We made good use of the electric bikes to visit the nearby villages and the river transport to venture further afield. We also had the added pleasure of meeting them on our return to Toulouse.

Read More...Nobody should miss a stay with Tosca and Sigo. The house is small, but it contains everything you need- well equipped kitchen (the Philipps airfryer is great-yummi), a garden for the relaxation with hammock and flowers, a garden to the reaping of all seasonal fruits and vegetables and the best--fantastic neighbours!! Dordrecht-the oldest town of the Netherlands is in a distance of only 15min, to Rotterdam one needs approx. 30 min and you reach Amsterdam in 60 min. Relaxation is guaranteed by changes between the land life and the big towns of the Netherlands. I have received a lot of information and I spent three wonderfull weeks, with pleasure I come back:) Many thanks and I please me about a return visit. Elisabeth from France/Alsace/Colmar
