You will be greeted at the farm by a member of the Savignol family: Colette, a spry 75, who is the guardian of our horses and for whom each one is her protegé whose story she knows inside out.... Christine the hostess and decorator of our rooms, Jean Louis the man of the moment or Amandine our daughter.
