A special experience that really stays with you. The hand-painted rooms is presented with real care and sensitivity. Would happily visit again.
One of the most impressive places I've visited in Milly-la-Forêt. What struck me most was the artist's vision. Worth every penny of the entrance fee.
If you're visiting Milly-la-Forêt, don't miss this. It's hard to believe you're in the middle of Milly-la-Forêt once you step inside. Particularly recommended for families.
