Very nice place with lots of different activities to enjoy. There are several spots where you can have food; from a boulangerie offering local chocolate and pastries, to Italian pizza places and small wine bars.

I love this place! My friend and I go there once a week. The food tastes homemade, the coffee is delicious, and the atmosphere is amazing. Even kids find it fun and interesting.

Interesting attempt for alternative urban development. Bringing together multiple small companies, with an alternative, social and/or green mission. The chocolate company is nice and smelling really good! Bakery unfortunately closed for a few weeks, which seems strange in the middle of the tourist season.... It was not mentioned on the website or at Google, which was unpleasant because I got here ...
In summer, visit early, bring sunscreen and refillable water bottles. In winter, wear waterproof shoes for muddy paths. Spring offers blooming gardens and autumn brings cooler, less crowded days.
