And when we stay indoors?
Holidays are also about taking some time to relax. And at L’Écrin de la Cité, the fun continues even when staying indoors. In both villas, there are cozy corners for reading, space for drawing, building and inventing, and board games for lively family matches.

Dans les deux gîtes, il y a des coins douillets pour lire, de l’espace pour dessiner, construire, inventer, et des jeux de société pour des parties animées en famille.

Parce que parfois, les plus belles aventures se passent… à l’intérieur !
