Riding our motorbike, light rain, a friendly village, need to find a place to stay overnight... And here we are: in a friendly manor home, with a warm decor and firendly hosts, "Marielle and Francois", with the value added bonus of an hearty country breakfast. You must come to sample it. Our only regret is the lack of a house ghost. Looking forward to see you again. Danièle et Gérard
