    “L'emplacement, la proximité des cafés et restaurants et celle de la superette. Pour l'appartement, plus particulièrement la taille de la chambre, le plancher et la machine a café. Je n'ai pas cuisiné car je mangeais à l'extérieur.”

Located in the heart of the square Fair King, it allows you to discover the historical aspect of the city with its monuments (Cathedral, passing the broken heart, place Plumereau, Basilica of St. Martin, Museum of Fine Arts) as well as the gastronomy region (rillettes Rillons Wines ..).
