Appréciations pour Domaine Thomson, Dun:
Séjour des 3 et 4 septembre 2011
Chambre d'hôtes confortable et bien équipée. La propriétaire est chaleureuse en toute discrétion. Elle nous a régalés des produits de son jardin. L'endroit est idéalement situé dans un petit village calme entre Foix et Mirepoix. Très bonne adresse, merci à Sarah pour ses conseils avisés et sa gentillesse.
