Certains déconseillent l’étape…et moi je la conseille vivement…Les rencontres et le partage sont les meilleurs moments du chemin et s’il est un endroit où l’on est bien accueilli c’est chez Marie Laurence..Au petit soin pour ses pèlerins et dans le partage lors de discussions fort sympathiques..Des repas bien pensés et nourrissants..Il nous a été difficile de repartir le matin après cette belle halte!Merci Marie Laurence et Roni.. Isabelle et Jacques.

Gite exceptionnel : dans une ancienne boulangerie, tout douillet, tenu par une fée du logis, et super cuisinière ! A ne pas louper sur votre chemin.

Ich habe mich auf meinem Weg als Pilgerin sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt. Das Gîte ist voller kleiner, sehr charmanter und dekorativer Details, die einen einladenden Charakter haben. Das Essen war sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Interessant für nicht-französisch-sprechende PilgerInnen: die Dame, der das Gîte gehört, spricht gut deutsch und ihr Sohn (der immer wieder mal wochenweise da ist und das Gîte mit betreut) spricht hervorragendes englisch :)

Une soirée parmi les plus agréables que nous ayons vécues sur le chemin depuis 2020 ! Notre groupe de 9 copines/pèlerines vous recommande vivement de vous arrêter chez Marie-Laurence qui nous a concocté un très bon repas ! Nous avons vraiment pris plaisir à discuter avec elle et à découvrir sa maison atypique et chaleureuse !
