Third home sure knows which homes to allow in their system Great host and awesome home experience. Total enjoyment every day whether at the house or in the surrounding villages. We got along fine not knowing French as many knew what our needs were. It started out as a many friends event but ended up a one couple stay. Thanks again Hans and Jacequlin and out TH manager Phil. ”
