Testimonials
"We had a great time at the "gîte" of La Penesais. Anne, Bruno, and of course, the golden retriever Loustic gave us a warm welcome. Anne and Bruno showed a genuine interest in what we planned to do each day or had already done. They also provided great tips and suggestions that matched what we found interesting."

A cuddle for your lovely dog Lulu too."
