Chocolat exceptionnel. En dégustant un bon chocolat chaud sur la terrasse face au lavoir, nous avons fini par la visite du musée qui est vraiment parfait.
Je ne peux pas vous décrire l accueil que nous avons eu, j ai envie de tout vous raconter : de A à Z nous avons été gâtés. Envie de dévaliser le magasin aussi. Donc une seule conclusion, allez-y
