It permits you to take your four legged friend with you. The owner is very friendly and we will definitely have this house in mind for coming vacations in France. ##### Elizabeth P. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert R., Stirling, Scotland. Aug 13, 2018 #### Pleasant stay in a peaceful location. A comfortable, clean and well presented place to stay in this picturesque area. Ideal for days out visiting the many attractive towns and villages close by. We did not meet Bruno personally and so did not benefit from the advice other reviewers have remarked on. For example, where is there a nearby boulangerie......that opens regularly? For me this is a must in France! This gite suited my wife and I well, but I think four people would find it cramped. The stairs to the (attractive) bedroom are unsuitable for the infirm or very young. ##### Robert R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert S.
