional and at the same time has every modern convenience to make your stay easy and comfortable. It can easily cater for 6+ guests as it is very well planned with good storage, lovely space to cook, eat and relax and lots of hot water. The hamlet is quiet but we found the neighbours very friendly and helpful. The ski back might not suit beginners but the bus service was convenient and reliable and no distance to walk. The information provided was fantastic - saved us a lot of time as we wanted to book guides etc. It was perfect in every way and we will definitely re book Thank you + the photos of the children were very cute !!!
