La maison de Marie et Pierre est très confortable et très bien située, à environ 15 km de la ville Québec, au calme, dans un quartier très agréable, entourée de verdure ! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le délicieux plat de poulet au curry de Marie à notre arrivée. Nous avons également bien profité des vélos pour explorer les alentours. L'échange de voiture s'est passé sans encombre. Nous sommes allés voir les baleines à Tadoussac, sillonné la Gaspésie.... ! Bref, ce fut un séjour magnifique à tous niveaux ! Nous sommes de plus en plus convaincus par ce concept de vacances !
