    Nous avons bien apprécié cette chasse, notamment pour son espace vert, ses monuments, son histoire et sa somptueuse église Saint-Pierre, sublimée par un beau soleil printanier.

    Chasse moyenne mise à part l'église qui est d'une beauté remarquable. La dernière partie de la chasse, le long de l'eau, est très belle.
