Guestbook for La Maison en Pierre
Marco, Inge, Lucas, Kristel & Children - The Netherlands
Despite all the rain we had this week, we enjoyed our stay at La Maison en Pierre very much. The house is beautiful & big with all comforts you could wish for, which was – because of all the bad weather – very useful. The garden is lovely. I also enjoyed running in the fields – green & quiet, and the children, of course, liked the pool very much.
